Our School Council decided that the Girls’ toilets needed its very own ‘Bobble Box’. 🎀👱‍♀️🚽

They wrote to the local hairdressers salon, who kindly agreed to sponsor this initiative for the year.

Today their idea came to life 💡🤩

One of the few things we know for certain about the Southport incident is that if you are really concerned about it, it would be a very good idea to show that concern by giving blood.

[Gemma Jones @TeachGems]

Exciting news 🤩
Loved book one, just know it’s going to be a series the kids are hooked on 👌

[Mel Taylor-Bessent @MelTBessent]

Today I wrote chapter 1 of Race to Imagination Island 3 and I am BUZZING to write the rest!!!

Don’t get me wrong, I love book 2 too - my editor called it ‘proper twisty’ 😍 (it publishes March 2025) but I think I may have pushed my imagination to the limit with this one 🌈🏝️✨

[Gemma Jones @TeachGems]

@thelivingbeard Cheeky chap

[Mel Taylor-Bessent @MelTBessent]

YAY!!! Thanks so much for making Race to Imagination Island your Book of the Week @BooksForKeeps!

‘Fast-paced, funny and full of invention, this is a book children will read and then play out at breaktime or with their friends.’ 🏝️🌈✨

Every time I buy a hot chocolate, I seem to get less drink and more froth. This morning was half a cup 😠

[Gemma Jones @TeachGems]

@MelTBessent Oooh, can’t wait! 👌

[Gemma Jones @TeachGems]

Just finished this! It’s perfect for years 4 or 5…an exciting, imagination fuelled adventure that the children are going to love. Great for fans of the Land of Roar series (and notes of Hunger Games too!). Can’t wait for book two 👌📚 @MelTBessent
