Look Both Ways by Jason Reynolds is a wonderful collection of loosely linked short stories, and one I dip into regularly with pupils. I really enjoyed creating a set of free teaching resources based around the book for @TeachPrimary magazine.

As usual at this time of year we have people on worried about having a bumblebee ‘hive’ in their garden.
‘Are they dangerous?’
‘Should I have them removed?’
‘Will they be there forever?’
Here’s a quick #bumblebee#lifecycle thread to explain.
Please #retweet for the #bees.

Hey all #edutwitter please help. I need to know some great children’s books for KS2 that are also specifically series (or films). So far I can only think of films eg. Holes (obvs) and A boy called Christmas. Any ideas gratefully appreciated! @jonnybid@Teacherglitter 📚

The most popular reading material in class this term has been this collection of song lyrics. With volitional reading in decline, we need to start paying attention to what children are telling us about their reading preferences and valuing the texts they're already drawn to.
Over the past few months, the wonderfully inspiring @MarieZarro97723 has created a fantastic range of Padlets linked to books and reading. They contain lots of resources and book recommendations, and can all be accessed from here: https://t.co/9L7Aey7LJe
@jonnybid@NEUnion Fantastic article -thank you. My class mostly have English as a second or third language. We have discovered Zombierella this year and it’s brilliant! 🤩
