Our pupil recommendation shelves have been up and running for years. Today, something happened that has never happened before. One of my pupils asked if she could include her writing journal on the shelf because 'I've written some poems I'm really proud of'.

Teachers of poetry in schools and colleges: do you know about this fantastic video 'library' of modern poets performing their poems? @ApplesAndSnakes

Since the DfE's new writing framework seriously downplays the importance of emergent writing, I'm giving away a free copy of my book on mark making because it 100% *does* matter! ☺️

Like and retweet to enter. Winner announced next Thursday. #EYFS #giveaway #freebie

If we want to attract children like bees to the idea of writing, we must treat our classroom as a field and fill it with the sweetest of nectar – good literature…

📝 Thread: Developing Children’s Writerly Confidence 🧵…

1/7: Writerly confidence is fragile, especially in the early stages of learning to write. The first encounters with writing teachers are crucial—they shape students’ perceptions of themselves as writers. 👇

The No. 1 player in the world (by far) was asked today about what defines him.

Please don't leave class storytime to videos and audiobooks. My pupils evolve after every book we share together. Relationships changed, ideas put forward, friendships built, opinions challenged, empathy developed, discussions had. It builds a class like nothing else.

@_MissieBee Yes 🙌 I think it took until a few months ago, so when she was about 21 months but even now (27 months) it can still be hit and miss at times xxx
