With spring in bloom, Brown Bear Wood is a great text to introduce to your EY & Y1 pupils. An exploration of the seasons and the everyday things we may get up to. With a poem and a look and find activity on each page, pupils won’t be able to resist poring over the illustrations!

Courage, empathy and friendship.. Call Me Lion by Camilla Chester has all 3 in spades. The story is told from 10 year old Leo’s perspective, sharing what it’s like to have SM. Celebrating uniqueness and individuality, this is a must read! We can see why it’s been shortlisted!!

Why do books matter? Because books open eyes & hearts & minds. They can show us the world in a different light, helping us imagine other lives. Books can connect us, bringing us together, building bridges in a world of walls. They are the greatest empathy engines ever invented.

Fantastic to meet with colleagues working across primary and secondary phases this afternoon at our OU/UKLA TRG. A buzzy book blether 📚 and lots of professional discussion around fostering pupils’ RfP. Development areas agreed and it’s now time to put RfP plans into action!

Btw, this is absolutely my new favourite book to read to the smallest of children.

We have a new @OnjaliRauf favourite! Our English Hub team absolutely love The Letter with the Golden Stamp. Offering a window into a young carer’s perspective, this important book is heart-warming, moving and a definite empathy builder!
