A very welcome drop on the doormat just now - Chasing Clouds from @TheDirigible, thanks to the very hard work of @JonathanHumble.

I’m so chuffed to have 2 poems in this wonderful anthology. Its chock full of amazing poetry. I can’t wait to share it with my boys and my class! 💗

This book looks great. Looking forward to reading it with the boys.

It was @fificalvert! Are you still around? Does your now 14 year old still appreciate bison? Please thank him or her for the inpso!

@CaroleBromley1 Thank you. He’s had the condition since birth but is much more aware of it now he’s 13. He’s is not one of those “too cool for a teddy” teens so the penguin was well-received. He is indeed in excellent hands.

This is lovely. My son’s cardiologist gave him a toy with a heart-rate recorder “implant” and an activator device on its flipper - just like his own implant and activator. He so often feels down about his “wrong” heart but this has made him feel seen and less “different”. 💗

@BardyMum I’ve seen those too. They’re such a good idea. 💗

@FionaHalliday1 @KateHenry92 @TweetsbyKayM10 Sounds amazing, Fiona. Glad it went so well!

[Fi Calvert @fificalvert]

@rhicatjam Wonderful performance of a great poem!

[Fi Calvert @fificalvert]

@FionaHalliday1 Thanks - I shall credit you and share some of your poems with the children that week. Let me know how it goes!

@ThalamusPlank @FionaHalliday1 @JThomasABC @TheDirigible @JonathanHumble @JARProject Beautiful!

[Fi Calvert @fificalvert]

@MrWalkerPrimary @MichaelRosenYes @OpenUni_RfP @jonnybid Completely agree!

[Fi Calvert @fificalvert]

@MrWalkerPrimary @MichaelRosenYes @OpenUni_RfP @jonnybid Agree. I keep mine topped up with books I find in charity shops and I have taken in all my own kids’ old picture books now they’ve outgrown them. Would have few high quality, good condition books if I didn’t.

[Fi Calvert @fificalvert]

@MichaelRosenYes @OpenUni_RfP @jonnybid It’s not usual to have scheme books in a book corner and children often get to take a library book home alongside their phonics book.

I would guess many well-stocked class libraries include books personally purchased by teachers though.

[Fi Calvert @fificalvert]

This looks great. Just registered!

[C Bentley-Davies @RealCBD]

When you write a book your publisher gives you a few free author copies. Most of them are being given to people who helped me write it. But I have 1 spare. I’ll give it to someone after the 28th Feb. Retweet & follow to be in with a chance! 🌞

@MrHtheteacher You’re safe! If I ever was a ghost stuck in a school I’d probably just stick some work in books and tidy up the reading corner to help out a bit. 😆

[Fi Calvert @fificalvert]

@MrHtheteacher Had a spooky feeling that this hall looked familiar, then I realised it’s because I worked there 13 years ago.

[Fi Calvert @fificalvert]

Lovely bit of post on the mat today. Looking forward to sharing this with my boys this evening. Will take it into school to share with my class next week. I’ll enjoy using the excellent pencil too 😆 @BardyMum #childrenspoetry #kidlit

@JSellarsLies, I read this at the end of the day with my Y1s and dramatically pointed at the window on the last line. And there, outside the window, was a cloud that looked just like rain. We all got wet when we went out for home time. The kids loved it.
