Ridiculously proud of this child @kidz_ink who wrote a story from the perspective of King Midas’ wife, Damodice. It’s very long, so if you can’t read it, just know that she named it ‘Husbandzilla with the Golden Touch’ 😂👏🏼

I’m looking for an English teacher to moderate some creative writing. I need an objective eye to read over around 35-40 stories and assess with a percentage. Would need to be an in-person thing for around 3 hours. £30 per hr. Please email [email protected] for more details.

The children in my class wrote essays about a person who inspires them - this child wrote about @MarcusRashford and entitled it ‘Revolutionary Rashford’🥹🥹🥹 (posted with child’s permission.)

I have a lot of hope for this young feminist who wrote an essay about Elizabeth Blackwell 💕 @kidz_ink

@BootsUK Hello! I’m having trouble getting through to someone. I placed an online order yesterday; the money was debited, but I didn’t get a confirmation and there’s no evidence of my order in my acc. Can you please help?

This child-chunk of writing made me smile today: “So the lesson of this story is to read. If you find a book that sparkles, you know what to do.” 💫

[Maria @JohnnyGirl1982]

This child is going to write an action screenplay someday and I’d better get tickets to the premiere is all I’m saying.

I’m always grateful for the wonderful feedback I receive from parents, but to receive such thoughtful, intelligent, honest words directly from a student is something else. In case I ever forget, this is why, fifteen years ago, I became a teacher. I couldn’t be more grateful 🙏🏼💕.

Today is the last day of term at KidzInk Creative Writing. To punctuate the end of another literature-laden, writing-rammed, ideas-iced year (sorry for the alliterative overload!), I’d like to post this feedback that had me in happy tears.

In lockdown, I set up a book-club @kidz_ink and realised, pretty soon, these children had something to say! So we made a podcast. With the brill @DrewToynbee's help, here we are discussing @Kiran_MH unforgettable tale, The Island at the End of Everything: https://t.co/TJm4wGostJ
