When a preorder arrives early - looking forward to sharing #IfTheInvaderComes @tompalmerauthor with our Y6 cohort on Tuesday. This copy is for our school library as I've ordered my copy from @shrewbooks

[Tom Palmer @tompalmerauthor]

@mattcoll15 Can’t wait to launch it with you next week.

[Matt Collinge @mattcoll15]

This brilliant book comes out next week! Our school (and my previous two Year 6 classes) have had the privilege of working with Tom on this and it's super cool that it is coming out. Set in Cornwall, it captures our county perfectly. Pre-order your copy now! @tompalmerauthor

Here is the link to the recording of a webinar I hosted focusing on Questioning for Teaching & Learning.

Feel free to share with colleagues if you think it's useful. 😊

I'm running a rare (cos I never have time any more) Whole Class Reading In KS2 Zoom on Sunday morning at 10am next week, if anyone fancies it. I know it's short notice. Retweets appreciated if anyone's still here.

First time using a graphic novel alongside our class novel. Children are very excited about using both versions - still figuring out the most enjoyable/effective way of doing it! Can’t wait @philearle 🦍

@HarperCollinsUK hi guys, I run a Y6 book club. Do you have any bookmarks/promo materials for the new Amari and the Metalwork Menace by @bbalston book? They’ve all read/are all reading the series at the moment so they would be mindblown if you do!

[Jon Biddle @jonnybid]

How can schools support teachers with keeping up to date with children's literature? Is time prioritised and, if so, how? Or is it left for people to do in their own time? I understand the challenges around fitting it in, but it's valuable CPD and needs to be recognised as such.

[Matt Collinge @mattcoll15]

@jonnybid So good!

@niylafarook @piccadillypress Hello! I���m a Y6 teacher and our school is in the process of opening a new library after Feb half term. Would it be possible to have some of these for our reading ambassadors who are doing a huge amount of sorting and arranging?! Just finished Tickets for Murder tonight -loved it!

[Tom Palmer @tompalmerauthor]

Back at Mylor Bridge School in Cornwall. They are helping me write my new series, Allies.
Set right here during WW2. Invaluable.

Very very exciting news:

[Tom Palmer @tompalmerauthor]

My news. I am so excited about this. And to be able to talk about it. Huge thanks to @BarringtonStoke for their faith in me writing a trilogy. They have gone above and beyond.

@bbalston am I making it up or is Amari being made into a graphic novel?

[Matt Collinge @mattcoll15]

@MrBoothY6 thanks for hosting us yesterday. Took lots away from it and it was great to see your school - children were amazing. Will email regarding WTSF graphic novels in the new year.

Milwaukee Bucks guard AJ Green has agreed to a four-year, $45 million fully guaranteed contract extension with the franchise, Matt Bollero of ProMondo Sports tells ESPN. Tremendous success story for the Bucks: an Iowa native who went from undrafted in 2022 to making NBA and $45M.

[Ashley Booth @MrBoothY6]

I have the graphic novel of When The Sky Falls. The RRP is £14.99, but for this weekend only I'm offering it for £12 including free delivery. Please let me know if you are interested, but please note this is only available with payment via bank transfer to avoid card fees!

One of the best parts of this app. Excellent advice/knowledge from people who readily give it. Have a look at some excellent picture books from this thread to use in your classroom. Thanks @smithsmm

[Simon Smith @smithsmm]

@mattcoll15 For starters…the Ella ones are great. The Josephine one works brilliantly alongside @catwrote new novel (which is fabulous by the way. )…

[Matt Collinge @mattcoll15]

@smithsmm @catwrote Thanks Simon, really kind to share your thoughts. Not so good for my bank balance but will look forward to some arriving next week!

[Matt Collinge @mattcoll15]

@smithsmm hi Simon, planning to write some biographies in line with BHM in Y6. Would you mind sharing your best picture book biographies for inspirational and influential Black figures? I’ve got a few but would love some lesser known gems please!

[Matt Collinge @mattcoll15]

@smithsmm Appreciate it, thank you!
