@latimercollege Hey! Are there any parents who drive their young person to school from Wellingborough/nearby who’d be interested in a car-share?

Cinnamon by @neilhimself is such a beautiful, thought-provoking and funny text and is part of the Literary Curriculum #Year4 offer. We love using it to inspire children to tell their own Cinnamon-inspired stories. @OFFICESPS

We are over the moon to announce that for the second year running we are a @TeachPrimary Award Winner! The Literary Curriculum has scooped the 4 star award and the team couldn't be more chuffed with the comments about the quality of literature and the planning sequences 😊🙏❤️📚

Every month we ask one of our schools to write a case study about how they’ve introduced, adapted and embedded the Literary Curriculum in their school. You can read them all here on our website 😊 https://t.co/7RWCIPkG5G

Our brand new Literature Review for September is here with a theme of 'Wild at Heart' as the books we've chosen that are out in September are all about channelling our inner wild child and remembering our roots. @theAliceRoberts @holliejhughes https://t.co/KwhJYLXnS1

Looking for a way to use a book to link into a topic about Vikings? We can recommend Odd and the Frost Giants and our #planningsequence for it! So many opportunities for purposeful writing whilst being immersed in all things norse! @neilhimself @chrisriddell50 #teachthroughatext

My niece is doing her “I’m so HAPPY!!!” dance because her new books (including ‘Clean Up!’ By @NathanBryon and @DapsDraws ) have arrived! Warning, this video contains very excited squealing😂❤️

#LineofDuty S1 E3 Last night's episode featured the first ever clandestine meeting between Steve and undercover Kate, filmed in Paradise Circus, Birmingham. Sharp-eyed viewers may have spotted that you never see their faces when they say "Tony Gates". That's because ... 1/2

We think this article on diversity in settings is spot on by Becka White https://t.co/TMDO82oMGg and we were so happy to see two of our favourites included in her list - Boy in the Tower by @bookhorse and Overheard in the Tower Block by @JosephACoelho https://t.co/ntLiDSNOAg

We could not be more excited about this as The Promise has been a Literary Curriculum staple for a few years. It is the best example of the kind of book we choose to support having critical conversations whilst immersing children in beautiful literature. Cannot wait for the film!

Our detailed plans can be adapted and personalised by schools and individual teachers to suit their children. Every sequence uses high-quality children’s literature to engage, excite and motivate children #teachthroughatext #hookwithabook
