@englishassociation.bsky.social My English 4 - 11 arrived. Great articles on handwriting, use of books by @nealzetterpoet.bsky.social & @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social as well as book reviews on texts by @alastairc.com @ellemcnicoll.bsky.social @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social & @topsypage.bsky.social 👍

It has been a joy being part of the @englishassociation.bsky.social picture book awards process with the children in our school because they have offered so much insight about what matters to them and what engages them.

Thank you to the speakers at the @englishassociation.bsky.social meeting this evening. Great to hear so much enthusiasm for reading and to be given some advice on how to establish a strong reading culture for all children.

A wonderful discussion with the children today after reading A Kind of Spark by @ellemcnicoll.bsky.social absolutely loved it. Having to take in my spare copies of Keedie, Show Us Who You Are etc due to popular demand as class copies are out.

Really good to have people commenting on their first impressions and those of their children as we begin the initial process of judging the @englishassociation.bsky.social non-fiction picture book awards.

Another gem from @wonderlandbookshop.bsky.social today. A graphic-novel style picture book about hope, healing and the importance of nature.

What a thoughtful story highlighting the impact of labelling others

Yeah, collected Endgame by @melindasalisbury.com and @barringtonstoke.bsky.social from @wonderlandbookshop.bsky.social such a great series that highlights so many important issues with a fantastic range of relatable characters

@clairelinney.bsky.social I loved Time Tub Travellers and passed it on to my wife who is now going to use it with her class considering it is much more interesting, inspiring and relevant than the text they were going to use. Thank you and @wonderlandbookshop.bsky.social who recommended it.

Well @barringtonstoke.bsky.social AdelAIDE Just wants to help by @melindasalisbury.com was fab and I can’t wait to use it in class and share with colleagues when I do my AI workshops as it’s so relevant. Looking forward to picking up the other two related texts from @wonderlandbookshop.bsky.social

Picked up this intriguing text alongside a fantastic range of books at @wonderlandbookshop.bsky.social today. Even though I have only just started it, there are so many ideas for teacher resources because it is such an important theme. Are there any resources available @barringtonstoke.bsky.social ?

Delighted to receive our @poetrybyheart.bsky.social resources today. What a fabulous range to explore

@literacy-trust.bsky.social Looking forward to poetry sessions on Monday linked to Young Poet Laureate

Shame I can’t make this event because I’m sure it will be fantastic and a great opportunity to explore poetry in an exciting way.

Another treasure trove of books from @wonderlandbookshop.bsky.social

Used a number of strategies from @writingrocks.bsky.social within our science this week which led to some fantastic pieces and eager writers. They also loved having the opportunity to explore how images and font styles can help further inform readers.

Fully deserved nomination as this is a class favourite and has led to a number of hilarious discussions.

Another exciting @englishassociation.bsky.social event that will support the teaching and exploration of poetry.

We have signed up for this fantastic celebration of poetry and are looking forward to the upcoming webinars.

Such a powerful and inspiring story, great choice
