@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

Joined Writing4Pleasure today as there are so many great ideas based on research that have already helped my teaching and I look forward to reading this in the future.

Really interesting book from @wonderlandbookshop.bsky.social about parental pressure and choosing to be yourself. Lots of great discussion points.

📚 BOOK GIVEAWAY! 📚 These books underpin the Implementing Oracy programme, running Jan–Jun 2026 at Hughes Hall, University of Cambridge. Find out more 👉 oracycambridge.org/implementing... Entry details below

Very interesting @englishassociation.bsky.social session based on Shakespeare Illuminated. A great way of bringing a text to life and making it meaningful

Booked tickets for this event. So many key speakers.

@poetrybyheart.bsky.social We had a session on the poem ‘An emerald is as green as grass’ that the children loved and were so proud at remembering - those visual cues really helped.

@writingrocks.bsky.social Just wanted to pass on that this article has been v informative after getting ideas from @openuni-rfp.bsky.social conference. Today, the class enjoyed writing & illustrating their work as they wrote. It helped them make so connections. 👍 writing4pleasure.com/2024/07/19/d...

Remember to look out for the latest @englishassociation.bsky.social English 4 - 11 edition as there a whole array of informative articles with a focus on the 2025 Picture Book Awards

Picked up another informative @uklitassociation.bsky.social mini book today that will support colleagues without overwhelming them.

Wonderful @openuni-rfp.bsky.social conference. Well-deserved award to @nj13.bsky.social for her incredible work. Delighted to meet @amdassu.bsky.social and @robbiddulph.bsky.social who were both incredibly inspiring as were the workshops.

Very much looking forward to the @openuni-rfp.bsky.social conference in Milton Keynes next week. Great to see that @teresacremin.bsky.social will be talking about the importance of transition because it’s so vital.

@bigeducation.bsky.social delivered some great training yesterday about AI and highlighted some key messages about safety, security and policies. We all came away informed and excited about the project we are taking part in. Love the link to @lyfta.bsky.social and the lesson plans look great.

Delighted to pick up my copy of Sinbin Island by @dougrdnaylor.bsky.social at @wonderlandbookshop.bsky.social

@wonderlandbookshop.bsky.social you are absolutely right about this incredible book. The images and language are so powerful

Thank you to @wonderlandbookshop.bsky.social arranging the Beth Walker visit today as she was fantastic

Had a great time exploring @lyfta.bsky.social So many inspiring ideas.

Really looking forward to the @englishassociation.bsky.social Chaucer event on Saturday. Will be interesting to explore the different ways his texts are being used in schools.

Delighted to Beth Walker and @wonderlandbookshop.bsky.social in tomorrow for Y5 and 6. Going to be so much fun.
