If you had the opportunity to attend the May Day gathering at Giant Hill in #CerneAbbas this morning and have a keen interest in delving deeper into the #history and #archaeology of chalk hill carvings, then mark your calendar for Saturday, 28 September 2024. (1/2) #Dorset

Very excited to find #MurderatSnowfall on the wonderful #MyBookbuzz scheme. Librarians, teachers of year 7 - if you haven't heard of it, click on the link below. It's value for money and gives every child in a year a choice of book, as well as a goodly stack for your library. 📚

Sign up for #MyBookbuzz and give your Year 7/8 students the chance to choose and keep their own book from a range of hand-picked fiction and non-fiction!

Children can sometimes be incredibly concise in their reviews. 'It was like a rollercoaster' is a neat tag to tempt other readers. Makes me think there should be more writing lessons just on creating tempting tags. Fleur Hitchcock = same name on all social media. Nosy Crow Reading for Pleasure 🧶
