Today’s classroom.
We are an hour from the coast, so for a few, this will be their first time on the beach.

Who wants some free tablet? And a free book, but that's a secondary concern.

Teachers and librarians - like and RT to win one of 10 limited edition proofs. Closes in 24 hours, or whenever I remember.

Despite it being my day off, I am delighted to be attending this training today which I am certain will be excellent.
Thank you HertsPrimaryEnglish

What a brilliant shortlist this one is! 🌟
Congratulations to the authors and illustrators and their teams.

I’m off for one last visit to McLay’s Jam Factory. Whilst excited for another fun-fuller adventure with Scooter and Fizzbee, it’s so sad that this is the final book in this superb series that truly is a gift to young readers.
Fingers crossed Daffy Dodgy features ❤️

This course made me really think and change how I model writing in my classroom. It really is excellent CPD and I thoroughly recommend it.

To coincide with #EarthDay we're giving away a SIGNED set of all FIVE of Steve Cole excellent eco-thrillers including his latest gripping adventure DROWNING IN MY BEDROOM. To enter follow us, like this post and drop a comment below. The winner will be announced next week.

This read has it all - a relatable, likeable M character, an abundance of humour, squirm inducing moments, superb writing yet still parts were genuinely moving. It shows a different side to growing up in a city community.

The highlight of the day today was sharing this brilliant informative yet absolutely hilarious non fiction book.
‘Hands up for bum.’ It caused scenes in Year 1!! They were enthralled (and hugely loud and enthusiastic in their shrieking of bum!) Kari Lavelle

I am thrilled to see my brilliant current read (Steady for This) and my top read from last year, the incredible Safiyyah’s War on this short list.
Congratulations to the short listed authors 👏🏻

Thank you so much HertsPrimaryEnglish. I am looking forward to joining you later this month. Your CPD is always excellent.

I concur. 100%.
If this book is lurking amongst your TBRs, pull it out. If you don’t yet have a copy, it can soon be resolved. This is an absolute ‘must read.’

I’m only a few chapters into this but it’s a bit like listening to my eldest and his mates chatting in the car 😂 Nailed that man older teen voice!
