Wouldn’t it be wonderfully poetic if, a couple of years after trying to illegally prorogue parliament and lie to the queen, she told Johnson to get on his bike?

Remember when Williams was given a code violation for claiming the umpire was a thief? She said men got away with this stuff all the time. Today Shapovalov told the umpire ‘you’re all corrupt.’ No code violation… #AusOpen

These are brilliant! I can't comment on the actual tweet for some reason, but I LOVE them! Well done to everyone who got involved. They're fab!

The ambitious crow You see a twig in her beak But she sees a home Written by a pupil of mine just now. He saw a crow flying past his window, we were writing Haikus, and hey presto! It's instantly become one of my favourite poems ever

Thank you to Conrad Burdekin for spending the day with Sunshines and @OPALL_Rainbow21 creating poetry. Also a big thank you to parents and carers for coming to see them perform their poetry. I am sure you will agree they did a great job!

Hey AQA any idea when my daughter’s GCSE Science results might be found? Almost a week after results day. No answers provided by you to her school or to us. Customer service appalling. Total disgrace

What a great morning I had! I'll be honest, I did not imagine we'd be writing poems about Monkeys going to hospital and oranges changing careers and becoming Astronauts, but therein lies the power of poetry!

I took twitter off my phone a few months ago. I keep forgetting to look at it on my PC. So when I DID finally remember (just now), how lovely was it to find this tweet? Thanks so much!

This is absolutely brilliant. Proper put a smile on my face. I THINK this is the first time I've ever seen this poem performed by anyone other than me. Well done Class 3! I really, really enjoyed that! (PS: Do you actually like sprouts? I LOVE THEM! Especially with bacon...)

I've only just seen this. Miss C, thank you for making my day! I'm so happy to read this - how wonderful! Some teachers are a little bit snooty about kennings - I think they're a fantastic way for ANYONE to access poetry

What was most remarkable about this... twenty minutes before I arrived in the classroom, Year 6 had literally just started learning about Ancient Egypt!

When you look at twitter and find out @mrstinyear3 was at the same park run as you and that it also happened to be your personal best time by over a minute!

Loved the run at #sheffieldhalfmarathon today. Friendly folk, great views, excellent support. Sadly, however, the organisation at the beginning was poor - 15 minutes late start, no communication, bag drop chaos, km markers incorrect, portaloos almost non-existent. I was surprised
