Do you have/know children between 4 and 15? Do they enjoy books and writing stories? Then you could steer them in them direction of the annual DAUNT BOOKS CHILDREN'S SHORT STORY COMPETITION. Please share this! Entries close 31st January. Good luck!

I love the original version - such a classic, but how utterly amazing is this illustrated version! WOW!

Another brilliant poem to inspire us from our children's laureate Alex Wharton. Maybe we can create our own snow poems and illustrate or animate them? Diolch, Alex! youtu.be/mPsgODY6vxI

Loving the look of this task and such a good debate to have. I wonder what you decided - to go on the dream hunt or trust you have enough dreams to keep you going through hibernation? I think I'd vote to search for more dreams! 🥳🥳🥳

Gwych! Great to see Boost supporting Welsh language development too! Gwaith ardderchog! 💪🥳

Such important words from Waterstones #ChildrensLaureate Frank Cottrell-Boyce as the #ReadingRights summit draws to a close for today!

Another excellent ‘core task’ in action at a wonderful school! So good to see your vocabulary development in action! 🥳🥳🥳

Once again a joy to be mapping literature with a school today. We are looking at wind and renewables. Definitely going to use 'Wild Is the Wind' but look at this find! Such a wonderful book...and such a superb example and model for poetry writing. WOW!!

What a treat getting a copy of this book written by a teacher I know…but with so many hidden talents! I loved it - fantastic work Mrs Keyse Malpas CiW Primary Great to read a book set in Wales with so much beautiful language and adventure! Copies available from Malpas CIW Newport.

More book mapping! This rather special mix of Haikus and facts about animals living together and supporting each other in the wild is half price today on Amazon. WOW!

WOW! This beauty is £3 on Amazon atm. Such a brilliant story about colour.

More literature mapping with schools! This is truly inspirations - true Welsh heroes.

Every time you encourage a child to read a book, you will change their lives - sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. But child by child, book by book, we can change the world. Children who read become adults who think - and will build a world that’s better for EVERYONE. #literacy
