13th book of the year - from a more exciting setting! So great to read such an enchanting book as #thegirlofinkandstars after a break. The book follows Isa on a journey of courage in a distant land. A wonderful read, I’ll recommend when back at school @Kiran_MH #summerreading

14th book - #circe by Madeline Miller a gripping tale of mythology and feminism. This book spans centuries yet feels detailed and beautifully described on every page. A wonderful story with an incredibly satisfying ending! #summerreadingchallenge #readingwomen Women's Prize

15th book of the year was the unbelievable story of Roy and Celestial in #anamericanmarriage by Tayari Jones - the story is a bitter sweet tale of two lovers in the middle of a huge racial injustice. Not a light read but thoroughly enjoyed. #summerreading #readingforpleasure

When haters go after your looks and differences, it means they have nowhere left to go. And then you know you’re winning! I have Aspergers and that means I’m sometimes a bit different from the norm. And - given the right circumstances- being different is a superpower. #aspiepower

As an English teacher working in a girls school, I am always explaining the power of our words and the intent behind them. It is shameful that in 2019 our Prime Minister constantly uses sexist and derogatory language that deepens the view that women are weaker than men

Year 10 enjoyed their first #DEARtime of the school year! #readingforpleasure #readingchallenge Flixton Girls School

A great article to read for contextual information / stretch and challenge on the setting in #achristmascarol to push the top end, and to encourage a love of literature beyond the course Team English ❄️ 📚 AQA English google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theg…

Sadly today our van full of props/costumes for GYPSY was stolen. 12 huge laundry bags full of 1930s/40s costumes were in the back. For us these costumes are irreplaceable & we would love to get them back. We are appealing for anyone who might have any information.

“I ought to have been thy Adam; but I am rather the fallen angel.” A fantastic trip to Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse theatres to see #Frankenstein with Year 11 today. The production really helped showcase the novel as a construct, and really brought the Gothic elements to life. Flixton Girls School

My 2019 #NewYearsResolution was to read more than the pitiful 4 I managed in 2018. It’s no bookcase, but I’m proud of the collection! My #2020 resolution is to top this, and get enough arm muscles to hold the pile of books without buckling 💪🏼 📚#readingchallenge #readingcommunity

Just read an enlightening (and really short!) article on the importance of knowledge and reciting in the English Classroom - files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ931… 📝 📚

Starting this read today! Trying to use this time to reflect and gain inspiration for when we return to school. The tag line for this book is already motivating me! 🔥👊🏼 Charlotte Woolley
