Good to see Michael - sending best wishes from the bear who needs time to build his strength.

Hurray - lovely to see the poem and the publishing too. A treat.

Feels so good to be back choosing books in a shop. Thank you @BrOOKSPinner wonderful friendly staff and an amazing children’s selection.

In the 1980s, it was virtually impossible to find a shop selling an Ireland football shirt. For years I had to make do with a Panathinaikos away kit. Jack Charlton changed all that. So many great memories. #RIP

Love these! Reading is a gift that we give to our children 📚 CLPE

In terms of trying to address disadvantage in schools, exposure to (& experience of) the world is one of keys to raising aspirations- you can't aspire to what you don't know. We then need to help them develop the confidence & belief that they can achieve whatever they set out to.

If kids are reading for pleasure, they don't need to catch up... THEY'RE ALREADY AHEAD! Reading for pleasure has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So please: encourage them to read books they really want to read, and #literacy will follow!

Thinking ahead to September and the new year 7 cohort - they won't have had a full year of in class learning since year 4...secondary school is a big transition at the best of times, but this is going to be huge for them.

Year 3 were excited to discover a magic portal in the woods this week. Where did it come from? Where does it lead? Talk for Writing Jamie Thomas Pie Corbett
