Seems the people who go on and on about ā€œthe will of the peopleā€ actually have very little respect for the actual ā€œWill of the peopleā€ if itā€™s different to their views.

Love thisā€¦

ā€œBig Bad Wolf Investigates Fairy Talesā€ by Catherine Cawthorne and is delicious fun. Itā€™s quirky and playful , packed with great science and fab brief retells. Itā€™s full of energy and humour. The kids have loved the debunking of known stories

Kissing a girl in the Maths cupboard in primary. I got the slipper and even worse I wasnā€™t allowed to be Maths Monitor any more.

Wonderful. Ed Vere follows up my fave picbook of last year ā€œThe Artistā€ ( ) with another stunner.

ā€œThe Elephant and the Seaā€ is a truly fantastic story of resolve, dreams and courage. Itā€™s a book from someone at the top of their game

Giveaway!

I was lucky to be sent an extra copy of ā€œFerrisā€ by from Walker Books
It is a truly lovely family story, rich in character and love. It made me smile and laugh and cry in equal measure. Fantastic writing.

It must be hard thinking your views are popular and then finding out that they are not.

Spare a thought for the populist grifters today!

My 4th childrenā€™s book is here & is available soon!

Hopes, dreams & nightmares in post-war Britain & rich in WWII/1950s history. Ideal for UKS2/KS3 & a good end to WWII topics.

My books are written while teaching full-time &parenting two young boys &Iā€™d appreciate a retweet! šŸ¤©

Would be useful if @Ofsted could confirm with schools what kind of inspection, Gradedā€ or ā€œUngradedā€ , they will next recieve. This clarity would be helpful

Iā€™m a sucker for books by Minh LĆŖ and Dan Santat. (This is no 4)

ā€œBuilt to Lastā€ is a brilliant story of creativity, wild imagination and friendship. The story of friendship is beautifully written and visually it zings. Lovely stuff

Can I be cheeky, I hope in a good way? I'd really appreciate any HT/CEO who follows me making their staff aware of thealternativebiglisten.co.uk. What would be great is if you could let them have 10 mins to complete it. We dont have the pulling power of Ofsted so we are relying on you.

Watched a brilliant reading lesson today, the teacher didnā€™t tell the children, there was an amazing discussion about interpretation of the book. Children supported their interpretation with evidence,there was challenge

It was rich and deep, we all understood the book better

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.
