This is another brilliant read by Tom Palmer.

“Angel of Grasmere” is a beautifully told story of friendship, kindness and loss. Ultimately it’s a story of hope in the darkest times. Tarn and her friends are vivid and real but it’s the setting that truly sings out. Great !

We teach the government’s SRE guidance.

Never seen anything they’re spouting about taught in schools. (72 genders?!? Really ?!?)

Our SRE program is shared with parents.

Tired of this division creating nonsense to get a few votes.

That reasoning paper as a reading test not a maths test. It was way too wordy and complicated often for quite simple maths.

What a fantastic start to a new series… “I AM WOLF” by Alastair Chisholm is a stunning dystopian Sci-Fi. Full of giant mechanical creatures battling each other, but at its core a story about what is family and finding your tribe. Cant wait for “I AM RAVEN”

Thankyou so much Lesley Parr for this fab letter to the children in our school.

They loved the letter and are loving your books.

Curriculum is the most political aspect of school policy.

If the party in government changes curriculum will change, it is as inevitable as the seasons.

No point getting in a stew about it

Generally one that runs and is on time.

It’s a bit of a holy grail at the moment.

Hey Gillian Keegan MP, Can you explain why I have more children in school, more children with significant SEND yet we have 10 less support staff than 10 years ago when I started as a headteacher?

Photo on my phone says the Aurora was amazing.

Literally didn’t see anything when I was sat outside. It was just a bit dark.

Well that’s a rather amazing set of books heading towards our school library…(I may nab a read of them first)

What brilliant young people. Sums up the values of our school.

Had so many calls from parents of children with significant needs trying to find a school that wants their children.

No special school places and no schools willing to accept them. System is literally failing these children.

To commemorate the 12th anniversary of losing the truly brilliant #MauriceSendak .

I thought I’d reshare my favourite Sendak story. It also explains how his books understood children so well.

The winner of “Ferris” by #KateDiCamillo is JimmyD 🙋‍♂️ (please DM an address so I can send it to you)

Forgot to put finish… This will close at 7pm on 08/05/24

Repost and Like the original tweet to enter.

Seems the people who go on and on about “the will of the people” actually have very little respect for the actual “Will of the people” if it’s different to their views.

Love this…

“Big Bad Wolf Investigates Fairy Tales” by Catherine Cawthorne and #SaraOgilvie is delicious fun. It’s quirky and playful , packed with great science and fab brief retells. It’s full of energy and humour. The kids have loved the debunking of known stories #PicturebookPage

Kissing a girl in the Maths cupboard in primary. I got the slipper and even worse I wasn’t allowed to be Maths Monitor any more.

Wonderful. Ed Vere follows up my fave picbook of last year “The Artist” ( #FavePicturebooks23 ) with another stunner.

“The Elephant and the Sea” is a truly fantastic story of resolve, dreams and courage. It’s a book from someone at the top of their game #PicturebookPage

Giveaway!

I was lucky to be sent an extra copy of “Ferris” by #KateDiCamillo 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.
