With the new academic year approaching, this picturebook assembly overview might be useful to people. The suggested books cover themes around empathy, inclusion and diversity, and are all texts I've used in the classroom. Any shares appreciated. Link here: padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/rea…

Visited @YorkCastle museum today - we loved it! I particularly liked the fact that at several points there were lots of fabulous books to relate to that section. Lovely idea! Great place to Visit @OpenUni_RfP #readingforpleasure @booksfortopics

Just met Rachel selling her book 📕 n the street - giving her story wings. As a new author, it’s hard to break through but she’s determined. Looking forwards to reading the book. @rebauthor1

One of my boys read your book in 24 hours - not a voracious reader but adored your book! He’s onto my signed copy of the First year now. He’s produced this scrapbook page in response. Hope you like it! @OpenUni_RfP @EarlyTrain

When your 11yr old goes to their first opera and loves it - and is asked to make notes! Love these so much… 🤣 @GarsingtonOpera @WritingRocks_17 #WritingforPleasure for reference - our yr 6 play is Matilda.

And the voting time is up! TJS have loved being part of the Spark awards, and being a judge for shortlisting was an amazing honour for me. Our votes have been cast and our favourites chosen - will everyone else agree? @sparkbookaward @OpenUni_RfP @RumbleCoral

Got to love a story map! This is a key part of our process up to the end of key stage 2. My drawing has not improved though - thankfully the kids are usually better than me! The his is a map for a persuasive letter about dragons based on How to train your Dragon.
