So happy to see that all new parents receive so a cute book package from the @Booktrust. My Little hungry caterpillar will thoroughly enjoy this when he’s a bit older. #2weeksold @OpenUni_RfP #newbaby

A great way to end an insightful day at the @westcountryST conference. The way @MoreMorrow shared his ‘Why’ had such impact and instilled the importance of our role in education and why I am here. Thankyou 🙌
To finish we have the incredible @MoreMorrow talking about social mobility. There was such a buzz in the room today from the brilliant collaboration taking place. Thank you to all our colleagues for everything you do for the children in our schools. #strongertogether

Catching up on my NPQ whilst on the train back from London. Interesting modules on effective instruction but wish the train was smoother! #edutwitter

Saddened by this news. As a teacher Windrush Child and the Turkey poem have been such important conversation starters over the years. An incredible poet and writer ❤️‍🩹

Here's my answer from FB recently. I could add many more to this list! @moses_brian's blog & @PoetryZone also need mentioning. Lots of children’s poets have YouTube channels, so children can see poetry being performed. Also, subscribe to a quality magazine such as @TheToyPress.

Research shows that teaching grammar the traditional way—through worksheets, memorizing definitions, diagramming sentences —doesn’t work. Teach grammar in the context of reading & writing to uncomplicate the task & help students learn better. Learn more bit.ly/NCTE-grammar
