Interview with @holland_tom in today’s @Daily_Express where he champions teaching #latin in schools, just as new survey discovers the ancient language is 4th most popular language in UK primary schools. Input from @classicsforall. #languages #teaching #Classics #expressfeatures
All reading is GOOD!!! We wouldn't dream of dismissing what an adult is reading - why would we do that to a child?
I don't believe in "good reading" and "bad reading". I believe all reading is reading, and it's all good. If a child is reading something & enjoying it, I think it's wrong for adults to dismiss it or belittle it. It might be the thing that makes them a lifelong reader! #literacy
Looking forward to welcoming Y5 pupils from @StMarysDuk to the library to take part in a 'Cosmic' activity today. @frankcottrell_b

Absolute perfection. Lovely, moving and sensitive adaptation of a classic novel. Cannot praise it enough. @BBCRadio4Extra
Next week is @RefugeeWeek - we think the library is a safe, welcoming & inclusive place. Look out for our #refugee challenge & in the meantime listen to this classic refugee story by Judith Kerr.
