Comics give young people reading super powers! They buck the trend in declining reading enjoyment and can be used to inspire a future generation of readers.
Got reluctant readers in your class? We've got the perfect author event (click below to reveal!) 👀.

Hurtling through foggy Sussex for more World Book Day week fun, this time at Bartons Primary School in Bognor. Looking forward to meeting everyone (if I can find you in the fog!). @Team_Bartons @WorldBookDayUK

@PeterBently @Team_Bartons @WorldBookDayUK Thank you for visiting us today Peter, we hope you enjoyed your day with Team Bartons. The children (and adults) loved your storytelling and you have inspired our young authors. What a great day full of book love!

So, this is new. KS2 attainment by phonics prior attainment. I guess that gives us an idea of how the DfE will address the issue of missing progress data in 2024 and 2025 due to lack of KS1 results. gov.uk/government/sta…

All these peeps going on about extending the school day, are they aware that some time after lunch a switch goes off in a child's brain that replaces everything with blah blah blah blah until they get home?

Every day, every week another directive, change of guidance or u-turn. Please can we just have some continuity and time for things to just be. I’m tired!

@IsabelOakeshott You are right @IsabelOakeshott thousands of teachers will have clapped for the NHS tonight. You are wrong to say teachers need to step up though. We never stepped down. We never do!

Tonight thousands of teachers will clap for the NHS. Time for teachers to show the same bravery! The risk in schools is nothing like the risk in hospitals. Millions of children now need teachers to step up.

@MrsO_yr5 @petergbell @LaraWilliamson @JM_Forster @OnjaliRauf Same author as Boy at the back of the class. Did you read that ? I know Clayton has 👍🏻

@MrsA_Powell @petergbell @LaraWilliamson @JM_Forster @OnjaliRauf I’ve heard really good things about it, I might nab it and read it before he gets a chance lol.

Please don’t volunteer to work in schools. There are much better teachers, and leaders and support staff working flat out, now, to care for children of key workers and vulnerable children and supporting pupils’ learning at home. They are courageous. You are not.

Schools will remain closed until further notice to all except the children of critical workers and vulnerable children.
Schools will only be re-opened when the scientific advice says it would be safe to do so.

Please share with other parents and carers.
If your work is not critical in the response to coronavirus then please keep your child at home.
