@Snoopy1975 @_MissieBee This is heartbreaking. No child should feel like a failure, including those who make the additional efforts to live and learn as bi- and multi-lingual people. 🧡

@_MissieBee I have taught in schools with very high EAL and recently arrived pupils. They usually use weaker synonyms to explain due to language acquisition. They clearly understand the text and question but are judged against fluent native speakers. They are gutted when they “fail”.

Not sure why there isn’t more outrage about this, unless I’ve not seen it?? I went off on this little rant in my analysis of the Reading SATs paper (link below) and SHOCK, this situation has come true 🧵 THREAD 👇🏼 primary.lbq.org/hub/ks2-readin…

I love John Agard's work. I love his performances - uniquely brilliant! He's a star in the firmament of poetry - for adults but especially for children. I can't think of anyone who deserved this award more!
CLPE@clpe1

John Agard won the CLiPPA for a record third time with 'The Poetry World of John Agard', a wonderful example of just how powerful children’s poetry can be. Find out more: voice-online.co.uk/entertainment/…

Really thoughtful view from a student who recently sat her GCSE exams. I'd agree with pretty much all she says, especially her suggestions for changes & I loved her comment on what made History her favourite (and highest grade) subject!

GCSEs have come under fire in the sector recently for the high-stakes nature of the exams, but what do the learners themselves think? A-level student Hannah O’Brien says change is needed tes.com/magazine/analy…

Normally keep personal stuff to FB, but there's people here still who know me. Mum passed away this week, having been a mum for 61 years, a wife for 66, a grandmother for 30 and a great-grandmother for 5. 💔

Oh no, black wrap has appeared on the handsome pillar box with Edward VII cypher along Trumpington Street in Cambridge. Fingers crossed that it's just general maintenance work and not digital conversation #PostboxSaturday

Happy #postboxsaturday to all who celebrate. This Penfold post box from London is around 150 years old. There are replicas in use made in the last 40 years; the easiest way to tell is to look at the maker's name on the base - Cochrane for an original vs Machan for a replica.

Next year, let's create writing of beauty. 'Smooth as an apple's skin'... 'ocean-clear diamonds' - you cannot have success criteria for this sort of writing. It kills creativity and using imagination and playing with language and truth.

A proud moment. Authorgraph #279 in @booksforkeeps magazine. Wonderfully done by Damian Kelleher, inviting me to talk about how and why I write about troubling things, like war. Thank you for the opportunity! booksforkeeps.co.uk/article/author…
