@philearle - I wanted to share just how much excitement 'When the Sky Falls' has brought to my class. When we heard about the prequel, The Dawn of Adonis, we couldn't resist reaching out to see if there’s any chance we might get a copy. It would truly make our day!

@smithsmm I love this book! It will be my second year of teaching it next year and I can't wait. Taught it to an all-boy class last year, and they loved it! Some took copies home for their parents to read.

Just thinking about brilliant books that just kind of get lost. I reread this absolute stunner by #KatyaBalen. It’s beautifully written and full of the wild, the characters are stunningly real especially October, the story is beautiful (I cried again). Yet it’s disappeared…

Exciting half-term delivery! Can't wait to get stuck in. You are a legend @Bowtie_pedagogy.

@davidjalmond My grandmother is now in a home suffering from dementia. Her mind has gone back to living in Felling in the 1940s and 50s. I believe she lived on a similar council estate. I love listening to her stories and have started writing everything down.

My piece in this week's New Stateman. A special edition, edited by Gordon Brown, about childhood poverty in UK today.

@MrHtheteacher No one going for tenrec then? 😂

In our school, the classes are named after their teacher's favourite animal. It gives a little glimpse into their character, which I love! What animal would you choose as your class name, and why?

@AVisserFuray I am so sorry to hear this. Sending love and prayers.

My husband Jeroen died Wednesday in hospice surrounded by family in #teamJeroen tshirts. He loved his family beyond measure; last photo of the Visser 7 here. While we are bereft, in this glorious weather, we imagine him in his happy place, in his hammock with his dog & books.

@philearle @AndersenPress How exciting! This looks incredible ❤️

Delighted to be able to talk about Fred Fordham’s glorious graphic novel adaptation of WHEN THE SKY FALLS, publishing in October with @AndersenPress . What Fred has created is so special. 10 & 50 year old me is dancing.

@Fram_Sport Well done, Rafa 👏

Tennis: Rafa competed and won the Division 1 Tennis event at Ipswich Sports Club last week. He finished top of the group with 49 out of a possible 50 points. Very well done.

@Petersbooks @philearle @BarringtonStoke Brilliant news! 👏 Totally deserved ❤️

@K2SR7 - Loving your resources on TES ❤️ I have just purchased your assessment resource on 'The Giver', and it doesn't seem to be the complete document. Would you mind taking a look? Thank you 😊

@Bowtie_pedagogy I've just pre-ordered a copy ❤️

amzn.eu/d/aRFjdKU I have been working on this for the last year and a half and I'm very proud of it. Unapologetically practical, written for the classroom teacher who needs clarity to get live modelling straight away.

@Bowtie_pedagogy This is so awesome, Chris! I can't wait to read it. What an amazing achievement 👏

@Fram_Sport Well done, girls 👏

Netball: The U13s played in the OBH Festival today. The girls played some excellent netball which has been great preparation for Fridays IAPS tournament. Thank you OBH for the hospitality.
