I'm running a rare (cos I never have time any more) Whole Class Reading In KS2 Zoom on Sunday morning at 10am next week, if anyone fancies it. I know it's short notice. Retweets appreciated if anyone's still here. eventbrite.com/e/whole-class-…

First time using a graphic novel alongside our class novel. Children are very excited about using both versions - still figuring out the most enjoyable/effective way of doing it! Can’t wait @philearle 🦍

@HarperCollinsUK hi guys, I run a Y6 book club. Do you have any bookmarks/promo materials for the new Amari and the Metalwork Menace by @bbalston book? They’ve all read/are all reading the series at the moment so they would be mindblown if you do!

How can schools support teachers with keeping up to date with children's literature? Is time prioritised and, if so, how? Or is it left for people to do in their own time? I understand the challenges around fitting it in, but it's valuable CPD and needs to be recognised as such.

Our Reading Champions spent some time this week finding out about which children's books are being published in 2026 and then helping create a display. It was fantastic to see other pupils getting excited about a new book in a favourite series or from a favourite author.

@niylafarook @piccadillypress Hello! I’m a Y6 teacher and our school is in the process of opening a new library after Feb half term. Would it be possible to have some of these for our reading ambassadors who are doing a huge amount of sorting and arranging?! Just finished Tickets for Murder tonight -loved it!

My news. I am so excited about this. And to be able to talk about it. Huge thanks to @BarringtonStoke for their faith in me writing a trilogy. They have gone above and beyond.
Barrington Stoke@BarringtonStoke

Bestselling author @tompalmerauthor is back with ALLIES, an epic WW2 adventure series set in #Cornwall. The first book, out in May 2026, IF THE INVADER COMES is a gripping wartime tale of friendship, resilience & courage as three Cornish children face the threat of Nazi invasion.

Milwaukee Bucks guard AJ Green has agreed to a four-year, $45 million fully guaranteed contract extension with the franchise, Matt Bollero of ProMondo Sports tells ESPN. Tremendous success story for the Bucks: an Iowa native who went from undrafted in 2022 to making NBA and $45M.

One of the best parts of this app. Excellent advice/knowledge from people who readily give it. Have a look at some excellent picture books from this thread to use in your classroom. Thanks @smithsmm
Simon Smith@smithsmm

@mattcoll15 For starters…the Ella ones are great. The Josephine one works brilliantly alongside @catwrote new novel (which is fabulous by the way. )…

@smithsmm hi Simon, planning to write some biographies in line with BHM in Y6. Would you mind sharing your best picture book biographies for inspirational and influential Black figures? I’ve got a few but would love some lesser known gems please!

Desperately need to chat with some experienced Year 6 teachers! 😮‍💨 We’ve got our first Y6 cohort in a 6 form entry primary school, following our transition from a lower school. I’m feeling completely stressed and overwhelmed! If anyone would be happy to help, please message me!

@KarlNova our Y6 reading lesson today was based on Poetry? and the question was to summarise the meaning the children found from the poem. I said I’d share some:
