Worst day ever :tommy lungs not functioning.gonna try going in from groin again and then more open heart surgery.the head consultant saying “we’re not gonna grow the towel in just yet “ didn’t really help .need a break to get back some positivity

@TomPaceLabour He should be ashamed of himself

So excited to get this in the post today, had almost forgotten I had ordered it. @chrismouldink this is absolutely stunning!!!! 😁

@stammer_teacher Yes please! 😁

My dream book has arrived!! ⁦@PieCorbett⁩

It is one minute past midnight, and the embargo has lifted, so here’s a thing I’ve waited nineteen months to be able to say: no school will ever receive a single-word/phrase judgement again. They are gone, they are history…

@PieCorbett A stunning book cover!

Think the title should be a tad higher?

Kensuke’s Kingdom: Delightful family entertainment featuring Cillian Murphy in Michael Morpurgo’s swashbuckling adventure irishtimes.com/culture/film/r… via @IrishTimesCultr

@NicoletteJones @ModernFilmsEnt @oxfordlitfest @frankcottrell_b As a teacher of many years, I have dreamed of this day!!! One of my favourite books of all time 😍

@ModernFilmsEnt About 20 years ago I chaired an event at the @oxfordlitfest with Michael Morpurgo and @frankcottrell_b in which Michael asked Frank: Will you make a film of my book Kensuke’s Kingdom? I just wept at the animated film of Michael’s story - with Frank’s script, released this Friday.

Written by Frank Cottrell-Boyce from Michael Morpurgo’s beloved 1999 novel, KENSUKE’S KINGDOM features an impeccable voice cast including Sally Hawkins, Cillian Murphy and Ken Watanabe. In UK and Irish cinemas this Friday! Book tickets now: kensukeskingdom.com

Just received these beauties from @TPositiveTC for September 😁

@TPositiveTC just received our staff marking and feedback records for next year. Stunning! 😁

Thank you @LeedsSLS for advice on novels for Faster Reading project. Y5 and Y6 loved them and increased their reading age by HUGE amounts in 6 weeks just listening to fab stories!! @ccuaceprimary theliteracyleader.com

theliteracyleader.com I trialled Faster Reading with Y5 and Y6. Bliss. High quality novels, longer story-time and amazing impact on reading ages! 23 children increased 1yr+ in 6 weeks listening to fabulous stories, power of listening to a story should never be underestimated!

@smithsmm I just went to order Midnight Treasure as I needed this is my pile immediately, to find I will have to wait until we are back at school! Noooooooo! 😂😂😂 Have pre-ordered.

This is the holiday reading pile… Now where to start?

@stevewalkerlive @dFE Just watched it. Who was the gentleman sitting next to her as he seemed very knowledgeable?

We owe it to them: all our female ancestors who were denied that democratic right. Patriarchal forces still attempt to hold us back by pushing apathy, telling us that “politicians are all the same”. They’re not - and you have the right to choose, to vote from the heart, for our future, for all our children - and to make your voice and your vote count.

@pickard_e @DrLinziLadlow @HWPSLeeds @RachelReevesMP @HAVALeeds @MindMateLeeds @ccuaceprimary We would like to book two places please!

@DrLinziLadlow @HWPSLeeds @RachelReevesMP @HAVALeeds @MindMateLeeds @thelitleader you and your fab team @ccuaceprimary may be interested in seeing some of this research?

Join us for an exhibition showcasing the experiences of young parent families with a display of photographs, artwork and stories created by children and their parents who are supported by @HWPSLeeds There will be cake! RSVP on here or email lladlow@lincoln.ac.uk
