This is a golden age of children's literature. There are books being published today that will shape the minds of generations; life-changing books whose readers will change the world. There really is a book for EVERYONE now - if we can just help every reader find those books!

'Rocking Reindeer' is still one of my most popular Christmas project ideas . . . one paper plate, no leftovers, no waste. 👍 *sound up, the music is even in time. 😆 darrellwakelam.com

Honestly @PieCorbett’s talk for writing, mixed with #colourfulsemantics is saving my class in terms of writing. You CANNOT write a sentence until you’ve heard it in your head. You need to compose it. We all do it, every day. Children need to be taught it. #oracymatters

@jonnybid That really is extraordinary. I wouldn't know how to advise her on moving forwards from there with art, but I would definitely encourage her to keep drawing whatever she wants to draw - and congratulate her on this brilliant piece!

I have a pupil in my class (Year 6) who did this in about ten minutes. She's massively talented. Some ideas about how to help her move forward would be very much appreciated. Art isn't really my speciality.

Each week, our Year 5/6 Reading Buddies go and read empathy-rich picturebooks and talk about empathy with pupils in EYFS and KS1. Between them, they've created a bank of 20 questions to use as a starting point. Please feel free to download from my Padlet. padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/rea…

No. 16 in my #FavePicturebooks25: “Astro” by #ManuelMarsol. A surreal space tale of friendship, loss, and wonder—psychedelic art meets cosmic questions. Achingly beautiful and deeply human. A true wonder that remains long after you close the book #PicturebookPage

@smithsmm You may well have a problem, I'm afraid. But the good news is this: being the only one with this problem is definitely not your problem!
