Primary languages do matter. We all need to do our bit to find out what primary children are doing, how they can be advanced in the early years of secondary, and how we can do the usual in an unusual way in Year 7 to cover the basics but in a new and more mature context.
Who's with me?

I blog and post frequently about what I do in the primary classroom, but these posts meet with very little interaction and interest, especially from secondary teachers. Because it's just primary, and it doesn't matter, right?

#mflbluesky After 14 years of teaching in secondary schools and being an AST, I switched to primary language teaching. I'm currently in my 17th year as a primary languages specialist teacher.

What do you get when you cross a peepshow with a petite book? A peti-pshow!

A peepshow, or tunnel book, is a book format that spaces multiple illustrated leaves apart from one another to create an illusion of depth when viewed through a front opening.
A peepshow book depicting a conductor and an orchestra. A peepshow book depicting people in a library. A peepshow book depicting a whale in front of a ship.

That's a bit of a sweeping statement!
