So lovely to see Grangehurst Primary, Coventry adopting the ‘Bring and Brag’ style of book-looks between staff. A great way to share and celebrate each year group’s achievements in writing so far this year! #TeachThroughaText @literacytree.bsky.social

Today has been a jam packed day: looking at book recommendations, working on guidance notes and reflection points for our Writing Root on Stonewall by Rob Sanders #TeachThroughaText and writing blog content!
