Really enjoyed this debut poetry collection by Julie Hare @tortoise1hare2.bsky.social. Loved the environmental theme running through the book. My class have already dipped into it several times for Poem of the Day. @redgierob.bsky.social
🚨 FREE RESOURCE ALERT 🚨 A task to send home to encourage reading over the half-term. The children could bring it back completed to discuss the books that they have read.
I believe this is why we should encourage our children to write as often as possible. They may not be inspired every day, but as this quote attributed to Picasso implies, when inspiration strikes, they need to be writing in order to capture it.
By incorporating film and animation into the curriculum, educators can stimulate discussion and inspire written expression.
As educators, it is crucial to respect and integrate this aspect of their home literacy rather than perpetuating a dichotomy that positions screens as inferior to books.
