We couldn’t wait until after half term (I did try!) or even until Monday. Today, we started our new class reader. One of many joys of teaching Yr 2 is sharing this gem with them. And this year, we even have a whole topic based on it. How exciting! @chrissiesains.bsky.social

For various reasons, I have found myself in biggest reading slump I’ve ever experienced. For about 4 months, I haven’t finished a book and have dabbled, not invested, in books I’ve tried.
This is it. The book that held my rapt attention and has me eagerly enjoying the secrets unravel.

One of the highlights of the term was reading this so my Yr 2s. As well as being visually stunning and very moving, the looks and gasps of realisation and wonder were an absolute delight. It is my favourite festive read aloud. Thank you for the magic @dc-litchfield.bsky.social

For various reasons, I find myself in the longest reading slump I’ve experienced in years.

What ‘must reads’ of this year might reignite my love of reading?

Earlier in the year, I adored Saffiyah’s War, Turtle Moon and Crossing the Line.
