The stage is set for the most marvellous day @poetrybyheart.bsky.social at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre.

How to get your Y6 class to invest in shared glue stick ownership… they are a fair bit excited that I’m getting training from Matt Goodfellow @theclpe.bsky.social tomorrow.

First poem of the year for the lunch hall.

Are the festive preparations getting too much? Take a break to listen to Freya, Grace and Eleanor perform the poem Help Wanted by Timothy Tocher. It's certain to put a smile on your face! #Poetry #Christmas Plenty more where that came from too! poetrybyheart.org.uk/news/merry-c...

Thank you Sofia and Fatima for this lovely performance of little tree by E.E. Cummings. ❤️

Why read books? Because reading opens minds & hearts. It helps us imagine different lives and different worlds; it can help us build a better world. So please keep reading books with kids, and encouraging them to read. There is nothing more important. #literacy #books #reading

I don't believe in "good reading" & "bad reading". Comic books, graphic novels, manga, picture books, joke books, sports reports, all kinds of poetry & prose: it's all reading, and it's all good! Let kids read for pleasure - and they'll be readers FOREVER! #reading #literacy

🔊 Our 7th annual #ReflectingRealities report is out now! This year’s report shows a significant drop in the presence of racially minoritised characters in books published for children in 2023 in the UK.

A truly glorious day @theclpe.bsky.social with the very wonderful @whatsfsaid.bsky.social discussing all things primary reading and how to champion it.
