Just back from a fabulous first trip to York - great time sightseeing, thinking about story telling, getting creative writing inspiration and visiting the home of the Brontes.

Fantastic start to the week yesterday @Linlithgow_Acad #YPI showcase. 4 teams gave passionate, creative pitches with strong business cases, making it a tough choice for the judges who deliberated hard before agreeing on the winner! Congratulations to everyone involved.

Say hello to another Penguin vending machine πŸ‘‹ Secondary-school students at Linlithgow Academy now have access to over 70 different titles from our #LitinColour reading lists, via their new vending machine! Linlithgow Academy was picked from over 800 applications from schools across the UK, and it's hoped the vending machine will contribute to the school’s love of reading by making books more accessible and diversifying the range of titles available πŸ“šβœ¨ The machine is free to use and will be managed by teachers via a token system. With iconic titles from authors like Salman Rushdie, Toni Morrison, and Arundhati Roy, it will help students discover more brilliant books by authors of colour 🧑 Take a look at the #LitinColour reading lists >> lnkd.in/eQ8q-vjQ #books #reading #schools #teacher #englishliterature #education #publishing #library #PenguinBooks
