Can’t believe I have only just got round to reading this treasure of a book. Really highlights the importance of representation in our curriculum. All chn need to see themselves in books and stories we share. @OnjaliRauf

Every month this year, I intend to give away a full class set of one book via @ANewChapterBks - I truly believe a full class set is one of the most valuable resources a teacher can have when teaching reading. No faff to enter, just retweet and consider yourself in. January.

My class really enjoyed Skellig this year. They have written creative backstories to explain how he has wings and ended up in the garage on top of some simple charcoal/watercolour artwork. Really pleased with the outcome.

A magical moment that reminds you why we do this job. We have a new arrival from Syria. When offered to choose a book from our library she would shake her head. We tried picture books, books in Arabic but still met with a head shake. 1/2

2/2 When we asked another child to translate, she said she didn’t have money for books 😢 Her face lit up when it was explained she didn’t have to pay and could borrow any book she wanted 🥺

Lovely but tricky job of choosing this year’s reading ambassadors. 72 applications from years 3-6. Have to pick only 16! They have put so much thought and care into their forms. ❤️ 📚
