All ordered or preordered via @wonderlandbookshop.bsky.social today thank you.

@clairelinney.bsky.social I loved Time Tub Travellers and passed it on to my wife who is now going to use it with her class considering it is much more interesting, inspiring and relevant than the text they were going to use. Thank you and @wonderlandbookshop.bsky.social who recommended it.

Busy creating comprehension questions and a set of escape room challenges based on the text. Happy to email once done.

Well @barringtonstoke.bsky.social AdelAIDE Just wants to help by @melindasalisbury.com was fab and I can’t wait to use it in class and share with colleagues when I do my AI workshops as it’s so relevant. Looking forward to picking up the other two related texts from @wonderlandbookshop.bsky.social

Picked up this intriguing text alongside a fantastic range of books at @wonderlandbookshop.bsky.social today. Even though I have only just started it, there are so many ideas for teacher resources because it is such an important theme. Are there any resources available @barringtonstoke.bsky.social ?
