Thanks Claire @greenshawtrust.bsky.social for asking me to speak in Gloucestershire today! It was a privilege to give the key-note and engage with so many teachers opening doors for their budding writers.

How fantastic! ✨️

So much joy and enthusiasm @thinktalkleah.bsky.social. So many celebrations also from their previous sessions with you!👏🏼✨️✍️❤️📖

✨️ What a wonderful day spent continuing to "open the door" at Richmond Hill Primary Academy!
📖💡❤️ This was the hub's 3rd session out of 5 and the focus was on creative non-fiction. Ideas were plentiful.
👀 Take a look!

That’s great to hear! We all look forward to hearing from the pupils and seeing their writing. Exciting times! @openingdoors.bsky.social @thinktalkleah.bsky.social @crownhousepub.bsky.social @lauraspargo.bsky.social

We have purchased this and our KS1 team are very excited! It also helps us with our 'wings to fly' providing a helpful scaffold for how we can develop great sequences of learning with beautiful and ambitious text! I'll be sure to capture some pupil voice and writing for you 🥰

Oh how exciting @shellygeeson.bsky.social Can't wait to hear about the sequences in action! ✍️❤️✨️

Oh no, so sorry to hear this. Hope that you're able to ease back into school-life gently... and that the madness of Christmas isn't too challenging! More than happy to patiently wait for a sneak peek of fabulous writing! ✨️❤️✍️

Isn't it just! And the teacher who recognised Metamorphosis from just the slither of text is currently teaching in Year 1! Ready to inspire the younger generations ✨️🪲
