My school doesn’t allow dressing up anymore so I compromised with a book-themed staff hat competition! Here’s mine! #worldbookday #aliensloveunderpants

This is beautiful and heartbreaking ❤️

It’s by Cuiwos! Very good instructions and very well made compared to another I have so I really recommend it!

For a detective, Amanda is soooo far off every ball and gunning for Jade for no reason at all big yikes 😳#TheTraitorsUK #Traitors

First finished band? I attempted to follow a 5th century Finnish pattern by Shelagh Lewins. Nonsense to begin with but finally did get the pattern in the second half 😅 #tabletweaving #weaving #fibrearts #crafts

#newyear project: teaching myself tablet weaving with a tiny children’s loom and pokemon cards.

Uh tip for booklovers: don’t put your salt lamp on top of a book, even if you have it on a plate/dish. 😳😩😭 #books #whoopsy

Whoops I forgot Bluesky existed for a while. Anyway, allow me to return with pics of the #booknook my mum got me for christmas which I spent the four days after joyfully building 🥰

Exclusive: David Walliams dropped by publisher over inappropriate behaviour towards women Telegraph investigation into best-selling children’s author uncovers claims that he ‘harassed’ junior female employees at Harper Collins

Every time there's a breaking story about a celeb's treatment of women, everyone in the book world asks, "Is it finally Walliams?" Well, it finally is.

The cover of Loki A Bad God's Guide To Being Good by Louie Stowell, with an orange cover, a black circle surrounded by runes with horns, and lots of pictures such as a devil, a snake, a hammer, a sword, a chicken, a house, a pencil, a book

For anyone who may be hastily returning certain books they bought as Christmas presents, here's a thread of excellent children's books I highly recommend you buy instead:

Loki A Bad God's Guide To Being Good by Louie Stowell

Funny, chaotic and a little bit naughty
okay, a lot naughty

Never felt like a meaner dog owner than when the clocks changed and now my dog is forced to wait an extra hour for dinner, every single day, for reasons he cannot ever comprehend.

Important piece from @booktrust.org.uk and @openuni-rfp.bsky.social about the value of book choice for pupils and how to help promote it in the classroom. Do have a read! files.booktrust.org.uk/docs/documen... @teresacremin.bsky.social @richardruddick.bsky.social

Katherine Rundell on, "understanding the pedagogical value of fart jokes;" and so much more. Well worth a read.

Have you ever seen a wren have a bath? No? Nor had I till just now. Filmed through a rain-spotted window & on my phone, so not perfect, but hope it brings you a spot of delight nonetheless 🪶

Yuppp! 🫣

It’s made me very aware ever since of how alienating and confusing a lot of Christian jargon is, even the stuff directed at non&new Christians, and the survey responses went on to inform how that church directed things like Alpha courses which was great.

One of the most eye-opening things my church youth group ever did was give us a few words/phrases (mine were ‘salvation’, ‘grace’, and ‘recieve Christ’) commonly used in churches, and go out and ask random people on the streets for their definitions and feelings about them.

The @theclpe.bsky.social Reflecting Realities report is an essential read each year. Please share it with colleagues in schools and look at the books currently available to pupils. They deserve authentic representation in the books they find on the classroom shelves. clpe.org.uk/research/clp...

My latest article for Educate magazine is all about how children choose books. It was inspired by this wonderful blog from David Reedy and Alice Reedy: collins.co.uk/blogs/the-bo...

This is so true. 99% of book bans have the intended effect: you never hear about those books again. The 1% of banned books that become infamous bestsellers elsewhere are not the norm.

I’ve applied to 12 different schools in the last 3 months and not even got a single interview. I feel so hopeless atm that nobody will even give me a chance, I just want to teaaach 😩😭 #teaching #primaryteacher #covidmessedupmyPGCEsighhh

Hosted my first in-person author visit and book fair this week. Great to see so many kids get excited about books! Ele Fountain is awesome, folks! ☺️ #schoollibrary #authors #kidlit

What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders?

It is good and proper in a well-kept library to dispose of books.

Commenting just to share the dog snoot yep 😅

😂 such a mood tho

I’ve been weaving on circle looms for several months now so just had a go at doing a tiny dorset button ☺️

I dunno why I’m so upset but the F1 minifigure car I bought on a whim in Lidl is missing a wheel centre and 😩

Sky over water 🥰
