I'm so proud of the @leaftrust.bsky.social moderation team. They ran all of the Y1-Y6 moderation sessions last week using our new exemplification materials; supported 140 teachers & had amazing feedback. 👏 There's a real buzz about writing across the Trust. It's so exciting seeing it develop.☺️

What a great start to our #LiteratureFestival this morning. Over 4000 children in our launch assembly; bookmark & story competition winners announced; winning stories read aloud and a host of exciting reading events shared. It's going to be a fun-packed couple of weeks! @leaftrust.bsky.social #RfP

I took a bit of an unintended Bluesky hiatus over xmas (the time just seemed to disappear!) but look what Santa brought me! I fear he's going to have to bring more bookshelves next year! 🙈😂

Right...I have a new stash of Nespresso pods and a whole day - let's see how close I can get to finishing this! I'm writing our @leaftrust.bsky.social exemplificatio materials for Y1-Y5, showing the journey through the year for a pupil who just reached EXS. Y3 & Y4 are done...☺️

All my absolute favourite at one point. Read & re-read by torchlight - it's no wonder I'm so short-sighted! 🙈 None of the film/TV adaptations lived up to the books!

Oh dear...think I may have to wait a while!

Impossible to choose a favourite but these come pretty close. I love @rovinacai.bsky.social's illustrations & #BookIslandBooks are always brilliant.
