Excellent chat with Chris Arnold from the BBC! I’ve earned a ‘regular contributor’ badge for his show 😊
Interview goes out next week; we talk about writing for kids, love of reading, & the wonderful poetry online nowadays. I got a big plug in for the Dirigible Balloon @northernjim.bsky.social 👍

It’s almost time for the Summer Reading Challenge! Please join me in Oxfordshire’s libraries for some rhyming fun and word games.
The theme is ‘Story Garden’ so here is a little rhyme to get us started …📚🌳

With rage, instability, and worry sweeping across the world, it’s comforting to know that poetry still engages.

I opened a school library, had 3 poems selected for The Dirigible Balloon @northernjim.bsky.social and spent a wonderful day with 200 children talking about poems and words this week. ❤️

Delighted to take poetry to beautiful Aston and Cote Primary School today and to open their amazing new library! Walk through the wardrobe and into a world of imagination.
Very happy to donate two books; Amazing Albert by me & Sky Surfing by @northernjim.bsky.social at The Dirigible Balloon. Awesome

These are Silly Sentences; a much loved game at my Active Poetry sessions.
Components of a sentence are mixed up then reassembled by the children. As bonkers as possible please!
Easy to do and a great idea if you home-school. Go further by getting the kids to write a back story for each sentence!

Congratulations to these little poets! The re opening of Lechlade library was a great success thanks to the warmth, humour and National Treasure-ness of Pam Ayres.
She read out one of my poems.
I’ll say that again… PAM AYRES read out my poem!
