Hello! Some of you may know me from Teach Primary...
I'm now Content Manager at plazoom.com, and editor of Teach Reading & Writing magazine. Hoping to find lots of primary literacy chat on here.
The latest issue of TRW is out now - you can flip through a virtual mag at tinyurl.com/tp-TRW.
Hurrah! Such a gorgeous book.
If you want to read it with your class we have a book topic on it here: www.teachwire.net/teaching-res...

Last share for this before the new term.

A weekly picturebook assembly overview which focuses on empathy and inclusion. It's still evolving but please feel free to download and adapt. All shares appreciated. The link is on my Padlet: padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/r...

I help run a MAT book club where teachers from each of the 5 schools meets half-termly to discuss 2 texts. Here are my initial choices for next year but I'm very open to suggestions or recommendations! @teresacremin.bsky.social @richardruddick.bsky.social @jonnybid.bsky.social @smithsmm.bsky.social

I enjoy reading children's books and choose to do so. Not all school staff have the time or inclination but they do need to know about them. Having a couple of staff meetings each year with time to explore picturebooks, poetry and graphic novels could make a world of difference in the classroom.

Had an interesting time at #MATPN Midlands over the last two days. Lots of practical talk around the possibilities and limitations of AI, and some thought-provoking presentations touching on school culture, wellbeing, and how MATs can collaborate to drive change.

Just a plea to use alt text.

It's not only important for inclusion but it's actually a great way to add interesting detail to your posts.

You're also way more likely to get reposted if you use it because people here like to encourage this stuff. 🙏
