Thanks to everyone who has shared this! Let's push back against the idea that emergent writing is not necessary. ☺️
Since the DfE's new writing framework seriously downplays the importance of emergent writing, I'm giving away a free copy of my book on mark making because it 100% *does* matter! ☺️

Like and repost to enter. Winner announced next Thursday. #EduSky #giveaway #freebie

Simply brilliant concert. All the children in the hall were captivated. Stunning. And the pictures were raffled for charity. The orchestra was fab.

#EduSky the 👑 of cardboard has arrived! Really really recommend following @darrellwakelam.bsky.social if you haven't come across him before.
Hi Darrell 👋🏻☺️
Time to start over I guess. 🙂 Hi, I'm Darrell. I make stuff, mainly out of things you'd normally throw away. I work with children and young people, lots of them. I make 3D artwork, mainly in schools . . . and I make sculptures myself, share them online, and hopefully inspire others to have a go. 👍
