Another top entry from @jonnybid.bsky.social in the Union magazine. I always read Survivors as part of transition and it always goes down a storm. Even the boy who fainted one year still loved the book!

Two top additions to the collection courtesy of the brilliant OK comics. Not a bad way to follow up a blistering show from Power Trip & Pantera.

I love the work of Helen Rutter and grew up adoring choose your own adventure books, so this is a match made in heaven! Definitely solves the dilemma of what we are going to read as a class next half term.

@authorfy.bsky.social is such a wonderful resource. Creating mythical creatures was made much easier thanks to the @jennymclachlan.bsky.social masterclass. Being able to show them how a published author approaches it was so empowering and took away a lot of fear!

Genuinely can’t keep a copy of Unico on the shelf for more than ten seconds across all of year six at the minute. It’s brilliant blend of action and manga inspired aesthetic are a huge win. Grab a copy here and finds lots of other big hits for the classroom: uk.bookshop.org/lists/great-...

If you haven’t read any of the series yet then you are missing out. Children love it, but it has plenty to enjoy as an adult too and it will take you on a true rollercoaster of emotions.

Really enjoyed delivering a session about graphic novels for @wensumenglishhub.bsky.social this afternoon. It's great to see that they've become far more valued in schools over recent years as there's so much that they can offer. #graphicnovels

Fantastic talk from @teresacremin.bsky.social about how to ensure everyone is given a chance to thrive with reading. So much to think about and so many ways we can support pupils. Looking forward to what @charliehacking.bsky.social has to say about poetry next.

Had two pupils from last year come back to visit after school and one of the first topics they started discussing was what we read in year 6. Lots of it focused on their love of Bumble and Snug @markbradley.bsky.social . Followed by plenty of gossip about who’s getting told off of course!

Loved this sequel and really hoping there’s more to come from Squire. Definitely a good choice for UKS2 and a must if you have the first.

Had a blast with this title and know it would be greatly received in any secondary library. The start of a promising new series and one that definitely twists the usual stories set in this universe. Grab a copy here uk.bookshop.org/lists/great-...

I often forget how lucky I am to live so close to the coast. Best way to start the day.

A year's worth of picturebook assembly suggestions that have a focus on diversity, equality, inclusion and empathy. Hopefully it's of use, even to just dip into occasionally. The link is here: padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/r... #edusky

Brutal and brilliant as always from @jamesthefourth.bsky.social . Another triumph and another layer of depth added to such a rich universe. I need more!

Was not ready for this absolutely wild ride! A book all about friendship and being nice, but set in a world that mixes bits of Star Wars, Dune and Mad Max. Great fun and one that’s going to be popular with KS2 I think.

Final few arrivals for the class library Christmas update, had to sneak in the latest slaughter book for myself. Definitely going to dig into kingdom riders myself first before anyone gets their hands on it.

The beauty of buying everyone their Christmas presents from Waterstones is that you then get it but loads of books and they’re free! Picked up this little haul and used some inspiration from @mrs-primary.bsky.social and @teresacremin.bsky.social . Just not sure where to start!

Picked up a few new additions today while out and about. Beneath the trees feels like it would be right up your street @mrs-primary.bsky.social
