Check out this concentration during our @harrietmuncaster.bsky.social workshop today. Year 3 are Big Isadora Moon fans!

Our young people have real vision for the future and I want to see them enabled to bring change in our city - so it was great to welcome a group from St Barnabas to Parliament! www.worcesternews.co.uk/news/2491932... @stbarnabas.bsky.social

An amazing day with our historians @ukparliament.parliament.uk What a brilliant opportunity to see Oracy and Democracy in action. We’re inspired @voice21oracy.bsky.social @worcesternews.bsky.social

Great to have @AntClerici in school this morning to launch the @Bikesummit design competition. @BikeWorcester you should see our designs!! #BikeSummit

Absolutely adored this prequel to “When the Sky Falls” “The Dawn of Adonis” by @philearle.bsky.social is a truly brilliant breathless run across London as Nettie and Toff flee with the baby Adonis from Goliath Deeds, one of the most terrifying villains I’ve come across in any children’s book. Fab!

Our Ofsted report is out today. We are very proud of our school community. Have a read on our website. st-barnabas-primary.worcs.sch.uk

Back to doing school visits this week and loving it! Being a children’s author is such a gorgeous job. I got asked this week what i would tell my 8 year old self and what’s my favourite thing about story writing, among a zillion other fabulous questions.

“Ten-Word Tiny Tales of Love” by #JosephCoelho and friends is a wonderful beautiful and creative book. The tales are an amazing collaboration between word and art. Full of brilliant visual storytelling and wordplay. An amazing resource to get children thinking and writing. #PictureBookPage …

TEACHERS: In need of some fun, FREE poems? You'll find plenty on my website - www.joshuaseigal.co.uk - including one of my best known poems, below. Might be handy for #WorldBookDay! Enjoy. #BookSky #EduSky #poetrycommunity @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social

We are very proud to have been awarded the Equal Access trophy for our work on girls’ football. Check out this group of future Lionesses celebrating @worcesternews @England @EnglandFootball @Lionesses #thisgirlcan

Sorry, but I really hope people who love THE WILD ROBOT movie know it was inspired by my book. It's mentioned in the credits but most people don't read that stuff. If you love the movie you should check out the book! There's more to the story and it's a quick read.

Brand new books for children from Barrington Stoke to get 2025 off to a great start for budding bookworms Something for everyone by Vashti Hardy, @gill-lewis.bsky.social and Jenny Pearson #UKKidLit alibrarylady.blog/2025/01/02/n...

This is a bit special. The perfect combination of words and illustration from @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social and Benjamin Phillips. Thank you for adding something so important to our Year 6 reading.

Our @opal-cic.bsky.social playtimes have transformed play filter at school. Children choose and it’s leading to lovely friendships and happy smiles!

No 7 in my #FavePicturebooks24 is… “The Last Zookeeper” by @storybreathing. The visual storytelling in this book is utterly extraordinary, it’s rich in pathos and emotion without a single word. A modern day Noah’s Ark. A Magical #WordlessWonder. #PicturebookPage

Our #DailyMileSantaRun was a blast yesterday @worcesternews.bsky.social

What a night at the National Teaching Awards. Massive congratulations to our silver award winning Headteacher.

Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER! #literacy #libraries #librarians

No 21 in my #FavePicturebooks24 is… “DRAWN O NWARD” by #DanielNayeri and #MattRockefeller. From the title to the words to the journey it is a palindrome. It beautifully explores a young boy’s grief, its visual storytelling is amazing. Stunning and emotional. #PicturebookPage

It is the Worcestershire Debating Competition at school tomorrow with our local MP, City Mayor and the CEO of Voice 21 as judges. It’s going to be BIG! #Oracy #UKParliamentWeek

Well that was fun! Such unbridled joy from adults and children.

Uk Parliament Week gives us the perfect opportunity to really showcase our #oracy skills. Looking forward to the Worcestershire Debating Competition and a whole school Parliament later in the week. @kateparadine.bsky.social

UK Parliament Week incoming. We’re hosting the Worcestershire Debating Competition- it’s going to be a good one. #Oracy #Debating #EduSky

I'm going to set up a starter pack for 'People who are experts in Oracy (and not just jumping on a bandwagon)' shortly. I need to convince a couple of people over here from twitter too! Let me know if you are highly skilled in dialogic and exploratory talk and how.

Hello Bluesky people…our first post. Happy to be here. #Education #Teaching #Firstpost #Newbies
