My mother taught me to read but, every Saturday morning, my father would read me a chapter of a Narnia book which made them all the more special. My father's long gone now but I still have the books and the memories. I think my favourite is The Silver Chair. Which is yours?

Just FYI, children don’t have to master transcription before they can start developing their compositional skills.
In fact both benefit from each other’s development 👇

Anti-Bullying Week is right around the corner, and this year’s theme is “Choose Respect” 🫡 When disputes arise among children, insults and rudeness can sometimes follow 🤬 and it’s vital for us to show them a better way.

Creativity is essential to growing a society that can think; the arts are essential to a society that flourishes. No wonder so many children are miserable; the arts are an essential part of being human. Schools without the arts are heartless places - just dust on the wind.
We welcome the acknowledgement by the Education Secretary (@bphillipsonMP) about the lack of access to arts education in state schools & look forward to this critical issue being addressed.
Join us in campaigning until the arts are accessible to all: campaignforthearts.org/join/
