I am completely and utterly bouncing off the walls, tickled pink, kid in a candy store excited to share the cover for BEASTOPIA!
Beastopia has been a bit of a passion project, and I love it so much! Can’t wait to share more about it over the next few months!
Pre-orders open!

Super excited that Chapter One of my new book, 'Beastopia' is now available to download on my website! Check it out peeps!
Teacher resources will soon be following too!
I've been a little quiet here lately, but behind the scenes I’ve been busier than an elf at Christmas! 🎄✨ Final checks on Beastopia are now complete, the website update is well underway, and teacher resource packs are in the works!

If it's helpful, even though you're (probably) on holidays, I am resharing the very long blog I wrote about how we teach Whole Class Reading at our school. We have really fluent children who love reading and I've tried to break it down as much as possible.

Hurrah!
As part of a local art project, each child was asked for the title of their favourite book. These are my Yr 2’s choices.
What is evident here, is the power of class readers in exposing readers to new texts (and a real passion for AitJF @CRSains!)
World book week went by in a blur of trains and school visits. This year I tried to keep a note of small things that I enjoyed as the week went on.
Thanks so much to everyone who welcomed me or dressed up as one of my characters - you had me smiling all week.

Every time you encourage a child to read a book, you will change their lives - sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. But child by child, book by book, we can change the world. Children who read become adults who think - and will build a world that’s better for EVERYONE. #literacy
Well this has made my day!
Happy World Book Day! Today's costume was inspired by Scooter McLay from the fantastic Alien in a Jam factory series by @CRSains. Say hi to Fizzbee 👋🏾

We couldn’t wait until after half term - or even until Monday. Today we started our new class reader. Sharing this masterpiece has to be one of the best parts about teaching Year 2. What a joy!
