Unseen poetry time! Listen on your usual podcast app or here: tinyurl.com/y5nu2kfz There are two handouts: one on how to analyse poetry (tinyurl.com/yyu54szr); and another with a question on Carol Ann Duffy and a cheeky bit of Robbie Burns (tinyurl.com/y5fujhah).

@shadylady222 has done amazing things with her action research into PEE( and ditching it)- students targeted 3/4 attained grade 7s. Check out the presentation when it’s shared after #EducatingNorthants to see the examples. This woman is doing fantastic things for her students. 🤩
