As ever, completely blown away by how Dr Teresa Cremin inspires. Her reading of The Beautiful Voice reminds us of the importance of being a championing teacher who nurtures and motivates all ideas from all of our young writers. "Children's identities matter." 👏 #writingmatters
There’s no better way to spend a 'KIT' day, during maternity leave, than watching my amazing colleagues, alongside a host of inspiring speakers, deliver the National Primary English Conference. The day is kicking off with an insightful session from Dr Tim Mills! #writingmatters

We’ve started using HfL Essential Writing this year & love it! Big focus on audience & purpose, written & spoken models, progresses really well and children have engaged brilliantly with it. The lesson plans are detailed but with enough scope to adapt to your class needs ☺️

Teaching reading at KS1 requires a balanced approach, and a rich and varied reading diet.
