Which do you like best? Which makes you smile? Which fills you with surprise, joy and wonder? Which will your students pick on Thursday and what will it prompt them to write about themselves? Don’t be left out or leave out your students! Join the excitement on @poetrydayuk.bsky.social

I don't regret leaving Muskland, but one thing I used to get over on X is work opportunities. Not so much over here. SO, if you or someone you know might need a fun performance poet for the coming term (workshops, keynotes, etc),PLEASE get in touch. Email on website www.joshuaseigal.co.uk pls share

Two books that have come my way recently and which I'm looking forward to reading. At first glance,Sarah’s looks just the kind of book that will go down brilliantly with KS2 children, and I know that I'll be taking @carolebromley.bsky.social ’s book with me when I next visit York.
