So lovely to see Grangehurst Primary, Coventry adopting the ‘Bring and Brag’ style of book-looks between staff. A great way to share and celebrate each year group’s achievements in writing so far this year! #TeachThroughaText @literacytree.bsky.social

Our #WorkingWall of the week comes from Hope + Edale Primaries, Derbyshire. Teachers used our Mixed Age Planning suggestions to adapt our resource for their Yr 4-6 class. Working Walls can can be especially transformative in mixed age settings, freeing up teachers to work closely with more children.
