Today is Endangered Species Day. An ideal day to pause and share a thoughtful poem -perhaps: The Pangolin or The Flight of The Last Bee or Plunder the Ocean or To the Hedgehog in my Garden or The Annual General Meeting of Wildlife Representatives (& dozens more) 💚

Enclosed the veggie patch today to give us somewhere to contain the tortoise when we don't fancy having our toes bitten. He escaped within 5 minutes by climbing the rhubarb. 🙄🐢

Unbelievably excited that my first book is charting at 6 in the humorous kids poetry category (amazon). If anyone would like to buy a copy to help propel me to number 1, I would be so grateful. 🥰

He does love dice. He has a special holder that he designed and made himself! I think you're right- I need to find a very unique set.

Never had a geek line before. Definitely what being in your 40s is about. I really appreciate it. The games you've recommended have all been brilliant.

@nexpro.bsky.social does anyone else on here ask you for as much help as me?? 😆.... I need a suggested small gift for a MASSIVE D&D fan who has a great deal of D&D stuff. Any thoughts? X

This is a hard one to explain… “Sylvester’s Letter” by #MatthewBurgess and #JoshCorcoran is what I can only describe as an utterly joyful book about loss, remembering and love. It’s vibrant, it pops, the felt tip Art is wonderful, it celebrates the memory and the person. Stunning. #picturebookPage

My heart just breaks for those who knew and loved this magnificent Oak. If such an ancient tree has no protection in law, what hope have we for the rest of Nature? I can't understand how anyone involved in arboriculture would agree to be involved in such a crime. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Thank you very much. Yes she has loved the books. She usually just reads at bedtime / car journeys but she was reading Barb the moment she woke up and an any opportunity! I will look into the ones you suggested. Much appreciated.

Jules @tortoise1hare2.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

My daughter (8) has just demolished the Barb the Brave series. It was brilliant to see. Do you have a recommendation for follow-up? Thank you

Love seeing what the kids get up to on the days we aren't out and about during hols. Look at this setup! I can't think of a narrative to tie it all together. They clearly have one. Play is bloody marvellous!

Zombie game is great. Really brilliant how the difficulty level can increase so much Thank you. And please thank your friend for the suggestion. 🧟‍♂️

Jules @tortoise1hare2.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

I overheard my 4 year old explaining the rules of it to his uncle this weekend. Really joyful. 🥰

Jules @tortoise1hare2.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

I've ordered the zombie game. Considering the candies game too. Really helpful as always.

That's a great idea. Thank you

You're a total 🌟 Thank you.

Jules @tortoise1hare2.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

Thanks very much. Im going to look in to this one. 😊

Jules @tortoise1hare2.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

Actually this could be ideal!

Jules @tortoise1hare2.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

@nexpro.bsky.social hello my inspiring game friend! Do you know of any maths focused games - card or other- which are really addictive and reasonably fast plays? Looking particularly for something suitable for ks2 kids. Thank you. 😊

A friend of mine suggested I should donate to charity any book that had been on my TBR pile longer than 12 months, and I laughed and laughed and now we are no longer friends

My latest article for @neunion.bsky.social Educate magazine is about non-fiction. It's often overlooked when talking about reading in the classroom and it shouldn't be. An exciting non-fiction text can engage readers just as well as any other. @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social @teresacremin.bsky.social

I think everyone who works in a primary school accepts that the curriculum is overloaded. We simply can't squeeze in everything that we're supposed to. However, there are two things that we must ensure take place each day: class storytime and independent reading. They're far too important to drop.

It's really good isn't it? So well done to maintain such pace in first episode with hardly any speaking!

I got vegan hating comments and blocked instantly. These people don't deserve engagement. Sorry you've had a bad experience. Just to balance it- my 3 year old's favourite book (and we have many) is we're going to find the monster. Love your work 💚

For anyone who's read VARJAK PAW and wants to know how it was written - or anyone interested in the #writing process - here's a free resource I made for the British Library, sharing pages from 7 different drafts. You can have a lot of fun showing this to a class! www.sfsaid.com/2024/06/the-...
