Such a joy to work online with 3000+ children from across the UK to celebrate World Book Day! We had the best time writing + performing our very own nonsense poems! Well done the children who performed their poems in front of such a big audience- that is BRAVE! #PrimaryRocks

2 fantastic days of poetry fun completed at St Werburgh & St Columba’s RC Primary in Chester! Talented children and super friendly staff- they even fed me a delicious spaghetti bolognaise school dinner- I’m so happy (and full!) #PrimaryRocks

3 miles long and a mile wide Alderney has around 2000 residents and is a very beautiful island in the English Channel. I’m so lucky to have been invited here today to work with their school, St Anne’s which is the only school on the island. #alderney #channelislands

This is insanity, corruption, & capitulation, a total betrayal of American values & interests. Rubio, Kellogg, anyone on Trump's foreign policy team who pretends to represent the US instead of Russia must resign & speak out. GOP legislators must stand up or be shamed & defeated.
