So true - what Ana Sampson says here: "For readers intimidated by a whole book, poetry can expand their imaginations and vocabularies in small, easy steps. Pick up a poem, and you’re on the road to raising a reader." childrenspoetrysummit.com/2025/11/06/ana…

🎇Anyone planning firework writing? I always warm up with firework actions to spark ideas & enthusiasm, so thought I'd share this morning's quick practice in case handy for anyone (please excuse background mess!). Forgot to include Catherine wheels - like spin dryers!

Next week I’ll travel back 110 years to a Canadian farmhouse with the kids at my Remembrance Day workshops. We’ll knit socks (with pencils), grow potatoes, and write poems for the boys overseas. I’m looking forward to the trip. 🇨🇦

📚🚸Today is National Young Readers' Day, so - noses into books, kids! Or snuggle up close to whoever may be reading to you! There's plenty to choose from... Sitting comfortably?

💨Funny how some things catch on against the odds! My little rhyme 'The Wind' is one of those, always getting top views on my channel despite muzzy sound and one still image! But tonight it has the real wind of Storm Claudia to spin with! Take care all! youtube.com/shorts/rqfhv0S…

🤸🏻‍♂️Tomorrow I shall be leading children in 4 types of firework actions, ending with blast-off from all-4s. And that's just for starters... Flattest-heeled shoes at the ready! Gymnastics lesson? Drama? Keep fit...?? Poetry of course!

🎄Not sure what the animals think of Santa, stepping on their greenery there - but anyway, here's a festive squeaky poster for any mums, dads, grandparents, aunties, uncles, godparents, neighbours, book club friends, colleagues... who may be interested this Christmas -

What a mix of approaches to winter! Thanks v. much for including my silly foggy one, Brian. Interesting so many hate winter. I rather like it (with enough clothes on).
