Morning everyone! I've been sharing the graphic novels we love in my classroom over the past few Mondays and I thought I'd take the time to share stand alone graphic novels we love and have gone mad over. *** DOODLEVILLE – CHAD SELL Drew is just a regular artist.

November in books!

December 1, 2021November 28, 2021Leave a comment

Good morning everyone!  It's the first of December! Therefore it's time to look back on what I read in November. We're getting to the exhausted and it's always dark time of year... so maybe not reading as much as I'd want (but honestly, sometimes, looking after my mental health looks like NOT reading). IN OCTOBER, … Continue reading November in books!

Morning everyone! Last week, I posted the first in a series of posts about books that my kids are loving - with a focus primarily on graphic novels.

November 10, 2021November 7, 2021Leave a comment

As a big reader, I am a massive massive fan of encouraging my children to think about what they're reading and reflecting on it. One of the things that I inherited when I moved into Year 6 almost 2 years ago was reading journals and I have embraced them fully, but also changed their use! … Continue reading Classroom fun: reading journals!

Guided reading – it’s not all about questions!

October 18, 2021October 17, 2021Leave a comment

I'm a massive fan of teaching guided reading (in facct, besides Maths, it's actually my favourite thing to teach). Finding that book that just ignites the passion and love in a class is exceptional. I'm also incredibly lucky to work in a school where my opinion matters and they trust that what I'm teaching is … Continue reading Guided reading – it’s not all about questions!

September in books

October 5, 2021October 3, 2021Leave a comment

Good morning everyone!  It’s finally time to share what I read in September. And I'm going to be honest here. In September, I really struggled to get into the groove of reading. My brain was so full of WORKWORKWORKWORK and SAD that I just couldn't. It's not because I don't have books to read (I … Continue reading September in books
