@KateClanchy1 was given your amazing book by a colleague and it’s such a good resource, thank you for inspiring me in my teaching practice 🙏🏻 I’m hoping for some great work from my students ✍🏻@LargsEnglish
Great poetry exercise
Great poetry exercise
Janet wrote this in year five - spent an afternoon on it - totally independent choice - one if the strangest and most powerful children’s poems - haunting.
Mariia is from Ukraine, near Dnipro. The news sent me back to the poem she wrote last term @EMBScollege .
Estefania is 17 and from East Timor. Like many refugees from that country, she came to the UK alone. This is her poem for her father.

Hurrah!
I'm thrilled that my adaptation of Enduring Love for @BBCRadio4 was part of Flarepath Productions Silver Award @NYFRadioAwards.
@KateClanchy1 @BBCRadio4 @NYFRadioAwards Yes. It's the interplay between the two men - Joe and Jed(?) that I recall - perhaps inaccurately - as being really menacing. One stalking the other who is, maybe, a bit psychotic? I'll know better when I've listened to your adaptation. Just remember it as being disturbing 🤔
Powerful! To book mark
