Back again. Being a Patron of Reading is a huge privilege, but when your school, @carclaze, has this on the doorstep, there really is icing on the top of your cake!

Fantastic day for a wonderful May Fair. We are here until 3pm Cornwall Education Learning Trust

Carclaze Primary ReadingRocks Cornwall Education Learning Trust Bloomsbury Kids & YA UK Thank you Simon and Carclaze it was a brilliant day 🐸📚🐸

What a great start to the term as Sarah Tagholm paid a visit to launch her book We are the Wibbly all about the life cycle of a frog. We had such fun joining in and drawing along with illustrator Jane McGuinness

We are very excited to welcome Sarah Tagholm and ReadingRocks as the first stop on the We are the Wibbly Tour. What a great treat for the first day of the Summer Term!

Tired but happy. Well over a 100 parents came to the Carclaze Primary Poetry Parade yesterday. Such joy to see them wandering around outside the hall afterwards, reading the poems written by their children. (In the Parade they presented the poems by poets that had inspired their poems)

Such amazing feedback today from all the pupils and teachers from Carclaze who attended. Well done Penrice Academy Cornwall Education Learning Trust

We had such a fantastic day with our Patron of Reading today. Thank you Coral Rumble for the inspiration and guidance

We are so excited that our Patron of Reading Coral Rumble is visiting today. Coral will work with Years 3,4 and 5 and the day will end with a poetry parade for parents at 2.40! #readingforpleasure #writingforpleasure

It is #WorldPoetryDay but we should really be celebrating poetry every day in schools. There's a write-up on the Reading for Pleasure 🧶 site about how to introduce #PoemOfTheDay to a class. Once it's embedded, it basically runs itself. ourfp.org/eop/poem-of-th…

Really excited about tomorrow

We are so excited that Ed will be joining us this June. Follow us for all the ticket news

Roald Dahl HQ ✏️ Eoin Colfer You can read more about why I think having fun with writing and reading is so important for kids here - open.substack.com/pub/naomijones…

We finished by playing with words and making poems from chopped up words and on pages torn out from Matilda by Roald Dahl HQ ✏️ and Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer (I’ve never torn pages from a book before and it felt all kids of WRONG but the kids LOVED this exercise which made it ok!)

Yesterday was my final day as a #writerinresidence at Carclaze Primary working with year six and I can’t believe how fast the 12 weeks flew by. I was asked to run a creative writing for pleasure course and I’m not sure who had more fun - me or the kids!
