How amazing is this? In the midst of turmoil and devastation, education is still important. These children and their wonderful teacher should be in a proper school, properly resourced. #Justice4Palestine

Always wanted to go into a Waterstones and do that, since writing my first poems in Year 6. Out now with Scholastic UK

A European teenager asked me for a selfie by Piccadilly, I thought ‘here we go again’ he’s recognised me for my raps - but it turned out he just needed it for his language exchange homework. I’m fuming at myself.

Year 2 have got 2 many raps. #rap #teacher #school

Teaching in both higher education and primary education is mad. I spent the evening teaching on a Creative Writing MA at university, and the morning pretending to be a jellyfish.

Moving Up from Christian Foley is packed with advice, wisdom and catchy raps on everything from homework to making friends, making it the perfect guide book for helping kids starting secondary school.
