One of those magical moments today-finished the class novel. Lion Above the Door by @OnjaliRauf . Needless to say the round of applause at the end showed how much they have loved this. I wanted to capture their thoughts so here they are - hope you enjoy reading! @OpenUni_RfP

One of my boys read your book in 24 hours - not a voracious reader but adored your book! He’s onto my signed copy of the First year now. He’s produced this scrapbook page in response. Hope you like it! @OpenUni_RfP @EarlyTrain

My last few months of listening is a myriad great children’s literature. I love the narration - imagining the voices and losing time - makes the km of running go faster that’s for sure! What your fave? What else must I add to my list?! @OpenUni_RfP @jonnybid @_Reading_Rocks_

Y3 have loved studying Wild Robot by @itspeterbrown. They've read the book, seen the film, created their own stories &robots & had a very special online visit from the star author himself. It's been a big hit with adults &children alike and yielded some fab results. @OpenUni_RfP

Persuaded myself to run this morning &started a new listen - had this one on the virtual tbr pile for some time. Stepped away from mythical lands to somewhere more familiar. Love the tone so far -so real & raw. This one is going to get me isn’t it?! @OpenUni_RfP @TomPercivalsays

Inspired by @EarlyTrain at the @OpenUni_RfP I threw the rules out today and asked the children in their final week in yr5 to explore their voices after listening some of the Final Year. We chatted about topics and Nate and then I set them free. They’re flying! @WritingRocks_17

This one has been on my tbr virtual pile for quite some time - finally listened to it whilst running and loved it! I always love a fantasy world - the world building by was detailed but I felt we reached the action fairly quickly. Will be recommending! @OpenU_RfP @_Reading_Rocks_
