Inspired by incredible children in my Reception class who want to know everything - free from the shame of not knowing. Some of their questions are very hard to answer! #soul #ooze #poetrycommunity #WritingCommunity #poems4kids #teaching #eyfs #wonder
If you are a teacher, a children's poet or have kids, it would mean the world if you would consider subscribing to my Youtube channel, I post poetry for children and teachers.

Be a cheer-leader! New version. Ages since I wrote a #kenning poem. I love them! Great for kids to write - my year 3 class once wrote fab kenning #poems describing themselves as #babies. #cheerleaders #cheerleading #poems4kids #poetrycommunity #WritingCommunity @teacher2teacher.bsky.social #T2T
When I was little, if I was naughty Mum would sometimes send me to bed early and say, 'What 'til your father gets home!' However, when Dad did come home, he would come up and and just giggle with me. I used the #wordprompt to take it to a new level 😜 #wordprompt #poems4kids #slipperyslope

As a #teacher, I work with very young children at school and watch on in astonishment. How gifted they are! They give me the gift of awe and wonder every single day. #wordoftheweek #poetryforkids #poems4kids #gift #giftofsight #gifted #play

This is dear to me. As a teacher, the power of #PlayDoh
never fails to astound me, especially for my non-verbal kids. And one song we all love singing: You Are My Sunshine - so I combined the two #playdough #Dough #poetrycommunity #poems4kids #poetryforchildren #SEND
Inspired by the children I teach - making sense of the world with their glorious imaginations #wordprompt #imagination #poems4kids #watercycle #water #poemsforkids

Crumbs: Best In Show I’ve always dreamed of entering Custard Cream for ‘Best In Show’ at Crumbs but I’m scared she lacks Garibaldi’s class Bourbon’s bite Hobnob’s pride Dodger’s heart Cherry’s tart Ginger’s punch Cookie’s crunch or the citrus tang the judges loved of last year’s winner Lemon Puff Mark Bird
