Switching it up this weekend with a classic that’s not a children’s/YA book. A recommendation and birthday gift from a good friend. Anyone read it?

A fabulous final Teacher Reading Group session. Blown away by the passion of all the teachers who presented their EOPs. Can’t wait to share them with the rest of our staff team. A wonderful end to my day 😁 @openuni-rfp.bsky.social @kashleyenglish.bsky.social @teresacremin.bsky.social
