I've been working on a resource for @EngMediaCentre for @PoetryDayUK - a very simple, easily do-able activity fuelled by some fabulous poems that take an unusual angle on the theme of 'Wonder'. If you're an English teacher, watch out for it on EMC website - up there by Monday!

It was a quiet day on the #poetry front… then I got this lovely email! 🥰
It’s a wonderful feeling to know that a piece you have written has been recognised like this, especially when it was written from deep in the heart. 💔
I will share more anon…
