Ooh - I can see it fitting perfectly with Story Land - a place for every reception and KS1 (and beyond) child. @crownhousepub.bsky.social @openingdoors.bsky.social
It’s beautiful! We had the excellent Patrice Baldwin come in to work with us last year and she took us to Story Land. This would be absolutely perfect to have alongside that sort of visit. Poems we know, poems we’re writing now and poems waiting to be written so they can have wings to fly.

That’s great to hear! We all look forward to hearing from the pupils and seeing their writing. Exciting times! @openingdoors.bsky.social @thinktalkleah.bsky.social @crownhousepub.bsky.social @lauraspargo.bsky.social
We have purchased this and our KS1 team are very excited! It also helps us with our 'wings to fly' providing a helpful scaffold for how we can develop great sequences of learning with beautiful and ambitious text! I'll be sure to capture some pupil voice and writing for you 🥰
