I was very happy to be invited to talk to a captive audience of teachers attending a NATE conference at Savile Park Primary School today. The teachers from both primary and secondary schools were gathered together for a series of workshops about different aspects of teaching literacy. I gave part performance, part talking through the kind of things that I do when I go into schools. It seemed to go down well and I hope that I’ll see some of the people I met there in their own schools very soon. I think it was the first time that the school had hosted such an event and they were very positive and welcoming, so hopefully it will be the first of many.
