Today's excerpt would be ideal. Some older children feel too cool to have stories read to them(!) but are happy to look at the IWB where they also, without knowing it, pick up other features of the text. So good for those who do not read at home...]]> 2020-05-28 09:11:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ianrockey1/nlqljed38ltbn28h/wish/598704801 https://padlet.com/ianrockey1/nlqljed38ltbn28h/wish/598707295 We love the way you said stories are like living things and you have to coax them & that ideas are there for the taking & that stories are like seeds. :))]]> 2020-05-28 09:13:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ianrockey1/nlqljed38ltbn28h/wish/598707295 https://padlet.com/ianrockey1/nlqljed38ltbn28h/wish/598711985 Loved the extract of the story!]]> 2020-05-28 09:15:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ianrockey1/nlqljed38ltbn28h/wish/598711985 https://padlet.com/ianrockey1/nlqljed38ltbn28h/wish/598720601 The sound effects made the story sound so real to me!]]> 2020-05-28 09:20:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ianrockey1/nlqljed38ltbn28h/wish/598720601 https://padlet.com/ianrockey1/nlqljed38ltbn28h/wish/598741460 Children are my inspiration for writing.
