It’s National Writing Day! This is an annual celebration of writing designed to inspire people across the UK to get writing. It’s message is simple: everyone has a story to tell and sharing it can be a source of pleasure and power.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Having just launched our brand new Creative Writing subscription box (see the link in the bio), this is something we’re passionate about.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To celebrate, we’re taking part in the campaign to inspire creative writing on a grand scale : young people are more inclined to write creatively if they see adults around them doing so and writing can benefit people of all ages. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So pick up a pen and share some words!

It’s National Pet Day! Which gives us the perfect excuse to celebrate animal books. Cats, dogs, ponies ... but what about Sam Wu’s snake?

We just missed National Free Comic Day (who knew that one existed?) so to make up for it, here's a free comic-themed joke!

Today is “National Clean Up Your Room” day. Who knew! Anyway, it seems the perfect opportunity to recommend our favourite poem for KS1 - Shel Silverstein’s “Messy Room”. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
