WHAT AN INCREDIBLE NIGHT! We’re so proud to have been part of such a spectacular #OpeningCeremony and especially of our exceptional MD @thembamvula, who led all 700 singers through the whole night, from God Save the Queen to Duran Duran. Oh @birminghamcg22 - what a show!! #B2022

Replying to @DWP
❌ "Employment is up" There are actually 580,000 fewer people in work than there were before the pandemic began. A government department should not be getting this wrong.

Incredible night singing with @ETOpera in #StJohnPassion! We LOVED being part of it; a privilege to sing with such an amazing group of soloists & orchestra, conducted by Jonathan Peter Kenny. Only @thembamvula could’ve believed we’d learn 12 chorales in 10 weeks by ear!

I am super excited about this narrative non fiction book! I imagine reading aloud and showing the physical tools it talks about or using videos to extend understanding with kids. This is the kind of stuff they LOVE to learn!! Ordering now! @saraclevine @KateSlater #BookAllies

Wow, my young birder loves this #PB by @saraclevine, illustrated by @KateSlater. The guessing-game format, unique way of viewing bird features, and clever pictures kept us hooked. Non-fiction #kidlit at its finest! 👏 🐦
