Only a quick one this week as I just want to thank the truly awesome bunch of people who have supported my crowdfunder, without whom I wouldn’t have been able to afford this trip and to find the new, exciting and eccentric ideas for engaging children and young people in literacy learning that we could seek to replicate here in Nottingham.

A huge heartfelt thank you to:
