This week, Dylan clears out his teacher cupboard and uncovers some absolute treasures: an inflatable flamingo, old class photos, and three brilliant books every classroom should have – The House with Chicken Legs, The Book with No Pictures, and One Is a Snail, Ten Is a Crab.

But the big chat? That’s all about the brand new DfE Writing Framework, dropped this July. We give our honest reaction to the changes – the controversies, the good parts and our opinions on writing young

Then we’re joined by Jane Considine, who brings the positivity and explains why she believes this could be a big moment for writing in primary schools.

There’s laughter, debate, some hot takes, and a serious call for your thoughts.

💬 We want your feedback on this one – what do YOU think of the new framework?
