Micheal Rosen returns
|
We are delighted to have poet and children's author Michael Rosen back for the second year in 2025. Michael gave the closing talk on the first day of the conference in 2024, entertaining academic managers in the audience by analysing the grammar of the opening pages of his iconic picture book We're Going on a Bear Hunt and with stories of learning French through rude songs and family holidays. In 2025, Michael will give the closing talk on day two of the conference, allowing those attending the teaching practice day to hear from him.
