To celebrate International Women's Day, I introduced my KS3 learners to the brilliance of Maya Angelou. They were inspired to write their own poems, thanking a special woman in their lives.
What's New?
My Year 5 students and I have been getting creative and crafting our own rap songs. We've been inspired by the incredible MC Grammar! 🎤
I hope you had a great Pancake Day, here's how mine went... 🤣
I had an idea at Christmas. I would find a way that students can look back and see their achievements and progress.
Have you heard of a Billy Baker, Grammer zow, Parson's pig, or Cheese log?
I'm creating some fun and festive writing activities today. I love that dabbing snowman!
My jokes might induce groans rather than chuckles but I love laughter in our lessons! It makes my students feel more relaxed; they enjoy the lessons more; and most of all, it's been proven to bolster their memory and recall. How great is that?
I've always loved coming up with creative ideas, but I've not always had the confidence to share them. So what changed?
Yesterday, one of my lizard-loving learners (who "hates school") had tonnes of fun with poetry. We planned a poem based on Brian Moses' energetic 'Walking with my Iguana', and he almost didn't realise he was learning all about adverbs and adjectives along the way! 🦎
