I bring to you a little bit of Jadesola's song that she wrote in her last tutoring lesson before the Summer Holidays. It's written to the tune of Beyonce's Single Ladies !
What's New?
We have some interesting words here in Sussex, for example...
Thanks Lucy, it's lovely to hear how much he's enjoying the lessons!
Talking about feelings is great for young folk's minds! While it can be difficult to speak outwardly about themselves, creative writing gives children the freedom to express their emotions through their imagined dragons, witches or fairies.
The nursery rhyme "Mary Had a Little Lamb" is based on a true story. The girl in the rhyme is Mary Sawyer who, as a young girl, hid her pet lamb in a basket under her desk after it followed her to school. The rhyme was later written down, as a poem, by one of her classmates.
With a sprinkle of inspiration and a spark of confidence, children can realise the great stories in their heads. It's true - I've seen it many times!
Thanks for your kind review, Phoebe. I always look forward to tutoring Oscar and Alex!
My students enjoy a special moment to share their successes with me, called 'Blow Your Own Trumpet' time. Parents tell me they love it because it boosts their self-esteem. 🎺
