It has been a little while since my last reflection and I have so much to share!
I have found this website from a colleague The Literacy Shed this has some really great story starters and prompts the imagination.
We were meant to be going to a literacy course in the holidays but unfortunately it was cancelled.
Since then I have been trying to familiarise myself with the Sheena Cameron and Louise Dempsey writing book. So far it looks to have some really good, practical ideas for the classroom and I would like to start them up from next year onwards.
I have observed in the Year 7-8 Syndicate to see how they work their writing programme. Have also been to a year 1 and 2-3 class to observe. I talked to our Year 5-6 team leader on how they run their programmes. Using all the information I have gathered and that from my own team members I have come up with what works for our class room.
That will be my next post.
