***LITERACY STANDARDS***

Literacy lies at the heart of everything we do.

We know that strong reading, writing, and speaking skills are essential for students to fully engage with our ambitious, knowledge-rich curriculum and to succeed in all areas of life. That’s why we prioritise developing high levels of literacy across all subjects.

@MissCole279 has worked hard with our literacy lead to bring our strategy to life throughout school.

The whole process! Scaffolded I do, you do for the thesis, what, how and why and then students wrote a what, how, paragraph independently! Some truly excellent responses, well done year 10!

Just found out that rabbits can swim. Also learned their ears go into swim mode when they do. This is important news.

🌟Creative writing: sentence models🌟

Resources in the 🧵

I've been doing lots of sentence work. Last term, I tried to write with students every lesson, just trying to build writing muscles and expose them to lots of models
Inspired by @ChrisYoules His book is fab!

Does anyone have a grading and reporting system that they use that they think is effective? Are you in favour of sharing students' target or current grades? Why/why not? Thank you in advance! @PearceMrs @FunkyPedagogy @SaysMiss

Today I have a 90 min inset on 'lifting the lid on classroom talk'.

It has probably taken me over 20 hours to put together and many drafts.

Here is a little thread on what I'm doing and why. 1/10

@m_chiles Looks amazing! When will they be published? 🔎

[Ross Young ✍️ writingrocks.bsky.social @lit4pleasure]

Hi everyone. I know that teaching at the sentence-level is becoming a priority for many of you. Below, I’ve put together a collection of articles on the subject. Any of these could be really useful to read and discuss as part of a staff meeting.

Happy writing!

[Mrs Reading @AndersonKatM]

@PearceMrs @teacherhead @Xris32 @Doug_Lemov Super star. Thank you!

[Mrs Reading @AndersonKatM]

Does anyone have any ideas/ book recommendations /blogs on how to teach effective note taking for students and teachers? @teacherhead @PearceMrs @Xris32 @Doug_Lemov 🙏📝

[Matt Lynch @Mathew_Lynch44]

If, like me, you enjoy thrillers and crime fiction, here’s a little thread of some that I’ve read and enjoyed this year - in no particular order 😊

[Mrs Reading @AndersonKatM]

@PearceMrs You kind soul! Very grateful and inspired 🙏😊

[Mrs Reading @AndersonKatM]

I'm leading a T&L research group inspired by @PearceMrs's brilliant book. We have read Rosenshine & The Great Teaching Toolkit. Any suggestions for the next journal to read? 📖👍 Lists welcome!

[Mrs Reading @AndersonKatM]

@jamesdyke21 @LauraLolder @DixonsTC James, this all sounds fascinating. A plea from me to have a look at your KS3 curriculum. Ours need reviewing. Much appreciated!

In 2020 gyms shut down but I was in the best shape of my life.

How? At home work outs.

But most think they need a gym.

Here are the 9 exercises I used to get ripped at home (steal this workout):
