I've created three 'bingo' sheets of summer English challenges: reading, writing and SPaG. Particularly good for all those nervous parents/pupils worried by the 'falling behind' narrative. Let me know if you want a copy. Thanks @AVisserFuray for some reading ideas.@Team_English1

[Mrs M @Educiting]

@SecondaryEng I’m currently creating something like this myself. Just wondering what SQI, IEC stand for? Statement Quote Inference?

[Mrs M @Educiting]

I’ve moved but I know there are a few teachers still here and sharing.

This time of year can be death by a thousand revision lessons - stressful and tedious! Hopefully, these ideas might help?

10. Vocabulary Explainers
Use in: Science, Geography, Languages, etc.
What: Pupils explain a key term or concept in their own words and use it in context.
Impact: Deepens word-level understanding, especially for tier 2/3 vocab.
Example:
• “Define and explain ‘photosynthesis’.”
