We had a very special visitor in school today, prompting the βWater Safetyβ campaign, and teaching us how to keep safe. πββοΈ#personaldevelopment#Beingbrilliant βοΈ
We've been working on visual versions of our LTPs for Key Stage Two. It's been great to reflect upon the projects we create with our children and consider what this might look like next year @theartcriminal@accessart@Artsmarkaward @PaulCarneyArts @IVEBridge@MaryMyatt
Deliberate Practice
I used to ask pupils to practise letter formation by writing a string of letters across the page one after another. Without fail, pupils writing became worse with each consecutive letter! Instead of doing this, ask pupils to write a small number of letters together (perhaps 3 or 4 at a time), put their pencil down, check their work then pick it up again and repeat the group of letters. This makes a huge difference and pupils get additional practice at picking up their pencil using the routine you have taught.
