Great to be back with the Barnsley LA KS2 writing moderation team today for our first training session of the new year, co-leading alongside @RachelKnoxBooks at @hcat_learning HQ. Such a brilliant bunch to work with ✍️

So, so proud of ASPS. We work so hard to do right by our children and I’m so glad that this comes through in our OFSTED report 💙

Another day, another display. Hocus Pocus was the hook for our writing. We loved it. #y6writing #hookforwriting #interests 🎃👻🧙

Broken: Rock, Paper, Scissors - Literacy Shed. Such a gorgeous video and a great hook for writing. The children chose one of the three characters (Rock, Paper or Scissors) and wrote from their perspective. This is one as Rock. 🪨 📄✂️. #y6writing #greathook #firstpieceoftheyear

These are some of the displays on our Y5/6 corridor. As it’s half term, some will be coming down and new ones going up! It all starts with the environment for me. #bookasahookforwriting #childrenswriting #celebrateteachingandlearning #english #flanimals #boyatthebackoftheclass.

After an exhausting OFSTED inspection, I honestly feel like I’ve aged 10 years in the last two days. However, what a team the ASPS massive are!! So proud of where I work and the people I work with. 💙. And breathe!!!

It’s always good for the soul when you work with people who want the same for the children in our care. The Oracy leaders nailed it today. #collaboration #ofheartsandminds #fillingthosecups #ECM @MrsKellyWood_ @flmagor

Purpose: to write two diary entries.

1st one: as Ahmet on his first day at school.

2nd one: as Alexa when it’s Ahmet’s first day at school. @OnjaliRauf

As a class, we absolutely loved this book. #refugee #learning #bekind #theboyatthebackoftheclass

Non-chron reports using the children’s interest: POKÉMON.

Kids designed their own Pokémon and then given two different scenarios.

1. Become a Pokémon Specialist & present their findings for other Pokémon Specialists.

2. Now present their work for a KS1 audience.

Purpose: write a letter of complaint about Harry P being able to participate in the Tri-Wizard Tournament.

Audience: Ministry of Magic.

The children were asked to become either Hermione or Draco
