Joy Allcock Spelling

How are we conducting our spelling programme?

Should we be teaching letters make a sound or that sounds are made by certain letters?

We are starting the Joy Allcock Spelling programme (Switched On To Spelling) and have done some light (lol) reading...


  • the 'k' sound might be a c in cat and a b in king
  • the long 'a' soundmight be an ay in tray but an ai in train
  • ch represent 'ch' in chips, 'k' in Christmas and 'sh' in machine.
How are we going to make this easier for our children???

Watch this space...

BEHAVIOUR??

This year we are focusing on behaviour in our classrooms.  What are we doing to change for our kids? Change our thinking? Change our actions? Change our perceptions? Change our expectations?

How can I change to better suit the learners in my classroom?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

I have always felt very proud of my behaviour management skills.
