Inspired by @HeoldduEnglish I’ve just sent some praise postcards home to congratulate pupils on their IRPs - they were exceptional! 👏🏼 #FridayFeeling

This term we’ve begun a new three year project to really hone our whole school literacy, it’s called Literacy is Power Massive piece of work, which is slowly being implemented in waves over the next year

If you have been with me on my Twitter journey you will know how much I love Guided Reading Tasks! I have created a GPT to help generate these tasks. Please read my article and have a go at it yourself and do let me know what you think! #edutwitter tinyurl.com/z2w343yr

We've prioritised the resources that we know teachers use most, as not all our digital resources are available right now, following a cyber-attack in October 2023. The best-loved articles are now hosted on a platform called Padlet: padlet.com/discovering_li…

@CM_Geog @LiteracyNetwor1 @LiteracyCommUK dropbox.com/scl/fo/ej4o0rm… This uses the EEF improving secondary literacy guidance- to be issued to each dept and the spreadsheet to collate the responses allowed me to see where the areas if needs were

Has anyone completed a disciplinary literacy audit across subjects? What did this look like for you? Staff audit done but would like to see where individual subject areas currently are 📚 #disciplinaryliteracy @LiteracyNetwor1 @LiteracyCommUK

@emma_ebm Amazing!

Absolutely thrilled for our year 11s. They thoroughly deserve the grades they’ve received today.

FREE audio books in Welsh! A large collection of stories to download – favourites including The Gruffalo, The Hungry Caterpillar and many more: drefwen.com/english/books/… Diolch @dref_wen

@emma_ebm @Mrs_D_EngHOD @826valencia One of the best things you recommended @emma_ebm - I made staff do one of the tasks on a whole-school INSET! 🤣

@Mrs_D_EngHOD @826valencia Haha hope you all enjoy! My year 10s still go crazy when I say the words ‘free write’ 😂

@MrRGlasby Hi @MrRGlasby - would you be willing to post 'The Hate U Give' if we covered postage?

Today I was able to share all of the wonderful work that has taken place this year at @Blackwood_Comp as we have embarked on our TWR journey. 👏

Which of these strategies are you using with your pupils? You can find further information about them on our website impact.wales or from the @EducEndowFoundn teaching & learning toolkit.

Year 6 had a wonderful morning with Mrs Jones @BCSEnglish1 proofreading and editing their diaries. They are very excited about starting Year 7 in September. Diolch Mrs Jones for creating such an enjoyable English transition task for us. 😊
