‘I used to hate writing but now I love sprinkling the magic.’ Y2 boy
Previously: The best part of the day was…
Having the children with us because they were amazing. The work they produced was truly stunning.
I loved all of it because it was well paced and built up to a final piece.
Practical – excellent with the children actually being here to do the tasks – very good ideas.
Each year group receives four online teaching sessions planned and delivered by myself.

Please note that no workshops for Y1 and Y3/4 are planned this year and that each set of of workshops needs a minimum number of two schools to be viable.
This is a dual opportunity; CPD for teachers and a chance for your children to shine!
Cost: £250 per year group, per school for all four session to be invoiced after the first session.
How it works
Before each session: teachers will identify a space where they will have access to a Zoom enabled computer, screen and speakers. They will Identify the children who will be in the group. I will send a Zoom link and an activity pack to print via email to the named teacher. It is important that a teacher is with the children and not support staff as it is teachers who stand to gain the most professionally from the sessions.
During: Live teaching and input from PW with time for teachers and children to work together
on the tasks and share outcomes as appropriate.
After: work can be sent to me to provide feedback – all resources including a video summary is made available online for teachers.
Each year group has a key text to focus upon and this is used as basis for the four sessions which will cover a variety of written fiction and non-fiction tasks. The texts are:
Y1 Leaf – Y2 Orion and the Dark – Y3/4 The Wild Robot – Y5 The Highwayman – Y6 The Lady of Shalott
