Liz Williams @bpootle3.bsky.social · 14/09/2024It doesn’t make sense to me to give children lists to learn where all the words have the same suffix grapheme. The difficulty I see is in choosing which suffix grapheme to apply. So just thinking where this fits in to the teaching. 000
Liz Williams @bpootle3.bsky.social · 14/09/2024Thanks for replying. I mean like these rules in ks2. 000
Liz Williams @bpootle3.bsky.social · 14/09/2024I am contemplating the teaching of spelling in mixed age KS2 classes. I really like the work of @suchmo83.bsky.social and @missiebee.bsky.social and whole class phoneme focus but with differentiated spelling lists. Where would you recommend fitting the teaching of rules into this? 211
Liz Williams @bpootle3.bsky.social · 11/09/2024Yep and really feeling it with now 3 year groups and new initiatives. 010
Liz Williams @bpootle3.bsky.social · 09/09/2024I would love more consideration of mixed-age classes to happen. There are so many potential benefits but it seems you are constantly pushed towards squeezing in each years groups work. 120
Liz Williams @bpootle3.bsky.social · 31/08/2024Amazing thank you. Sorry a bit slow on the response. Enjoying those last moments of summer! Now to work out how to DM on here?! 000

Liz Williams @bpootle3.bsky.social · 22/08/2024Hidden figures and Curiosity the mars rover are fabulous if you’re linking to yr5 space. I adapted from literacy tree planning which was helpful. 110
Liz Williams @bpootle3.bsky.social · 22/08/2024We have used this to write setting descriptions, 2 contrasting ones looking at how important the choice of vocabulary is for creating the atmosphere and then section of narrative including dialogue. 000
Liz Williams @bpootle3.bsky.social · 22/08/2024I’d be interested to hear more about outdoor learning that you do with UKS2. Please tell? 100
Liz Williams @bpootle3.bsky.social · 19/08/2024I previously played cornet and flugel horn. Rockchoir is great a national organisation and no needed to be able to read music. 110
Liz Williams @bpootle3.bsky.social · 19/08/2024Harris Burdick, Hugo Cabret, The Nowhere Emporium, Curiosity (mars rover) I love the picture books that can be used in UKS2. 020
Liz Williams @bpootle3.bsky.social · 19/08/2024I sing in Rockchoir. I don’t think taxi driver to teenager counts as a hobby! Previously, and hopefully again one day, I played in Brass bands. 240

Liz Williams @bpootle3.bsky.social · 16/08/2024Just finished. Really Enjoyed this light touch on Greece and archeological history. Only in the summer holidays do I really manage to read adult books! In to a couple of KS2 books next. #eduskyprimary #booksky 020
Liz Williams @bpootle3.bsky.social · 16/08/2024Making the transition to this platform. Would love to reconnect with other primary educators. #eduskyprimary looking forward to reading what I want again. Thanks @missiebee.bsky.social for the encouragement. 3292
