It 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.

I 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?

I 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.

Hidden figures and Curiosity the mars rover are fabulous if you’re linking to yr5 space. I adapted from literacy tree planning which was helpful.

We 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.

I’d be interested to hear more about outdoor learning that you do with UKS2. Please tell?

I previously played cornet and flugel horn. Rockchoir is great a national organisation and no needed to be able to read music.

Harris Burdick, Hugo Cabret, The Nowhere Emporium, Curiosity (mars rover) I love the picture books that can be used in UKS2.

I 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.

Making 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.
