7L- Creative Writing Day

I am exhausted! I've just had what has to be one of my favourite days at work since I've started teaching. I have spent the entire day with my GORGEOUS year 7s and Mr Tim Rylands just being creative.

7L were absolutely fantastic- their behaviour, their participation and the work they produced. An absolute credit to the school and, most importantly, themselves. On top of that, since getting home I've already received a phonecall from Mr Rylands telling me how much he enjoyed working with them as well. I am very, VERY proud!

Thank you 7L. You are all truly inspirational!

Yr 6: Creative Writing with Tim Rylands- part 1

What a day! For the last two hours I've been sat in the Learning Resource Centre, with 24 pupils from our local primary schools, a selection of their teachers and LSAs and the incredibly inspiring Tim Rylands (not forgetting the lovely Sarah). We've explored a new world AND created a range of incredibly impressive pieces of descriptive writing. The pupils were all amazing: enthusiastic, attentive and extrememly responsive. I'm looking forward to next year's year 7 already!

Check out my thoughts on the day's adventure at Mr Ryland's blog http://www.timrylands.com/blog/ along with a fabulous selection of pictures from the day. A big thank you to all those who helped me organise the day and were a part of it. Most importantly, a big thank you to the awesome selection of children that attended... I don't know about you, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
