Cognition vs metacognition? 1st question of the day. The 1st of 4 IOC cross-authority metacognition and creative classroom days is underway! West Partnership #WPIOC

And so the madness begins for another year 🎄 🎅🏻

I have been loving taking a writing breakfast club! We are motivated, excited and enjoying some short burst independent writing - the snacks are good too ✍🏼 🥐 🍏 #writing

Perhaps a wee bit of junk modelling on the cards in Term 3… 📦 📦 📦

When your mum is a retired teacher and just can’t help herself 😭🐣🩷 🐰 🪺

I ❤️ what #talk4writing does for motivation to write. 3 sessions of Golden Time spent creating their own book linked to our Solar System topic! ✍🏼 👽 #writing

Typical that I’ve picked the sunniest day of the holidays so far to try and make progress with this assignment! 🤣 🌞

Our P2/3 class led a fantastic assembly this week helping us all to understand the ingredients needed to be a good friend, to feel respected and to show respect to others. Thanks to all the parents and family who were able to join us 💚❤️. #respected #readyrespectfulresponsible

Glad to have completed this assignment and presentation this week. An interesting case study with lots of keen little writers ✍🏼 💚❤️ #WPIOC

You can never go far wrong with a Solar System topic 🚀🪐☄️🧑‍🚀🛸👽🔭🛰️ . Very cute! 🥰 ❤️💚

A wonderful year in P2/3 ✨ never has there been a class with such an interest in the Solar System, the Loch Ness Monster, insects and a little bit of hymn singing. Well done for all your hard work this year 💚❤️

School’s out 💃🏽 ☀️

3 weeks, 9 cities, 6 countries = a dream 🚂🇦🇹🇩🇪🇸🇮🇮🇹🇫🇷🇧🇪 #interrailing

Tenth year of teaching and the surprises don’t stop coming 🌟🌟🌟

P1/2 have loved meeting Freddy the Phoneme Fairy 🧚🏻 this week! He has brought P1 their first phonemes and some double phonemes for P2. We have been trying out different active spelling strategies and we even managed to squeeze in some writing ✍🏼! 💚❤️ SLC Literacy and English

A nice wee Friday email ✨ IOC ✅ The West Partnership Improving Our… #improvingourclassrooms

Don’t forget! 👻
