Lovely to be back with KS1 teachers at Sylvester Primary today planning their next Writing Roots and Literary Leaves. Great to see examples of outcomes published with pride and hearing about children really enjoying their writing (photos from Y2) ☺️

Yesterday I was off to Kemble to workshop with committed leaders about the legacy of their vocabulary action research projects and share ways to cultivate & develop vocabulary with 40 teachers from their schools. Curiosity about & playfulness towards vocabulary acquisition at the heart of the day!
