CLC Salford

Spent the morning working with Sue. We were planning a questionnaire for leading teachers of Gifted and Talented in the North West.

We are both involved with North West Gifted and Talented. The group is looking at how we can develop the support we give to schools in the area. Rather than second- guess what provision might be required, we decided to find out straight from the horses' mouth, so to speak.

Wellacre

It’s been great fun spending the last few days working with the boys at Wellacre School in Trafford. We’ve been using 3D images projected onto the whiteboard as a stimulus to creative writing. Using ‘Nightmare’ as our theme, allowed the boys to jump easily from one powerful image to another. This allowed me to use the best 3D images I could find rather than confining myself only to dinosaur images as I had originally planned.

The images were downloaded free form Google. The 3D glasses (red/cyan) were bought on the internet for about a pound a pair.

As well as providing the images as a spur to their imagination, we provided a ‘Super Sizzling Sentences Toolkit.’ If you’d like a copy, please leave an email address in the comment box.
