Your students as learners

We have notice over the last few months of doing QS with the students their confident levels have increased.

They are will to read out aloud in classSome have moved up a level in their spelling

groupsPositive attitudes towards doing homework

and class work.

Development of new passagesWe haven’t really development any new

passages, as yet but looking at doing it next year, for the different levels of students coming up.

Vicki did start to develop a new passage but never got it finished.
