Tuesday Staff Meeting: 2 Online Modules
I know there has been a lot of literacy learning with Monday’s closure day and the staff meeting, but to have the content completed at the start of the term makes sense with planning.
Where? As we have done all year, in the Learning Leaders classroom.
Modules: Text Composition (17 mins)
Flare Story Spiral/Story Circle (26 mins)
15 minutes survey (same as what we did last year - TEST CONDITIONS ) I will send this after school.
Email me on completion. That is the last of the modules for 2026! Thanks for all you have done in this space.
