Teach outstanding writing, punctuation and grammar course<\/h2>\n

Beyonc\u00e9, Pitch Perfect and zombies…what do they all have in common?
\nThey can revolutionise your SPaG teaching…that’s what!<\/p>\n

Do you want to teach writing, punctuation and grammar in a creative way? Are you looking
\nfor a whole-school approach to see writing and SPaG progression throughout the school? Are
\nyou new to your year group and want to master new ARE terminology through a hands-on
\nworkshop?<\/p>\n

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this training conference is for you. The
\nday will be filled with ideas for you to use the very next day!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Typical Breakdown of the day:<\/h2>\n

8:45 \u2013 9:00<\/span> \u2013 Arrival, registration and refreshments.<\/h4>\n

9:00 \u2013 10:30<\/span> \u2013 The Place Value of Grammar<\/h4>\n

Teachers can spend hours of unnecessary time focusing on areas of grammar, which have
\nalready been covered, whilst huge gaps remain uncovered. But where should you start? Can
\nthere be a whole-school approach to fix this? The Place Value of Grammar does this.<\/p>\n

10:30 \u2013 10:45<\/span> \u2013 Coffee break \"coffe<\/h4>\n

10:45 \u2013 11:15<\/span> \u2013 Why so tense?<\/h4>\n

Bonnie Tyler, One Direction and the cast of Pitch Perfect can all work collectively to
\nalleviate your tension. Discover how the use of song and rhyme can have your pupils
\nrecognising the difference between the past progressive, present progressive, past simple,
\npresent simple, past perfect, present perfect and future tenses.<\/p>\n

11:15 – 12:15<\/span> \u2013 Meeting Writing and SPaG ARE expectations in KS1<\/h4>\n

What\u2019s a subordinating conjunction? Which co-ordinating conjunction can we use here? How
\ncan I make all of this memorable and enjoyable for 6 and 7 year olds?
\nThe expectations for KS1 are higher than ever. In this hands-on workshop, you\u2019ll not only
\nhave a blast improving your own understanding of grammar, but you\u2019ll have a wide range of
\nengaging activities to deliver the very next day!<\/p>\n

12:15 – 13:00<\/span> – Lunch break \"Lunch<\/h4>\n

13:00 \u2013 14:30<\/span> \u2013 Meeting Writing and SPaG ARE expectations in KS2<\/h4>\n

How do I use the subjunctive form? What\u2019s the difference between a preposition and a
\nsubordinating conjunction? Where should my comma go?
\nThe expectations for KS2 are higher than ever. In this hands-on workshop, you\u2019ll not only
\nhave a blast improving your own understanding of grammar, but you\u2019ll have a wide range of
\nengaging activities to deliver the very next day!<\/p>\n

14:30 \u2013 15:00<\/span> \u2013 Support, challenge and quality feedback.<\/h4>\n

How can I support my lower ability pupils to understand this? How can I challenge all pupils
\nto meet this expectation?<\/p>\n

This final workshop aims to provide you with a variety of approaches to support and
\nThis course can be booked as a whole day or half day. A ‘lite’ version is also available for
\ntwilight CPD sessions. We are also happy to adapt parts of the course to meet the needs of the
\nschool and your staff.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
