As Head of English I thought I should challenge myself to teaching all those who signed up for the English for Parents sesson in Year 5 - all at the same time!
So 22 parents with 22 children filled the hall and we learnt about relative clauses. Not many of the parents knew about relative clauses at the start of the lesson but I am pleased to announce by the time we had used talk time, white boards and a written exercise they felt a lot more secure in their understanding. The children thoroughly enjoyed sharing their learning with their parents and particularly liked it when they knew more!!
The feedback from the children and the parents was super, the parents were impressed by the level of understanding that the children had and enjoyed the way that we learn together in an active manner. The children told me that they liked their parents knowing what they are doing and being able to share and show their learning; they took great pleasure when they knew more than their parents!
Thank you to all that attended, I hope you enjoyed it as much as the children and I did.
