Well here I am back after such a long time. To be honest I never thought I'd be using this blog again.
The years have rolled on and the kids grown up. Look at them here compared to the photo in the postings below! This was taken next to the Turner Gallery in Margate last week.
Now with the sunsine a distant memory I'm back on the course trying to keep up!
Excuse me using an old blog but in the interests of reduce, reuse, recycle - well I'm reducing my effort, reusing a blog and recycling the same old rubbish!

QUESTION
Who has the catch phrase reduce, reuse, recycle?
Teaching Idea
Ask the children to bring in a hardcopy photo of themselves taken 5 years ago. They are likely to be between age 3 and 6 in the old photo. You will aim to make a wall poster to decorate the classroom. Call the poster 'Our class 5 years ago'.
Give each child a small strip of paper. On one tell them to write one of the differences they can see between themselves now and 5 years ago. E.g. I was shorter; I was younger; My hair was lighter; I had fewer teeth! The sentences with contain comparatives. Then give each child a second strip of paper and ask them to write a similar sentence about a friend in the class on it. Jane was younger; He was thinner; Marcel was not as clever etc. Ask the children to paste their photos and sentences onto sheets of poster paper and decorate it.
Translated into an ICT Activity
Ask children to e-mail you the photo and then upload them onto a ready prepared page on your class wiki. Alternatively ask the students to upload their own pictures as per your instructions (depends on aga and ability).
You are going to make the same poster but as a wiki page/set of pages. Children can write their sentences directly next to the appropriate photo.
Don't forget to do one for yourself and think of some fun comparatives!
