Here is our first online DFE POS teacher tutorial based on "Bonfire Night". The activities are devised to help schools explore the teaching and delivery of the objectives of listening attentively and responding, exploring sounds and patterns of words, reading aloud, performing and understanding basic grammar. We hope that there is whole school engagement too as the activities are designed so that they can be delivered by specialist and/or non-specialist teachers.

As part of the DFE funded WTSA/PLN Language Learning for Everyone we have been offering local North West schools the opportunity to attend twilight network meetings where we have looked at the DFE POS for KS2. In the second year of the DFE project roll out we are now sharing these resources with a wider audience via social media.

This is the first in a series of blog posts and You Tube clips where we will share our DFE project resources, ideas and CPD with a wider audience.Watch out for our Christmas and all that Jazz, Carnival and World Book Day, Going to the Seaside and Aliens at School blog posts which will follow over the next couple of months. The packages have resources and activities that can be shared and used by all the teachers. The intention is that the activities are simple and easy to deliver and that the teachers will grow in confidence in their own ability to deliver some primary language teaching.
