Gearing up for it

Pupil perceptions are done, and were very interesting... a good mixture of responses.

I plan to use Another code : R as the basis for our work on fiction genres, mixed in with some diary writing and linking Mario Cart to the latter half of our Forces topic in Science.

The Primary pete website has some really good ideas, reports and videos up there and a great link to a google docs spreadsheet detailing curriculum links and Wii game ideas... all separated by year group, there is a huge pool of ideas to take inspiration from there.

I plan to start the work in around a week. Once I have prised the Wii from my wife's hands...

Miis created!

Children have also done their pupil perceptions. During the creation of Miis it would appear some of the boys have some deep rooted desires to wear make up....!

All set to go!

I was pleasantly surprised with many of the responses from the pupil perception interviews - many of the children seem quite positive about their writing.

Our first literacy unit is fiction genres so I'm looking forward to getting out a couple of the adventure games!
