Launched today a new website from DCFS for children:

I was sent this link by one of our teachers, thanks Kelly!
When I was in the classroom I would try to find time for a bit of origami – because I enjoy it and because it is a skill which requires the children to listen carefully to instructions.
These days I suppose that I would feel obliged to link it to the NC (though it didn’t stop me in the past!!). Imagine asking half the class to watch the video then write instructions to make the bird, then asking the other half to try to follow the instructions ….

….. we’ve managed to launch Podium! During a twilight session, amongst lots of discussion and excitement, our project group created their own Podcasts.
