This week, we welcomed fellow colleagues from around the North-West to our school. We have been busy as one of the schools chosen to trial the ‘My Book Blog’ resources from @ruthmiskin. Other schools are now interested in our journey so far!

Y5 have been our pioneers and they love the new materials. The idea is to combine real books with personalised digital resources that allow each child to build their own reading profile. ‘My Book Blog’ encourages children to share opinions about characters, settings and events whilst providing them with banks to powerful words to use in their blogging. We have invested in new group readers, including ‘Skellig’ and ‘Charlotte’s Web’ and having 1:1 iPads works really well with this new resource.

Look out, Y4 and Y6 – My Book Blog is coming your way!
