Reflections on the in-service day by Elle.

We have had a meeting (apologies from TT and DW) 11/2/2010 We have decided to trial the following. 1. Each week make sure we concentrate on a PLTS each lesson with 8s2 (in RE, Geog,IT) for 3/6weeks 2. At the end of this period we would then run a collapsed day for this 1 group. (to glue all of the skills together, use them more explicitly and review them) The theme for the day is going to be something topical e.g. Haiti The plan is that we meet to discuss further on Thursday 25th Feb in IT 4 - here we pull together ideas and will finalise action plans We then do ‘SKONTENT’: PLTS and your own content in you lessons Then on the Tuesday 22nd March we have a collapsed day with 8s2.
