Any primary teachers know where i could do a course on linguistic phonics?

Just curious, but apart from linguistic phonics, what other types of phonics are there?

ardal · October 14, 2011, 11:19:33 PM

So there's only phonics (linguistic)

Not sure, will ask around on monday and see if anyone knows of any others. But linguistic phonics is being widely implemented in schools now so it would be the best one. Did u check the other education boards websites?

As far as I know, the two types I have used are linguistic phonics and synthetic phonics.

Best note home from school yet!

Friday 28th October is a staff training day so there will be no children in school. This is also the day Miss xxx xxxxx, Primary # teacher's wedding to Mr xxx xxxxxx. I am sure staff, parents and pupils would like to wish xxxxx all the best on her wedding day.

I am sure the staff will be having the training day in some hotel.

A week off!

Maybe they should post when they are actually in.

Need to get them in cleaning the yard and painting the school during the students holidays. Need to save the Department of Education some money.

Yes, they visit us on the 28th. Will have to dig out those lesson plans

Tony Baloney · November 06, 2011, 06:45:44 PM

TYP, Do your teachers get to use the same lesson plans every year? The missus is forever doing new lesson plans, creating blogs, moodles and always yaps about having too much to do but no other teachers I know do anywhere near the same amount of work! Is this crap (outside teaching time and marking homeworks) a necessity these days, an expectation or can you get away with doing less? It appears some teachers are!

Really. What about all the money teachers save the state, by 'minding' some of these kids for a few more years, before they are eventually let loose and appear before a court near you?

Notice how the riots in England's cities stopped once the schools reopened

Try it sometime and you might find out that there is more to teaching than teaching.

The whole point of holidays is that you DON'T work.

Quotea special word of encouragement to those who might encounter special visitors on their return to school for the remainder of this term.

Bloody mice. I was away from the house for a few days and they moved in too. It's the time of year.

moysider · November 06, 2011, 10:04:50 PM

Unreal.

As well as that I had a mice visit. A honeymooning couple by the sounds of it. I like mice and they are very playful and entertaining. However their cavorting drove myself and the missus into the spare room in the middle of the night, clutching pillows and duvet (and what was left of my stalk!). The other two were duly caught and relocated for re-education the following day. I find they can t resist a lightly fried Carr's white pudding.
