Each group can win points for each correct answer it gives, which makes things even more suspenseful! ‘Form the word’ game Students can be divided in groups before they have a go at these games and learn how to collaborate from an early age. Judging by the names, it can easily be understood that the first games are a product of my inspiration during a cheerful lesson with the juniors, while the last one is well-known worldwide.

Mickey can join in the fun, too!Īs soon as the cards are prepared, the games that can be played with them are endless! The ones that never fail to excite my students are ‘Find the letter/ word’, ‘Form the word’, You are the Teacher’ and, of course, ‘Letter Bingo’. This activity does not take considerable classroom time and is always welcome by the children. On one side of the card, they can write the letter in uppercase and lowercase, while on the other they can write the word that begins with that letter and draw a picture of the word. All they need is some cardboard paper (or any colored paper) cut in small square pieces and their crayons. The students who start their journey in the English language are always very happy to make their very own alphabet cards. Thank you so much for your fantastic post, Christina!ġ) Alphabet cards Proudly showing our carefully arranged cards! She is an enthusiastic teacher and blogger and also an iTDi Associate. Gweneth provided a few of us the opportunity to work on a business project which, in my case, provided invaluable lessons as I got older.I have the great honour to present my new guest blogger to you – a wonderful educator from Crete, Greece: Christina Markoulaki! I have connected with Christina on Twitter and hope one day to meet her face-to-face. I got to see the pictures and scrapbook as Diane, who was running the youth club at the time lived next door to my parents. I'm sorry I missed the party a few years ago just before they bulldozed the site when old youth club members got together. I'll mention it to her when I'm next up in Sheffield as she is only a few doors down from my parents. Your sister of law would certainly have known Mrs Green who also worked at the Youth Club. Pass on my regards (she may remember me as Juan now pronounced "Waan" rather than "Jewan" - long story. So am I right to assume that you are also related to Anne? I was in the same year as Anne. Hi just thought you would like to know I saw Gweneth Harris just after xmas she looked just the same as she did in the 1970's when she taught me, she was at my sister in laws funeral, my sister in law used to work with gweneth in the youth club at Earl Marshal in the early 1980's dont know if you remember her, her name was Tracy Littlewood The difference is that they now lock the gates after a specified time. The kids still transfer from what was Earl Marshal Campus to the new bit (I remember doing the same thing but popping home for a quick snack). The only thing left is the tree that stood in Owler Lane primary top play area. I got back to Sheffield every so often and its still weird looking at where Owler Lane primary and the old block of Earl Marshal Comp stood now stands this new building. Hinde House, Herries had reputations as well. However, if I remember correctly some of the other schools e.g. Yes, the school had a reputation and it was the cause of a few "rucks" when playing other schools at football, basketball etc. Also, there was an active youth club which was handy for me as I only lived across the road I went twice and had an absolutely brill time both occasions. Also, don't forget those school exchange trips to Laragne, France. Managed to get my "A" levels (admittedly not the grades I needed at the time but life has a way of turning these things around) did load of sports (no chance of that now), and got into music in a big way (thanks Mrs Parish/Gweneth Harris whereever you are). there was some good teachers, mr blakey, mr stow,mr caborn, and gorgeous mr tanner!wud love to know what became of them all and whats become of the school?is it still there? i wasnt very brainy but my sister acheived 9 gcse's while there. You were probably in my year, i went 78-82,? i didnt find it a bad school, i thought the headteacher mr bullivant was very strict along with math teacher mr thornton ( who iwas terrified of! )and miss driver.
