And the KLAs that are nationalised are the same as ones we already had (for primary) before but added in some extra focuses, such as the major history push. Hopefully over the next however many years the smaller expectations/benchmarks/outcomes/asse…
I have been wondering the same thing for the same reasons though like you, I haven't heard anything from the National Curriculum people nor seen anything in the paperwork and sites we've been given either. I'm in Victoria. We're guessing at this sta…
Oh, I've never taken photos!
We did them for all sorts of things, depends onthe year level. Prep we used to make lots of class books for events and use them to practice certain sentence starts. We also made doubles class books in Prep too for maths.…
Some cooperative class games are really good for Year 1s, and holiday writing by doing lots of modelling of words they may need to use and simple sentence starts, read lots of stories, do some counting and place value 'fun' in maths sessions, have l…
Oh no,wait!! I misread your question last night!!! (It was a bit late when I checked my email!!). Re-reading, you meant the K-3 site, not the Ning site. I haven't got a subscription this year, so I'm not sure as to an answer for that question.

I've used Letterland before in Prep as a part of the literacy block (not as the only program, we incorporated it amongst many other things). Feel free to ask questions, on how we used it and I also have some Letterland files that I made to suit our…
Ooh, that is a big jump! I hope you enjoy it. It is very different but so cool seeing the progress so much more obviously!

Thanks Rochelle.
Sparklebox also has a KS2 stage website for Years 2-5 that is useful for Early Years/Middle Years Teachers as well. You just click on the KS2 link at the top of the homepage.
Here are some I made years ago. You might be able to update them. If the font doesn't work, they were done in a Victorian Cursive Font so you may have to change all that. They were also made when I was just learning about Word Processing and are pre…
You have a little bit more prep time then. That's a really short term 4. And if your independent school is like ours, then reports are due early with the whole editing process, assessments are straight up and onto the system and with presentation ni…
Not downloadable as far as I know. Like THRASS, it's one of those programs where they want your money and won't let you do anything. From what I can gather, most Jolly Phonics stuff you have to buy from education shops, though every now and then I d…
Jen,
That's great news on the planner and the company having some still. I hope that your start to term has gone well (unless you are in SA in which case, I guess you are still on holidays! And possibly QLD as well, actually!) and you are settling…
