As teachers, we all have strategies to engage children in their learning. Unfortunately, all classes are different and sometimes we need to change the strategy. Focusing children on a whole range of achievements, no matter how small, is beneficial for the whole class. The Learning Wolverine focuses on more than academic achievements. The focus is on how the child learns, not what they learn. Each achievement has its own merit as the child comes closer to being a Learning Wolverine. The video is the main part of the strategy, which can be used to initiate discussion about the best learning environment. There is also a follow up poster and child planner sheet.

This pack includes the a to c words of the year 3 and 4 compulsory spelling list. Each word has been placed in a sentence (words in context) which is read on the video. The children are allowed 30 second to write the sentence. Then the sentence is displayed on the video for the children to correct. I have included ideas on how to use these video as well as a success criteria for the children and an extension task. The extension task relates to the evaluate and edit section of the year 3 and 4 English Programme of Study. I have included a break down of the content of the sentences in a NC coverage sheet, which is included in the pack too.
