First takeaway

Embarking on this new journey has led me to develop my first takeaway homework menu. It is downloadable from the following link, but rather than reinvent the wheel I have adapted ones available from the TES. Feel free to use it yourself. I will be waiting to see how my pupils respond to the new style.

Looking at other takeaway homeworks, I decided to add a little classroom management on to the menu. By adding in an extras column I was able to offer additional credit for things such as punctuality, being equipped, courteous, handing in homework early and other factors. I hope it has the desired affect.

So following on from my first takeaway homework. I have seen first hand the enthusiasms and pride from my pupils and their work. This has been fantastic start and has me eager to start this fully from September. 

With the correct structure and coupling this with the flipped classroom I can see a better balance between work and life. Although I am under no illusion that this will need a lot of preparation in the first instance. 

Here are a few pictures of the resouces that the pupils produces. They range from board games to videos, and incorporate poems and essays. 

Very proud of my pupils.
