Hi sleepycat, it's been a LONG time since you originally posted this but I was hoping to get a copy of your notes too, if possible. I've just found out that I'll be teaching p1 for the 1st time next session. I'm interested in getting as much information as possible as it's a new school I'm moving to as well as a new class (eek!!!) Many thanks, in advance. xx kvince@talktalk.net

My HT would like us to use it as she thought it was great 20 years ago, in a different era!!!

Hey, I remember when it was first introduced into schools because I had just newly qualified and the school I was at was one of the schools chosen to try it out. As a NQT I found it amazing and the children really took to all the different activities and their writing really developed quickly. The best thing about being one of the experimental schools was that the two Michaels (Bill and Maureen) who devised the scheme used to visit the school regularly so we got a lot of advice from them and they in turn valued our feedback. The craziest thing though was that we, as an infant department, held workshops to show other teachers in the area how to use the programme and some of the teachers who attended them were teachers who had actually taught me!! What a crazy situation to find yourself in - instructing your old teacher about new teaching techniques! Good times!!

I realise there is the possibility this thread may have died a death, but if there is any chance anyone has those notes on FoW, I would greatly appreciate it if you could pass them on. Im working with a P1 class at the moment and think it would be of huge benefit. Many thanks. leahy.ben@gmail.com
