One of the easiest ways to improve writing and to create captivating writing pieces is to include adjectives. In a world where we get so used to hearing the same words, it's time to expand our vocabulary and be able to describe people, feelings, places and things with some 'wow' words! In this ongoing interactive class students will look at an image, imagine an event or think deeply about feelings and then brainstorm adjectives together. Each lesson will start with the students being introduced to what they will be describing in that lesson. It may be a picture of a place, it could be a villain or a hero from a story or it could be feelings they would feel in a certain situation. Together we will discuss what is happening, what are the obvious things we see or think. Then we will brainstorm adjectives describing our object/person/place. Once we have a rich word bank of adjectives, we will write a descriptive paragraph about the topic. Children can choose to use the teacher's model to aid them in the writing process (this serves as guidance but still gives children the independence to use their adjectives of choice), or they can write the piece independently. Those who would like to share their writing publicly can do so, however, this is the student's choice. I have a relaxed, encouraging, and enthusiastic teaching style and love learner-based lessons. Interaction is key and a safe and supportive environment is essential for happy and productive learning.  

Each week we will be looking at a new image, story, character, or setting. Each lesson stands on its own (Topics may change)
Week starting 10/07/2023 - The Pudgy Panda
Week starting 17/07/2023 - A Shooting Star
Week starting 24/07/2023 - Frozen

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, my name is Carlin King. I am a Year 1 teacher living and working in the United Kingdom. I have been a primary school teacher for more than ten years and love being part of the formative years. I have been trained in a number of different phonetic programmes including RWInc (Read, Write Inc). 

My greatest passion is teaching children to read and write. As a child, I loved to write stories. I found it came naturally to me as I was a total book worm. However, as a teacher, I have seen that many children struggle with creativity, vocabulary and sentence structure when it comes to their writing. When children have both a writing model and an interest in the subject matter - that is when creative writing takes shape. Engaging and exciting themes, fun and well-written books and fascinating historical events and characters are just some of the subjects I like to use in my writing lessons. These classes will be for primary school children roughly between the ages of 5-8. Basic phonetic knowledge needs to be there as we can then sound out and build sentences together.  

I am a firm believer in teaching phonics when it comes to fluent and confident reading. I have been teaching children to read throughout my teaching career and have had many experiences in different phonetic programmes. I decided to create my own phonic reading scheme, using what I know works, and make it engaging and exciting for children.
I believe teaching is about having fun and allowing children to get emersed in a subject. As a teacher, I strive to be a guide - allowing children to let their interest and curiosity drive their learning. As a child, I loved school and was privileged to go to more than one school as I spent my childhood living in different parts of Africa. I was born in Nambia and then moved to Ghana when I was nine years old.  As a teenager, I attended a wonderful boarding school in South Africa. I now live in England with my husband and two gorgeous babies.
