This camp ends on Thursday- as per the syllabus. 🌟Join me, a self- proclaimed Hogwarts expert, for a reading & writing camp, perfect for Harry Potter fans! We will explore and master English skills through the lens of the magical world of J.K. Rowling. 🤝 Beginners will be guided step-by-step, advanced students challenged with targeted questions and vocabulary. ✨Each week, children will explore a different reading or writing skill and demonstrate their understanding through short, focused pieces of work, all inspired by the magical world of Harry Potter. ✨ If this is your first class on outschool, sign up using my referral code ellygb0C to get $20 off! *********************************Typical Class Routine********************************************** 🎲 'Getting to know you' game or activity 📖 Introduction to the topic- reading a shared text or a modelled example 🎓 Guided instruction -this is where I explain and show how to complete the activity ✍️Independent work 🗣️ Sharing work and feedback within the class. 🎮📖 Harry Potter-themed (or otherwise) show-and-tell or an online game or quiz encouraging children to share and communicate with their peers. 🕒There is always an opportunity for students to finish their work after class and submit for feedback as I wouldn’t want a student to feel rushed or pressured into sharing. *********************************Other Information************************************************* 📝 Additional content is introduced weekly, and worksheets are provided in advance. 💡 Flexible participation options are available with optional home-learning activities. 📝Small class sizes ensure a conducive environment for swift progress. 💰 Discounts are available for whole-term sign-ups.

Supply List
- If children are able to type, the lessons work best using Google Docs, so that I can see what they are writing and edit it with them in live time. Please make sure that you have an account set up and logged on for the lesson. - If children cannot or do not want to type we can easily use pen and paper, but please make sure that it is a dark pen that I will be able to see on camera. -Some printed resources may be required, but I will give due notice of these. - Item for Harry Potter Show and tell in session 1.
