The Clara James Approach to learning
When it comes to learning we are all individuals.
The past 20+ years have taught me that no matter our learning style if the child is engaged and relaxed they are more likely to learn.
If we just keep giving them the same resources, varied over and over again, all we are doing is giving them one place in their brains to find the information. However, by giving them a variety of resources we can make it more interesting, more relevant, and help them to create multiple memories so that when they need to recall the information, they have more places they can go to in order to find it.
If we can boost their confidence as well as their knowledge we will make their life and ours easier.
For 20 years now I've been fascinated by different learning styles: ASD, Dyslexia, ADHD. The purpose of this podcast is to share my findings with you, so that maybe what I've learned will be of help to you too.

Jenga
Jenga. How is Jenga relevant to maths or English?
I had to ask myself how I could make it relevant, and actually over the past couple of years since it was first suggested as a handwriting aid, we have found multiple ways to incorporate it into both maths and English for both younger students and, believe it or not, GCSE students.
In this podcast we will talk you through how you can incorporate times-tables, number bonds, punctuation, grammatical terminology, into this fun (and slightly addictive) game.
