Struggling with spelling can mean that the beautiful and creative ideas that we want to share are shackled, weighted down and sometimes lost. That is true for all transcription skills. So work on handwriting and spelling so that you are able to find your flow. That is freedom.

2. Remember the letter pattern at the end.
3. Cover the words up in some way and try again.

Spellings are important. If you learn them, you don't need to spend extra time thinking about them when you could be getting into your writing flow, letting the imagination soar, allowing yourself freedom amongst the stars and nourishing your soul with joyous language instead.

Tuesday 3rd September 2024. 

Good afternoon everybody.

I am sat in this empty classroom like a lost umbrella left at a bus stop on the Outer Hebrides. 

"That's not right," my lonesome brain mutters. "See, you're even talking to yourself, which is not a good sign," my meddlesome mind continues. 

"I know, I know," I say out loud to the walls and chairs. They don't reply. Nor do the pencils and pens from the pots on the tables. It's pretty quiet in here and I'm not sure I like it. 

You know what to do people. Bring yourselves in here tomorrow for some learning, realise it's actually quite brilliant, come every day and stop me from having to read the most incredible books to myself. 

We will be finding out about the Ancient Greeks, looking closely at how your heart works, discovering why flowers are important to  artists, creating pop-up books, finally making sure that we punctuate all our sentences properly, there will be calculating, estimating, ruminating and participating. There'll be PE at some point which will mainly involve watching ancient videos of York City from when I was a lad and some an overuse of tired cliches. It will be fabulous and fun but only with you here. 

I'm waiting and the clock is ticking...
