Dear George from Y7 Pioneer…

Dear George,

I just wanted to let you know that we used your recent work on ‘What does the community of Doncaster owe to the Railway?’ in our lesson yesterday.

After accidentally seeing and hearing you present your work to the whole of Y7 Pioneer, I knew that I had to share your work with my own Humanities class – 7 Explorer. Miss Poncia shared your Google Doc with me, and we copied and pasted a paragraph onto a side of A4 paper, and then glued it onto some larger paper.

During session 5 (just 3 lessons after hearing your work) I put students into groups of 5 and they took part in a carousel activity where they looked at each one of your paragraphs, in order to see what success looks like, and made annotations.

I phoned your Dad to praise you for your wonderful work, and to thank you for working so hard on it. 7 Explorer were very impressed and we will continue to look at the annotations during the last few lessons on our final draft.

Thank you, and well done George!
