  • Since many of our users have been using our e-learning resources more than usual over the last several weeks, we have been doing our best to help our community stay connected. We began this month by sharing three ways we have improved our site to help our users. 
     
  • We returned to our 10 Words series this month and put communication at the heart of our list. Here are 10 ways to talk about talking. 
     
  • In this post we looked at words that have evolved thanks to technology and the internet. Stay tuned for part 2. 
     
  • This month we tried something new with our Word for Wednesday posts and grouped them around the same theme. The theme we chose was animals. Follow the links to learn about how the rhinoceros, ostrich, python, flamingo, and camel got their names.

One of the students has put in a huge amount of effort in completing Spellzone at least 3 times a week since his arrival with us in January. Looking at his scores after the latest GL testing, his standardised score has risen from 99 to 131. This is a truly phenomenal result. I just wanted to share the best result I have ever seen.
