Claytonia is our space for sharing learning and teaching strategies at Clayton Hall Business and Language College. This blog will allow us to enhance our connections in the three following areas:
- between colleagues in order to share and collaborate
- between teachers and pupils, in order to celebrate success and to share learning resources
- between home and school in order to involve parents in their children's learning at Clayton Hall Business and Language College
What's in a name?
After some considerable thought the name, 'Claytonia' was selected by members of the English department at Clayton to promote the idea of a creative learning community. Of course English teachers at Clayton, also love their fantasy fiction and sci-fi!

I used the AFL powerpoint this week as a plenary with a year 8 maths class. It worked very well.

I love this, it's a great way to share stuff quickly and bring all our staff up to date with new technology. Also, I can't wait to see the kids getting involved in this and seeing teachers and students working together to promote effective learning!

It can be used for English and i.t to improve typing speed and grammer and writing about things using a smart choice of words.
