Spelling Gallery

 "Just consider the innovation, the genius of having youngsters dress up and act out useful spelling rules!" wrote Prof. Cummings.  Lessons which include colour, movement and drama are memorable. Thank you Archie and Evie, Billy and Marley, Clara and Elena and Izzie and Tish, Daniel and Haylie, Dexter, Estelle and Josephine, Floyd, Frazer and Tessa, Gabriella, Grace and Ivy, Holly, Indiana and Joanna, Katie, Marcella and Samuel, Morgan and Sula, Nathan, Nicholas, Peace, Raelene and Sam for acting out some of the foreign invasions, cultural changes and events which influenced English spelling.  Spelling systems such as Fairy E, Bossy R, Little Imp, Ready Redheads and many more become familiar through fancy dress.
