Planet St Mark’s

Well done to all of the children who took part in today’s assembly – Planet St Mark’s – sharing their languages and culture through words, songs, tongue twisters and dance – you were amazing!

Listen out for an announcement about our Planet St Mark’s lunchtime event, where you will be able to come and find out more and learn some words.

Dear Lord
Thank you for the gift of language and of different languages.
Please help us to be aware of other people all over the world and help us toreach out in joy, sorrow, thought and prayer.

Help us to use the words we speak to each other, to encourage and build each other up, to challenge wrong and inspire others.
Amen

Teachers: What are the j2e tools and how do I use them (in the curriculum)?

  1. Open a new tab, go to j2e.com and log in (school: stmarks  user: bwilliams  password: )
  2. Your launchpad contains buttons linking to the j2e tools. (You can also add links to other websites from the library or manually)
  3. Explore a range of tools for 10 minutes
  4. The main j2e tool is j2e5 – a blank page to add text, shapes, pictures, videos, sound, animations to produce posters, pages, booklets, websites, worksheets…  Template pages can be easily shared with children.

Your challenge is to produce a growth mindset poster for your classroom using j2e5 (and by doing so, learn as much as you can about it)

Resources:

  • I’ve put a few basics on a j2e page here
  • There are a few help videos from j2e about their tools here
  • Instructions for j2e(5) (an older version, but much is the same)
