Purpose of PoetryWord of the Day

Padlet and Lino

Use stream mode to create a collaborative story. Each child follows on from the one before. Story can be planned or unplanned before hand

Use it as a word wall – key words and phrases get added through a topic. Kids can access it when needed and at home too

Get kids to add different ways they solve problems and then use for reference in other lessons

It can display pics so use it for ordering story images Take a pic of a child’s work and put in the middle

then get other kids to post comments on the wall Post a video to the wall you want them to watch and

have them post reflections

Endless possibilities…
