This is a question I've pondered: Why aren't I more confident and more effective at teaching spelling - when I'm essentially a very good speller? Is this not odd, if I consider myself a 'life-long learner' with a keen interest in morphology? How many times have I been tempted to say to a (KS2) student 'yes, 'sign' is spelt weirdly - can you just learn it!'
Anyway, in making this video my Yr4's invested much enthusiasm and it was clear during the lesson that a 'quest' approach culminating in a performance, motivated all children.
I use the video as a resource for other classes who are exploring this suffix (-tion, et al).

Ps. congratulations Zek - the birth of a new learner!
