1. Breakthrough Workout UKLO style practice problems aimed at pupils in Key Stages 2 and 3 Sarah Campbell

2.  Breakthrough Workout problems are UKLO style questions designed to be accessible to pupils in Key Stages 2 and 3, and are likely to be most suitable for pupils in Years 5,6,7 and 8.  Completed problems are not entered into any UKLO competition; rather they are designed as learning resources for use in lesson time and / or linguistics clubs. (There is, however, a Breakthrough Level competition, for those who would like to compete).  Problems come complete with markschemes, commentaries and suggested prompt questions for teachers, so they wouldn’t necessarily need to be delivered by language specialists.  Breakthrough Workout problems aren’t yet available publically, as they are still being developed by a UKLO team, but we have plenty of example problems and are looking for willing pupils and teachers to test them out!  We are also looking for teachers and other interested individuals to join our Breakthrough Workout problem creation team, and hope by the start of the academic year 2015-2016 to have hundreds of problems available to download from the UKLO website. What is Breakthrough Workout?

3.  Take a pack of example problems today and trial them with your pupils, then send us a completed feedback form so we can see whether we in the problem creation team are getting it right!  Add your email to the mailing list sign-up sheet to register your interest / willingness to join our problem creation team. Templates, guidelines and support will be given to those creating problems, and we’d love to have as many people as possible on board.  Following the trialling of some example problems this term, will be reviewing our existing problems, and then inviting people to start creating new ones in the New Year. How can I be involved?
