We were given a tremendous welcome by the principal and staff of the international school and treated very well.
Zurich itself was in the midst of festivals and celebrations which added to the delights of our trip - and the weather was nothing short of glorious.
The training event was very lively and friendly - but one day is barely long enough to introduce the synthetic phonics teaching principles, to introduce the Phonics International resources and to embed the understanding.
If schools do wish to become well-trained in the synthetic phonics principles and the programme's resources - and to receive advice about the organisation of resources and the immediate way forward for the school, please do consider booking a two-day training event if you would like me to provide the training.
We have a few snapshots from the trip which we shall upload into our photo gallery shortly.
Many, many thanks to our hosts in Switzerland!
