Day 2 let’s go!

It’s that time of the year again! @DofE Bronze in Thetford Forest. So far so good

Anyone got any internet provider recommendations? I’ve been with @Plusnet for years, just upgraded my contract, internet has been off for 48 hours, won’t get fixed until Monday and I’ve been met with basically a shrug

Gave my form a PSHE word search which didn’t actually contain any of the words. How long do you think it took them to realise the date?

So lucky to take our students to @CorpusCambridge to take part in a Business Language Champions competition yesterday

@monzo Hi - that didn’t work

@GriceMfl Hey there 👋 We're sorry for the trouble you're having with the app. Could you try a quick delete and re-install, and let us know if you're still having trouble? Thanks!

@monzo hi - the help function on my app seems stuck in a loop, I keep circling back to this, even when I select a transaction

@FrenchEdUK @ifru_london @ALL4language @ncle_ioe Love this - is there an easier version suitable for younger students please?

In Burkina Faso 🇧🇫, when one is thrilled to see someone, they don’t say "ça me réjouit" – they say "ça me sucre le cœur." How sweet is that?! ❤️ Want to learn more about francophone expressions? 👉Check out the Francophonie quiz : form.typeform.com/to/ZwwqzQ25 #MoisdelaFrancophonie

Anyone doing anything exciting for Francophonie day next week? #mflmatters

Harry Potter theme for World Book Day - wouldn’t be a very good Head of MFL if I didn’t have a display of international books now would I?!

So many girls yesterday in our school doing Galentine’s Day! Break time was an absolute sea of girls in all year groups doing gift exchanges and it was the cutest thing 💕

@Plusnet hi - my contact is due to end in May and I’ll he changing providers - how do I make sure it doesn’t auto renew please?

Celebrating LGBT+ History Month with a @SchoolsOUTUK treasure hunt. Students who find all the posters hidden around the school and write down the names of the trailblazers are entered into a draw to win this happy little rainbow!

@CCampbAusLangs Yeah honestly none of it sits right with me. What is the point of c? Just what I wanted after a mad week of teaching was to sit down, look at this and think “is this what the exam board thinks of us?”

@GriceMfl I don't like this either. It could have been better worded. Reasons b and e send the wrong message to students about being a 'nice' teacher.

Am I being overly sensitive or does anyone else take issue with this activity in the GCSE book?

@MFLMusings Yeah I just wanted to see if I was overreacting before I complained!

@GriceMfl I’ve never come across this activity/book (I’m based in Scotland) but feel like there are other ways this vocabulary and/or these structures could have been presented that wouldn’t characterise teachers as good or bad.

@aj2squared I do both of these things but I still don’t like it!

@GriceMfl It's a bit weird. Quite apart from the fact that teachers don't give bday cards out to kids, or give them sweets at Christmas!

@nicola_dEU No I really don’t like the conversations it would start either. It’s in F and H

@GriceMfl Oh I don't like this at all! How on earth did it get approved?!

Pride Group today made these gorgeous heart paper chains!

I won some a small bit of money (yay!) and want to get a few bits for my Pride group with it - any suggestions?
