Few people will have the opportunity to make history. Every person has the ability to affect the lives of those close by. A small act of kindness can change someone’s world. #BeAHero

@nat_leewhite I also use the online videos of the Jack Petchey awards for speeches given by students as part of a competition 😊

#teamenglish looking for amazing speeches to show our Year 10’s. Any recommendations? Thanks

I felt miserable this morning and then some things happened 1) I walked past a drama classroom this morning and heard the teacher utter the phrase, ‘No Macbeth is not a musical’

Me: did anyone mention proposed National Service in the community for Q5? Students: *blank stares* #aqalanguagepaper2

@English_MrsD @emma_dunderdale I would really love a copy too please 🙏🏻 This looks fantastic!

@emma_dunderdale Of course! Send me your email address and I'll send it once it's done 😁

Our Yr 8s have a discrete 'Literacy' period per week & I am currently revamping the scheme. It's slow going but I'm finally getting somewhere with it. It's one of those jobs I'd given myself all year to complete, yet here we are in June & only getting to it now 🙈

@LauraLolder For the last lesson before the exam we looked at the difficult relationship between Juliet and her parents. Fed beautifully into Juliet’s struggles on the Lit paper this week!

The extract we looked at in the warm up this morning. 👀 At break and lunch Y11 called the English department witches. We will take it 🧙‍♀️🧙‍♀️🧙‍♀️

I'm not saying the start of term is bonkers for everyone but I am saying that my cleaner texted me to ask if she could put before and after pictures of my house on her business page this afternoon. 🌪️😴🫠🫨

Sending good vibes for #GCSE results day tomorrow - remember that you’re all awesome and we’re here to celebrate, help and support you 🍀

Here’s something I’ve quickly put together for English Language, Paper 2. Q5 for live lessons. Includes lots of ideas from others. If it helps, please feel free to use/adapt! @Team_English1 dropbox.com/sh/w7viokn3y8x…

Year 11: strive for the ordinary and let the extraordinary take care of itself. It will, because you’re awesome. Thank you for being you 💗

Good luck to the GCSE students collecting results today!

OFSTED during Enrichment Week? Bring it on!

@FreyaMariaO @Team_English1 A Christmas Carol perfectly demonstrates zooming in, use of senses and the way a reader’s opinion of a character can be influenced before meeting them

That feeling when a student has a lightbulb moment. That’s what it’s all about

In case you needed to hear this. 🧡 📷 Living Happy

Students will remember very little from your class but they will remember you. Make sure it’s a good memory.

Reflection creates new opportunities and vice versa. It’s an exciting place to be

Dear Amanda, Will Mr Johnson take action against Conservative MPs who perpetrate the abuse of the public by accusing them of spending kids’ lunch money on drugs and prostitutes, and apologise for Ben Bradley’s record of bigoted behaviour? Thought not.

Oop, Ben Bradley. Reckon there’s a waiting list at the clinic?

How it started How it’s going
