Writing feedback: took a pic of this essay and printed copies for the class. Marked it live on the board, students listened to my thought process and wrote my annotations. We used the mark scheme to give a mark /15 and students wrote a list of EBIs for their individual essays

Uploaded a grammar map with tense conjugation of verbs for the new GCSE. Rules are for regular verbs in the following tenses: present, preterite, near future, present continuous, imperfect, perfect, simple future and conditional. #mfltwitterati secondaryspanish.co.uk/ks4-resources-…

‼️ Reminder! ‼️ A few places left - we’re hosting @gianfrancocont9 this month 🤩 either send me an email or DM for more information!

This started working beautifully with my 🇫🇷 class recently, so I’ve developed it a bit for 🇪🇸. A3 printing is the crucial bit to remember. Space needed to write. ⚫️ addressed =✅ / ⚫️ not addressed =❎. 20 points available. #mfltwitterati (Working on a 👨🏻‍🏫 sharing link ASAP).

@ChrisMFLTandL Hi Chris!! Would I please be able to get a copy of the Spanish one? Looks great!

We tell pupils to study, but have we actually taught them how to study?? Today I finished off my ‘How to study: a simple guide on how to study smarter not harder’ PowerPoint. Hopefully will help senior pupils learn how to study effectively ✨

‼️Excitingly, we are hosting @gianfrancocont9 at @SandymoorOA on November 18th. CPD focusing on EPI at KS4 / the new GCSE. Please let me know if you’d like more information ‼️

@BotonesSalgado @OllieMFL I would love to see it too if you didn’t mind!

@OllieMFL I have planned the whole sequence for technology for Y10 but easily adapted, taught in Y9 if wanted. :) let me know if you would like the link

In the process of updating some resources for the new academic year. In comes some new language for year 9 to use with the unit on internet/technology. Whilst I'm on the topic. Does anybody know of a nice sequence of lessons on social media (before I make one?). #mfltwitterati 👨‍💻

Thank you to @MissMcConville for the display! It brightens up our corridor 🤩
