Mlle FH 🇫🇷 🇪🇸 🇪🇺

@MflCe For speaking in KS3 we give them a list of several questions that we might ask. Ask 4 questions from that list and 1 not from the list (from previous topic or from same topic but different to the list given) and that’s it. That way it’s about 2/3min per students.

@MflCe With 3h a week, we do an assessment every half term with listening/reading in one lesson, writing for KS4/grammar only for KS3 and speaking. It takes time but you do see more confidence and improvement when it comes to taking their GCSE speaking.

@ed_objective @Headteacherchat @Gaiinz Probably 2 or 4

Bit of market research for OH and his pottery. Which shape do you like best? 1. Tall 2. Cappuccino 3. Curvy 4. Tapered Responses and RP appreciated. 🙏🥰.@Headteacherchat @Gaiinz

Miss FH's 4th Form #UppinghamSpanish classes tried out the Spanish tradition 'Doce Uvas' - eating a grape on each chime of the midnight bells on New Year's Eve. They represent the 12 months of the new year to come and bring good health, good luck, happiness and abundance 🇪🇸 🍇

An excellent opportunity for teachers and HoDs. Friday 3rd November!

@160Farms In my very first job (as an NQT) I had a class of 34. And it was in a “rough” area.

It’s hard to explain to people what it’s like to have this many in your care. My biggest ever was 32, anyone go any higher than that?

@HeroicMrT I think you should mention it to someone at school. Even though he isn’t a pupil there, he was not so long ago (especially if you’re in a sixth form school). Keep helping and talking to him if he needs and tell school you will do that but it also shows he is dependent on you

A former student of mine (19 YO now), who knows where I live as he delivers for a local takeaway restaurant (and I’m a pig), knocked on my door to talk to me as he was going through a rough time and I supported him at school. Is this ok safeguarding wise or should I report this?

@MissDaveyMFL Both our coach air con and hotel air con are not working. Haha😂

The air con at the hotel we’re staying at in Paris isn’t working 🙃 love that for us.

This very early wake up is going to be difficult but it is for a good thing. During the night, we’re leaving school and taking 44 students to Paris for the week. All these months and numerous hours of planning it and it is now happening :)

@Beaches0411 ❤️

What year of #teaching are you going into? Reply with a heart.. I am 💜 #teachertwitter #teacherlife ❤️ 0-5 🧡 5-10 💛 10-15 💚 15-20 💙 20-25 💜 25 plus

@MissDaveyMFL Might see you there at some point as we’re taking 44 students to Paris this week too! I hope it all goes well and runs smoothly for both our trips. I understand all the hard work and preparation you have put ahead of it and hope you enjoy it!

We are taking 80 students to Paris this week 🇫🇷 I feel like I haven’t slept properly for weeks and have spent more hours than I care to admit trying to make sure everything is ready. Fingers crossed everything runs smoothly 🤞🏻

@MissDaveyMFL 80 students? Wow. I’m taking 45 & the Louvre is not going to be possible too. We’ve decided on Chateau de St Clou instead. If that fails, we will just have a free-time afternoon and take the students in the metro and walk to the place de la Concorde, jardin des Tuileries,etc.

Does anyone have any recommendations for things to do in Paris with 80 students? 🇫🇷 It is proving very difficult to book Louvre tickets so we need a plan B. (We are already doing Eiffel Tower, bateaux mouches, science museum and Disneyland) #MFLTwitterati

@scshoots @joedale If you want to get notifications for all jobs going with a certain amount of miles from your house, you can create an account on Teachvac and activate alerts! It works so well and they check jobs on all websites except for Facebook.

📣 Merry bank holiday teachers! Could you please avail me with your suggestions for job hunting? 🚨 I have seen that the TES is no longer de rigueur (too spenny 💰) #mfltwitterati #edutwitter

I got offered a position to my dream job today! Celebrations this weekend 🎉🎊

We do! French and Spanish. French is taught for half of the year and Spanish for the other half. Same all the way during KS3.

@missgeog92 I find question by question to be easier. And it means that all the same questions are marked similarly.

What *is* the easiest way to mark? Paper by paper or question by question

Yesterday I’ve had another colleague telling me: “I don’t know how much left I’ve got in me, I will missing teaching but I’m these conditions it’s getting really hard, I’m not sure how long I’ll be a teacher for. Not sure I’ll still be one next year”. @NEUnion #TeacherStrike

@MflCe What happened? That’s not cool! Some people think they can say anything on tweeter without thinking of the person behind! Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, although I don’t really get how people can support AT but whatever. Hope you’re okay 👍🏻

@mrswrighty76 Most teachers would tell you: We love our job and would have preferred to be teaching today. Yes children have lost a day of learning BUT if it continues this way, they would lose so much more learning because we wouldn’t have the funds or staff to educate and care for them

NOT when it comes to a child’s education.. a role they chose to go into as an educator and role model…to do this so close to gcse and a levels after what these kids have been through last couple of years is a disgrace!

@profprofMFL In addition to that, I’ll also strike to stop losing TAs and LSAs to better paid jobs outside of education and struggling to recruit, this leaving EHCP and SEND students to the teacher on top of the rest of the 30 students in the room.
