@IMcMillan Morning! We wrap up our Michaelmas term with a couple of lessons on 'The Game: Christmas Day 1914' - students love it and there used to be a great video reading by footballers too. YouTube now says vid=private - is there anywhere this can still be accessed please?
My little (but quite large!) brother has signed up for Team Theo's Glow Run 2021 to raise money for The Childrenβs Hospital and Charity this Christmas, please sponsor him if you can! https://t.co/b7nnVMb8Fn
@LynnHoyland1 Poem - Peril Sonnet by David Baker, The Oven Bird by Robert Frost, The Well Rising by William E Stafford, Vertigo by Alice Oswald. And Duffy curated like 20 environmental poems a few years ago: https://t.co/OVBYqgumNS
@LynnHoyland1 Text suggestion wise (various ability levels) City of Rust, The Extraordinary Colours of Auden Dare, How to Save the World with a Chicken and an Egg, Song of the Dolphin Boy, World Without Fish, and Island (Nicky Singer). As for Non-Fiction -Attenborough transcripts/WWF articles?
@mrs_denglish@ChrisYoules@joshuaseigal Im the exact same. Absolute coward with scary films, but it was such a great film that it was worth it, and more unsettling than scary per se. In the same vein, Taking Lives and Identity.
@kateowbridge Small and narrow. Gorgeous, but very much dinner shoes not day shoes in terms of comfort. Better after using the potato trick to relax them.
@AdeleBatesZ Behaviour isn't bad by any stretch, but just really really bouncy! Few kids still struggling to acclamatise to routines again, bits of giddiness here and there really.
@NaeemaAkhtar2 @Team_English1 Sarojini Naidu, Autumn Song or most of Emily Dickinson's work - possibly There Is Another Sky or I'll Tell You How The Sun Rose.
@MissClouston I feel you entirely - they're tried and tested successes, but I also wanted to try and change it up a bit! We don't teach a myths and legends unit unlike in some schools, so when we're back to business as usual, think myths and legends across the world is the way I'll go.
