On Monday my book club turned one year old!
A year ago I got 35 strangers together in a cafe to drink wine, eat cheese and talk about a book. One year later we are still loving it every month!
Was lovely to celebrate with my lovely gang who are no longer strangers but friends❤️

I can confirm no one was interested in my monologue about how Jaws is an allegory for greed… they all just sang baby shark. #WorldBookDay2024

We absolutely loved having Theatre Company KATCH 22 visit @LBoysSchool and perform their version of Macbeth to the students - the Q&A session at the end was so engaging and students loved hearing their thoughts about the play! Some lovely questions from our boys too! 🎭

[Elena Russell @MissRussell11]

Last half term I absolutely loved working with Y9 on their poetry. They wrote poems called “Dear People of the World” about challenging stereotypes. Thomas wrote about being “short” but fierce in the Ice Hockey rink! Words are beautiful ❤️

[Elena Russell @MissRussell11]

@andie_teaches One of my favourites!!! Would you mind sharing this when you’re done? Looks incredible! 😍

[Elena Russell @MissRussell11]

Y11 intervention season in full swing! Small groups, lots of discussion, high impact, a really different kind of teaching and I actually adore it!

[Elena Russell @MissRussell11]

We absolutely LOVED having @ClaireFayers with us for our Reading Week, she delivered an amazing author Q&A and a story writing workshop in the library. Thank you for being part of our Literacy drive Claire! The boys were so inspired to be creative.
