My DMs are open to anyone who needs it - from experienced teachers to trainees❤️

I’m putting together a comprehensive reading list for my top set Year 9s. Any recommendations? 📚

Wales were written off by many before this tournament, but they've claimed the Triple Crown and remain on course for Grand Slam glory!

Very mixed emotions right now!!

[MissParker_English @MissparkerE]

Happy half term everyone! Not even 09:30 in the morning and I have the Friday feeling. Hope everyone has a fantastic day and a restful half term 🥳🥳

Why should bread have all the fun, when there's Weetabix? Serving up @HeinzUK Beanz on bix for breakfast with a twist. #ItHasToBeHeinz #HaveYouHadYourWeetabix

@OrtonNasher Yesss love this!! Thank you my lovely!

[MissParker_English @MissparkerE]

Going to introduce a 'Miss P's challenge' every week, things to make lockdown a more positive experience for my Year 7s. So far I have:
- Email a teacher saying how much you're enjoying lessons
- Phoning / texting someone you haven't spoken to in a while

Any suggestions welcome!

[MissParker_English @MissparkerE]

@RebeccaWildish Love this!! I’m thinking of setting a nature challenge over half term - they have to collect a leaf from an oak tree, or a stone or something like that and to make a collage - top 3 wins prizes or house points or something!

[MissParker_English @MissparkerE]

I also have:
- Arrange a video call with a friend from school
- Trying something new such as baking, cooking, bird-watching, etc
- To send a motivational message to someone in your form

[MissParker_English @MissparkerE]

It's okay if your child can only manage core subjects online.

It's okay if your child isn't motivated 100% of the time (hell I'm barely motivated AT ALL this time round).

It's okay if your child doesn't know the full ins and outs of Microsoft Teams / Google C. yet

It's okay.

[MissParker_English @MissparkerE]

@DowlenHolly Oooh thanks for this! I haven’t heard of the black T-shirt trick before but will definitely try it. Thank you 🧡

[MissParker_English @MissparkerE]

Does anyone have any remedies for headaches caused by looking at a screen too long? I don’t want to be taking paracetamol every day! 🙏🏻

[MissParker_English @MissparkerE]

Came across this, and I really liked it 🧡

[MissParker_English @MissparkerE]

Hope everyone is okay! Absolutely shattered after the first day of teaching online 🙄😴

[MissParker_English @MissparkerE]

@misscenglish20 Hope this helps! If I think of anymore, I’ll let you know 🙏🏻

[MissParker_English @MissparkerE]

@misscenglish20 3) Assignments on Teams is amazing: it will allow you to see who's clicked on it and who's submitted work. You can mark it from there if needed or just create a quiz that marks itself

4) Recording lessons isn't only good for safeguarding but it means pupils can access it anytime

[MissParker_English @MissparkerE]

@misscenglish20 So a few tips:
1) Only share your PowerPoint and not the whole screen, that way you're able to see the chat as well (I always have my students either come on the mics or type answers into chat)
2) Use the hands up function for when pupils want to share answers / ask questions

[MissParker_English @MissparkerE]

@MissS_Eng You've totally got this!💪🏻
