@FunkyPedagogy Order from RNIB. You should have a travelling VI teacher from the local authority that can help!

Brilliant podcast from ⁦@Sathnam⁩ and again, reminding me of how great it is that I get to talk about Empire when I teach. Our curriculum fills our students with a great diet. Some lovely nuggets about food to throw in. https://t.co/dN7MRXunGQ

[Nina Adams @MrsNAdams]

This should be mandatory listening for all teachers. ⁦@alomshaha⁩ speaks beautifully about how important the job is and how amazing teachers are. Something that sadly, we often need reminding of! https://t.co/diBF0YDoQz

@happyteacherhub Straight to the work and I find my expectations are set via that. The first few lessons are so important.

@TeacherBusy Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. We use this as a springboard for related mythology.

Found a little friend in my strawberries @waitrose

Super disappointed with the service from @teslaeurope which is such a shame.

[Toby Adams @tobyadams]

Disappointed by poor communication & organization by @teslaeurope Dartford - 3hr appt this morning turned into overnight stay with no updates or contact. Now car-less tomorrow. Manager assures me travel costs covered but systems should prevent this. @TeslaOwnersUK @TeslaInTheUK

@RogersHistory Focus on the kids and teaching the subject you love!

[Nina Adams @MrsNAdams]

Finding this from ⁦@caitlinmoran⁩ super interesting and thought provoking. It certainly helps to make more sense of things I’m hearing from our teenage boys at school. https://t.co/Ueufj8e5NM

@MrsRPatel @Team_English1 We do them in class and film via iPad or Chromebook. It does take lesson time but we’ve really tried to ensure we include a focus on speaking and listening as it’s such an important skill. It’s a huge achievement for some of our students.

@MiddleSchEng @Team_English1 Roald Dahl’s Tales of the Unexpected? Lamb to The Slaughter is a good one. Or The Landlady. Quite dark.

[Nina Adams @MrsNAdams]

@HughJRichards Curriculum map. Other than that, none. Took my laptop just incase but didn’t need to open it.

[Nina Adams @MrsNAdams]

@lkm_eng @Team_English1 @LitdriveUK We run through each year group and check we’re on track. Share good practice and ideas. Discuss pushing HAS and scaffolding for SEND. Moderate. Plan, do and review SoW. Subject knowledge PD.
There’s never enough time. Department time is so precious.

[Nina Adams @MrsNAdams]

@vjwilsonhead @EngChatUK @Team_English1 @EngMediaCentre The British by Ben Zephaniah for poetry. Some non-fiction from @Sathnam new book, Stolen History, designed for children?

[Nina Adams @MrsNAdams]

Found this podcast from ⁦@emmagannon⁩ and ⁦@brucedaisley⁩ fascinating. Thinking about how these ideas could improve teaching which is in desperate need of a culture change to retain staff. We cannot be our best working 60 hours a week! https://t.co/WdENQR7e1q

[Nina Adams @MrsNAdams]

We are BEYOND excited to be able to teach our students with the @PearsonEdexcel #litincolour books! @Sathnam @malorieblackman and so many wonderful authors! Fits in perfectly with our diverse curriculum!

[Nina Adams @MrsNAdams]

@BodleLisa @HFEDEnglish do a great one where they read aloud the texts they teach or discuss poems https://t.co/D9b26aLiue

[Nina Adams @MrsNAdams]

@TeachingTheVoid Some poetry? Gillian Clarke’s Catrin?

[Nina Adams @MrsNAdams]

I read Empireland and loved it and I’ve really enjoyed reading ‘Stolen History’ by @Sathnam I’m looking forward to weaving some of the content in with our diverse MYP curriculum. So much for students to learn and question!

[Nina Adams @MrsNAdams]

@EngChatUK This is the first full exam we’ve sat since 2019 as last year had dispensation. I feel that my reference points are off and I’m keen to see how harshly (or not) the papers are marked.
