@MrsHumanities @ed_podesta I've really struggled this year (my NQT year) and I loved teaching last year and got an outstanding. I feel like all my energy has gone and I'm not certain I want to stay in teaching... I've been teaching a lot outside of my specialism though. Feel like I am doing a rubbish job.

@senorebecca I have a PowerPoint slide with starters and plenaries on. If you let me know you're email I can send you it?

@TheLastLeg #isitok Theresa May sounds like Lord Voldemort with her croaky voice? Expecting the Dark Lord to be on the back of her head and reveal his Brexit plans...

First term done! Exhausted, but it's good to be part of such a lovely team 😊.

[Natalie Rose @NatalieRose003]

@MissSFoster_ I feel your pain 😫. I'm an NQT and have had a few shockers this week too! You've got this. Keep trying new strategies and asking for help when needed.

[Natalie Rose @NatalieRose003]

@HollyWi70824435 @LTUPGCEHistory Thunk questions are quite nice and they usually enjoy it. Should come up if you Google the little book of thunks. Daft questions like 'is a window still a window if it's painted black?'

I am looking forward to the Yorkshire History Forum tomorrow for some refreshing CPD after a difficult start to half term. #NQT

[Natalie Rose @NatalieRose003]

@TheLastLeg @Channel4 #isitok that teachers have to buy supplies for students out of their own pocket? Schools only need the little extras...

[Natalie Rose @NatalieRose003]

@S_Skinner_ No worries. I meant to get a box so they could actually unlock something and have something else inside it, but I haven't managed to do that yet 😂. We're making a History magazine at the moment, but need to recruit more members. Have you found any other games?

[Natalie Rose @NatalieRose003]

@apf102 Thanks Alex! Hope you're well.

[Natalie Rose @NatalieRose003]

First half term as an NQT done! Can't believe this time last year I was worrying about teaching one full lesson 😂.

[Natalie Rose @NatalieRose003]

@Dagenham_ian @apf102 Thanks for the advice 😊. I did this with my form that has some real characters in and they did great still, so I'd definitely recommend it. The visual of the shield wall weakening definitely stuck with them.

[Natalie Rose @NatalieRose003]

@apf102 I used @Dagenham_ian roleplay with Year 7s this week. We reenacted the Battle of Hastings. They loved it, learnt a lot and had some fab follow up discussions 😊. Although one class did get a little too excited!

[Natalie Rose @NatalieRose003]

@apf102 Maybe I should try this to manage behaviour in my English classes... Think I've cracked it and then they're terrible again. I'm running out of ideas.

[Natalie Rose @NatalieRose003]

@apf102 @kenradical @SnelsonH @n_kesterton @gemmahhistory @LTUPGCEHistory Looking forward to it!

[Natalie Rose @NatalieRose003]

@yamyamlen Ah, well they get to shout and jeer so may enjoy it. They're still all sat down though so not total chaos. You need leaders of communist and nazi party too who have to be in charge of their party, so might work nicely if you have some strong characters. Depends on the class...

[Natalie Rose @NatalieRose003]

@DebHoggoz @Team_English1 They did like Solli. It opened up a nice discussion about having to work hard to achieve something too #growthmindset

[Natalie Rose @NatalieRose003]

I'm teaching a poetry lesson for Year 9 tomorrow and want to show them a video of a poetry reading that will get them excited about it. Does anyone have any recommendations? @Team_English1 #TeamEnglish

[Natalie Rose @NatalieRose003]

Thank you for all the suggestions! I can't decide what to show them now 😂
