Just had a fantastic session on creative writing to promote the power of play and divergent thinking in the English classroom. Thank you @laukidd for sharing your creativity and knowledge.
It was fantastic to see over 70 school based mentors join us to consider and share their practice. So much passion and compassion evident in their support for trainee teachers 👏👏 👏
Great to have St Mary's University PGCE and MA alumni John Andrews presenting a webinar to the current Secondary PGCE cohort on how to support pupils with medical needs in the classroom. John's perspective as a nurse, teacher and researcher provides rare insight into this area.
Today is #NationalPoetryDay and the beginning of Black History Month.
To celebrate, this morning we’ll be showcasing some lyrical, political, relatable and fantastical verses from our collections, all penned by black poets.
We'd love to hear your favourite poetry quotes, too.
We are looking forward to seeing our final year MA student presentations tomorrow. It is going to be wonderful hearing all about their research. Keeping going with their research during these challenging times has not been easy. What an amazing group of students!
