@JoanneMc23 @Team_English1 Oh they’ve just gone! But we’re having a bit of a clear out so I’ll message you if I find any more!

Is there a school or library who would like a class set of these for free? They're in very good condition and we don't want them to go to waste! @Team_English1

A good start for year 11 I think and a fair paper. Onto the next!

@CorbynCrow I went Edam but it was very tough call between that and roquefort

@AnnaFazack1 This is fabulous!

I looked through all the old episodes of Radio 4's In Our Time.

I collected the links to all episodes that might be useful to English teachers.

I put them into one document: https://t.co/IruI4y9kmq

There's a lot! Enjoy!

We have a 'fun Friday' each week at break/lunch designed to put a smile on students' faces. Karaoke, treasure hunts, donuts, competitions etc. We are looking for ideas for this year. Does anyone do anything similar and happy to share your ideas?
