Using the Globe’s 2014 production for my year 10 Macbeth lessons. Found this little gem for my PTT on Banquo 🤓 #EnglishTeacher #Tolkien #Macbeth @BillyBoydActor

@read_through this is brilliant! @joelycett brilliant portrayal of the porter! All Shakespeare should be performed with a Brummie accent!

[Mrs Brookes @mrssjbrookes]

So proud of my niece being star of the week!

@joelycett @Pearlie_mack @read_through @joelycett thank you so much for this! It has been really difficult to engage our students with Macbeth through remote learning. Very excited for this! Please tell me you are reading the part of the porter! 🤞🤞🤞

[Mrs Brookes @mrssjbrookes]

Great CPD today! Thank you @LHanson1711. Also, thank you to @BournvilleSch for making the @FairfaxSWA english team feel so welcome. #excellence @englishSW

@AQAEnglish please consider staff and student workload and stress!

From AQA:

@AQAEnglish @GeographyMrI @AQA @ofqual @AQAEnglish you would have also known that many schools require detailed outlines for each year before the school year starts - so departments had no choice but to make plans based on the @ofqual guidance as you had provided none.

[Mrs Brookes @mrssjbrookes]

@AQAEnglish @GeographyMrI @AQA @AQAEnglish you knew what the media had been saying and knew what the @ofqual document said and yet you still did not confirm until two weeks into the term afterwe have already started teaching a text we are going to have to drop - haven’t this cohort gone through enough?

[Tracey Henry @TraceyH45205038]

@AQAEnglish @AQA shocking decision. Disgraceful to announce this 2 weeks into the term-Y11 are already at a massive disadvantage having missed 5 months of teaching. As a parent: infuriating, as a professional:disgusting. You continue to treat teachers with such disregard and disrespect.

[Mrs Brookes @mrssjbrookes]

@AQAEnglish @AQAEnglish really poor decision - all the planning we have put in ready for this has gone to waste and more work for our staff and stress for our students.

[Mrs Brookes @mrssjbrookes]

@MrBruffEnglish Julius Caesar - amazing!

[Mrs Brookes @mrssjbrookes]

@AQA @AQAEnglish The information you emailed said Spoken Language Endorsement to go ahead as normal, is this still the case? If so when will the window open?

[Mrs Brookes @mrssjbrookes]

In school today doing some origami and mindful colouring with our students and had my portrait done by a year 7, think he did an ace job! - he even added my Doggy Ted ☺️ @englishSW @FairfaxSWA
