So impressed with our students learning Spanish. Parallel texts, Sentence builders, constant repetition and drilling of pronunciation and chunks of vocabulary. A couple of mistakes when writing from memory but compared to this time last year...wow!! #mfltwitterati #mflKOcpd

@missfrge We're not allowed to move from the front, which is so hard and goes against everything I ever do! MWBs are great and we've been so reliant on those recently. We do learning check quizzes too, but I still don't feel confident! Might have to explore both options further!

[Catherine Sloan @mrssloanmfl]

One thing I'm really struggling with at the moment is knowing exactly where my students are in lessons in terms of their learning. Anyone have any COVID friendly tips? Live marking clearly out the window! #mfltwitterati

[Catherine Sloan @mrssloanmfl]

@clindsayteacher @joedale We don't have devices in lessons, otherwise this would have been a fab idea!

[Catherine Sloan @mrssloanmfl]

@SDiazMFL @joedale Oh I'll have to have a chat about this and see if we're allowed to do it! Sounds a great plan though, thank you!

[Catherine Sloan @mrssloanmfl]

@stevesingapore Unfortunately not!

End of the second week of our new curriculum for MFL and using parallel texts and sentence builders. The difference we are already seeing in our students' pronunciation and memorisation is amazing. Thanks so much to @katielockett @cathsbruv @mr_cloche for your amazing CPD!

@clarecaio_ Goodbye Lenin is amazing, and actually so is die fetten Jahre sind vorbei. I did both for A-Level myself and there was so much to say about both films.

Just saying now that I'm one of many teachers who do not want schools to send all students home again. Teaching in a classroom, albeit in a visor, is SO much better compared to teaching from home.

Waking up and realising it's not Saturday has to be the hardest way to start a Friday 😴😴

[Catherine Sloan @mrssloanmfl]

@joshfinneran Wow! Amazing achievement! 👏

[Catherine Sloan @mrssloanmfl]

After 5 full days of wearing heels and being a roaming teacher, it's safe to say that my feet have never been more thankful for a chilled Saturday

@katielockett As long as there are some vegetables of sorts in your takeaway, you should be fine!

Best part of my day in my new role? Ringing parents to tell them how many praise points their children have and making their day ❤

You're not JUST an NQT!
You're not JUST a teaching assistant!
You're not JUST a teacher!
You're not JUST a dinner supervisor!
You're not JUST a librarian!
You're not JUST office staff

Know you are never JUST anything!

You're something to everyone

To some you're everything!

[Catherine Sloan @mrssloanmfl]

@HFooteMFL @MrsWardMFL Yes!! I've been thinking about how to do this as a "sit in your seat" activity and this is brilliant! Thank you for the inspiration!

@laurabuckley83 @stammer_teacher This is one of my favourite quotes and one I tend to use alot!
