As I was walking home from school today a car pulled up in traffic behind me with a smiling young lady shouting and waving 'Mrs Francisco!' So lovely to see her smile and hear an ex Unity Academy pupil is doing well 🥰

I didn't think I would be saying this but 5 hours of teaching about gonorrhoea to year 10 was one of our best days of learning! 99% of them engaged, asking great questions and doing all written work. Now for the challenge... to get the same level of interest for plant diseases!

Is anyone else strangely enjoying teaching the same lesson 5 times a week? I'm finding it really good to immediately reflect and implement changes to the same lesson within a short space of time. Teach First Ambassadors @TeachFirstNW BEACH

I can't help but love the enthusiasm of Unity Academy Year 6! Lots of participation and great questions from inquisitive students during our pluck (heart, lung and liver) dissection ♥️ #STEM #Biology

It is so lovely to see students and parents/carers sending photos in already, with reasons for taking part such as "learning as a family and watching it grow" "To grow beans that we can eat" Unity Academy #BSW21 Here is mine on day 5 🌱

The perfect place for the first in person BEACH meet 🏖🎣 Rob Fisher Mrs Francisco

Teach First Know that no pupil wakes up just wanting to be “your problem” …try and remember that there is always something far bigger going on than you. (#HaveFun☺️)

Great thread for new and old teachers alike... I hope everyone's first week is going well. Don't forget if you are feeling overwhelmed there are so many people around you that will listen. Our DMs are always open too 😊

If you shop at Morrisons please can you consider donating your 'It's good to grow' tokens (via the app) to Unity Academy Together lets get Unity growing! The pupils will be putting together a wish list this week so let's make them smile as they watch the tokens roll in. 🌱🌻
