✨ MAGIC MOMENTS ✨ When you've made 'self-reflection' such an embedded routine, then you see a student has written this after their task without any prompts! 😭❤️🙏✨ #proudofmyself

Exploring the seven deadly sins through the characters of #AIC 👌 #teamenglish #litdrive

Common misspellings with my year 7s. This turned into a hilarious learning moment and I can't remember why but I've never seen 30 students so engaged as they corrected spellings 🤣✨ #teamenglish

Considering methods and effect, clearly, with year 7. A quick 🟢 green pen key 🟢 and thinking out loud and the learning was apparent when they wrote their own and identified 🟢 effect in theirs. 🙏✨ #teamenglish

Unfortunately, I meet students who have a very narrow minded view on what immigrants/asylum seekers are. This #Netflix series does an outstanding job at showing the realities of their lack of choice. Wow. Warning: tissues ready for ep4. A dystopian drama of tech, politics & more.

Three separate students from three separate classes (y9+10) handing in extra essays and practice papers before their end of year assessments. They see year 11 handing in and they are copying, it's so good to see. 🤩🙌

Absolutely loved our department cpd based on the second episode of Steplab 🙌 highly recommend the three free available episodes for you and your team. 👌✨ #ukedchat #teamenglish

...and inspired by something I saw on Steplab, I recreated it with HFC branding. It parallels with Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs - where the top is 'self-actualisation' and students struggle to truly grasp that concept - this in context of their #behaviour choices. #teaching

Mental health awareness was today's form spiritual service 💓🌷🧠 my form are so caring and creative. 🌻💝 #pastoral #formtutor #formtime

Goodbye, class of 2025. 🎓🎈🎉

Far too generous and far too pretty to eat 😍 What a kind gift from a truly wonderful student. ✨ #classof2025

That time again, so soon? Deeeeep breath. #iykyk

Trialling a literal talking framework... I asked students to write their suggestions for each gap on their mini whiteboard one at a time to check understanding and correct/upgrade. It was a great strategy: unpicked a few gaps! Reflection: use boxes instead of silly, tiny lines.🤦‍♀️

Young carers, we were thinking of you and praying for you this week ✨❤️ #youngcarers

Memento Mori 💭 Fantastic film bursting with symbolism and the philosophy of life. #28YearsLater

Had lots of fun using semantic fields, personification, extended metaphor and beautifully ambitious vocabulary today with 7P1! 😎 Green pen to finish and some comparative modelling to finish. 🖋️ #teamenglish

#Reading for pleasure with y7 and summarising for pleasure too. 📚 "Find your favourite quotation that made you feel something and find the methods." Then we identified feelings of the protagonist in the flowers she picked for mum - to remember a poignant moment. 💐#teamenglish

Chapter 5 of The #GreatGatsby complete! It is sooo exciting. Year 9 are HOOKED. Absolutely loving teaching this text. 🙏🙌 📢 Something to encourage students to realise they DO enjoy reading for pleasure - "put a heart around the most romantic quotation and think about why".

Happy Oasis-on-tour day 🤘🎶 #Wellbeingday was just what we needed! Kids being kids and practising positive mental attitudes and mindfulness. 🙏✨

✨ Happy Well-being Day! ✨ If you do not make time for your wellness, you will be forced to make time for your illness! 🧠 Your mental health matters. 🩷
