If you do French at school, you have a head start with Romanian & Catalan. If you learn German, you open the door to Swedish & Dutch. If you study Spanish, Italian & Portuguese are great sequels. Once you start, there’s no limit to where languages can take you, ‘linguist’ or not.

Let’s not forget that the now discarded algorithm will have certainly upped some CA grades - those students will be (very) disappointed today #alevel2020

I don't know who needs to hear this but... I haven't sorted my classroom out yet. I haven't covered any boards or done displays. I haven't planned the term as I haven't met with year group partners yet. I am an ok teacher, it will be ok. Don't try to measure up to social media.

Almost at the end of the apples... baking for my #mentalhealth

I once thought I'd never learn Arabic script, but now I read & write Persian. Basque grammar seemed mind-boggling at first, but now I teach & translate it regularly. Yes, languages are full of challenges, but don't let those outweigh the life-changing benefits they give you.

Did none of our leaders pay attention during their nativity plays? Rulers—whether Caesar or Herod—only try to ruin Christmas. No-one 'saves Christmas'. Christmas saves us.

I can’t help thinking that ‘keep well hydrated’ and ‘make sure you get a good night’s sleep’ are not at all compatible #Wellbeing

Good job I was feeling the most organised I ever have been for Christmas ... now what to do with a 12lb turkey..🤔?

#virginmedia Virgin Media ❤️ I‘m trying to teach my school students from home, and your cabled, expensive internet, for which we ditched BT, is driving us insane it is so unreliable! We deserve better

What? #homeschooling

#celebritybesthomecook - stop stirring those lovely pans with metal spoons!

#BlossomWatch Magnolia on its way

Be careful of the current Census scam by text telling you that you’ve incorrectly completed your details and will be fined …. Looks credible #bbcmoneybox

#ocado site down?

English lacked the expression, "It's just a bit of harmful fun" but luckily we came up with the word "banter".
