Evidence of making it through my first half term. Being new to a school is a special kind of exhausting but thankfully, I love teaching English wherever I am. Happy half term, all!
Very grateful for the last 5 years that have taught me so much about teaching English. I know everyone thinks their team is the best but mine really is. ❤️

Sat in on a Y8 art lesson today as part of my coaching experience @Manor_School and didn’t want to leave. So impressed with the teacher’s expert modelling through a pre-recorded demo and live drawing / explanation. Students felt empowered to deliver & so did I! 👀
Friday: political allegory in The Kite Runner, Y12 // natural imagery in Sonnet 29, Y11 // the language of Claudio’s rage/pain in Much Ado, Y7.
I like to remind myself how much I LOVE teaching English. Happy Friday everyone! 🙌
So glad I made time for CPD tonight. Thank you @FunkyPedagogy and @EducatedMindsUK for a really practical session on P1 Q5 - I’m rethinking how I teach writing so students reduce that extraneous cognitive load and just write what they know instead!

Successfully ignored the marking pile and most parental duties to sit in the sun and revisit the magic of Manderley, “a jewel in the hollow of a hand.” What a story! 😍
Some brilliantly practical #writingtips here. I took courses with @gothamwriters and Susan Breen 15 years ago and find I still apply the learning today.

One of my personal challenges now I teach secondary English is to retain and pass on the pure joy of sharing stories & crafting language with other people. A blast from the past this wk got me thinking about the importance of developing reflective readers & skilled writers. 💛

The interior experience of reading a novel is personal but it’s highly social too; including us in the author’s setting and conversations with other readers. Thank you @Counsell_C for articulating so beautifully the power of reading rich texts. #EducatingNorthants

Reading Catcher in the Rye to my Year 10s today and had to stop mid chapter 8 so we could all crack up; Holden, with a bloody nose, chatting up his classmate’s mum on a train... it’s such a joy to read to a class and hear them laughing at a story’s quirks. ❤️
