A pleasure to write for @TeachPrimary again. This time a set of lesson plans for engaging pupils in language learning through food 🍊🥭🍍🥑🍌.
18 Dec 2025
Bringing language learning to life through food tasting is an excellent way to engage pupils. In this free medium-term plan from @ECCMFL, pupils taste a range of fruits and communicate their likes and dislikes in French... teachwire.net/teaching-resou…

No need for expensive @Education_NI pouches in this classroom in Germany which I visited today 🇩🇪! The Handy-hotel is ausgebucht! And it works! Never seen as warm and positive relationships between pupils and teachers 🤗

I congratulate St Edmund's Catholic School for being awarded its new status as an Attendance & Behaviour Hub by the Department for Education.
This Labour Government has acknowledged the dedication and excellent work of this school, which will now spread best practice to others across our city, supporting children to achieve and thrive. 👇🏻

Life has changed beyond all recognition. I don't know where to even start. There's not much I can do for myself attached to a chest drain and feeding tube. Two Stage IV head & neck cancers, now a collapsed lung and multi-organ failure. It has been relentlessly hard and I'm lucky to be here. Please continue to support and share if you can, we are more than grateful for any help. Hetty says hi!

Top 10 research-backed grammar teaching techniques. Effective grammar teaching combines more than one technique. In EPI we use nearly all of them, from input enhamcement and input processing in the Modelling and Awareness phases (MA) of the MARS EARS to task-based instruction in the Structured Production and Routinization stages (the first S and the R phases). (from my upcoming Evidence-based Grammar Instruction workshop in Adelaide, Australia, on 17th October).
