Since my 2nd year of teaching I find the most useful way to note feedback is have a blank copy of the exam paper and as I mark, I make notes of the good and the bad - names of great answers who I need to celebrate or common mistakes which I need to readdress or even fully reteach

Brazil launched the "Amazonia" tourism brand for one of the country's largest regions.
It was made with letters composed by the Amazon river and captured from a satellite.

China can't buy oil because Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz and so they will buy it from the Russians. Russia will make a lot of money from this war. If Zelensky doesn't reopen the Friendship Pipeline, we Hungarians will have enough oil. But where does Europe get oil from?

Today with my lower band Y8 (Y7 in Eng) we turned to creative writing (not just for English lessons!) but instead using OS map symbols to help to tell their stories ๐บ๏ธ๐
Was so pleased with how they did!

Spotted one of my pupilโs folders had these stickers on them and I thought it was a genius was to support pupils like her who have organisation issues - so simple and very effective in telling her immediately what days her books are needed.

Canโt remember who or where I saw these writing frame strips but I find they are the best way to get my reluctant Y9s (Y8 in England) to do extended writing - this terms topic - population and the one child policy. ๐จ๐ณ

Starting this term with my Y9 studying coasts- today we are looking at waves and what influences their size. A great opportunity to bring out earth.nullschool.net to see in real time where in the world there are some strong winds and even bigger waves!
