After last year’s jaw-dropping 86 students for Y12 Latin enrichment, THIS year’s list is currently just over 100!!! 😱 So I’m back behind the lecturn in the hall. It is all a bit unbelievable!!

I don’t think you realise, till you have kids doing GCSEs, just how horrifically stressful they are for students. My daughter is on her knees this evening because she has Maths on mon and then chem and hist on Tues. Too much content 😩

Lying in bed with covid, trying to focus on positives. My highlight of the term was teaching 87 students beginners Latin in the hall each week! Have ended up with 44 wanting to continue and sit Entry Level after Christmas! 😍

Signed off our first Latin Entry Level cohort yesterday! So proud that we’ve gone from nothing to 32 students in a year. Delighted with what they’ve achieved with limited teaching! 😍

I left 4 years ago, divorced for one year. Same as you, financially so much worse off but emotionally so much better…feel like I’ve got me back. It’s hard but so glad I finally plucked up the courage.

I'm trying to use the lockdown to create a series of WOW slides for the different GCSE texts I teach, focusing on developing tier 2 vocabulary. Here's what I've done for AIC. Currently working on Macbeth and then J&H/ poetry. Help yourself:

My best friend at school died from a brain tumour. Day he died he had such a bad headache: tried to tell the teachers something wasn’t right. Offered to walk him home but he said he was ok. Died that night. Over 40 years ago now but I still mourn his loss 😢

In my marker training the principal examiner said the key words 'the writer thinks/ feels' really help focus the response. So I get students to write adjectives in the margin as they're reading the extracts then highlight the words in paragraph that show this. Has really helped.
