I was 10% braver and accepted a request to write about some of my favourite books for the @gtcsTS magazine I wanted to share many others but with only 4-500 words it was a challenge to whittle down my list. Nervous and excited to see it in print 📚

Will need to get planning and look at some resources to share to develop language while learning outside. Outdoor learning can be an ideal way to encourage language use

@ArtONeachtain @SosSavage Oh dear, I've just realised I promised my friend I would go to a class with her so I won't be able to attend. Gutted 😞

Almost finished planning. It is such a challenge to get the balance right as it's not about me talking about plurilingualism. Looking forward to hosting another community of practice tomorrow and hope to see some familiar and new faces
