This mornings Buzz Breakfast was a carousel activity. Staff brought different ideas that they used in their classroom. Ranging from retrieval practise, practical learning, vocabulary games and annotation frames! #teachingandlearning #teaching #alwayslearning

Another entry from R.E., this time with the use of exit tickets... a great example of how post-it notes can be used to consolidate ideas and gather the thoughts of an entire class! #teaching

Challenged to use a big question as a starter in lesson through @EllisBUZZ T&L advent Calendar . Used this. Students discussed war, bombs, WWII, equality, language evolution and future ambitions. #mfltwitterati

โYou donโt have to be right, but you have to tryโ. Simple phrases repeated to students on a daily/weekly basis can really change the culture of your classroom. What phrase(s) do you use to inspire your kids? #Ukedchat #mfltwitterati

This week was all about #positivity. How we use our words to avoid confrontation, model respect and encourage is key. Fun starter for the team, positively rephrasing songs. Recognise it?

Great to see pics of out #afl strategy being used around the UK @EllisBUZZ @EGuilfordCPL Look out for new videos each Mon!
@NevNuncJam @Harrisgeography thought it was great. Pretty sure they used it for recall at the start of the lesson and they said it really improved engagement. Thoughts @Harrisgeography?

Ramadan is over. Eid is tmrw. Please remember to ask your students on Monday if they had a lovely Eid. And it would be great if you said Eid Mubarak to them.

Thank you! I used your Q&A technique with my year 7 groups yesterday @NevNuncJam , I must admit it set the class on ๐ฅ and end result was deep answers to my basic questions! It surely helped them give a detailed answer!
