I've always loved the fact that the word 'sneeze' is the result of a historical accident. The original form, in the Middle Ages, was 'fnese', but someone mistook the 'f' for the long medieval 's' and wrote down 'sn-' instead.

Fneezing sounds much more like a proper, nasal sneeze.

Especially the bit about the type of course and exam we do......

Great piece from @nuthmani.bsky.social on schools’ use of social media and migration to @bsky.app

How can we expand our love to embrace the Earth in every moment, in every landscape? We’re sharing two talks Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee gave last summer at our Shifting Landscapes retreat on this week’s podcast. Listen to “Enraptured with Earth.” emergencemagazine.org/podcast/

@helenmyers.bsky.social you can pin this to your home feed thingy so it appears next to "following"

For new MFL teachers escaping the bad place, here is a feed to find more of us on here and to follow the #MFLBluesky 👏🏻

bsky.app/profile/did:...

Ooo, I have an #MFLBluesky one now too, from a link posted in the other one....

Anyway, to anyone who has just arrived and is not sure what to do, I have no idea either, but I seem to have managed to get a Team Languages feed next to the Following one, so that might be useful if I can find the instructions....

I keep seeing people joining here and if I followed them on the other site it is like seeing old friends even if I have never interacted with them either online or irl! It's all a bit warm and fuzzy! 👋

Completely forgot I had created this account for school......just followed back a lot of followers...well I say a lot, more a handful really, but everyone's gotta start somewhere....

A week of ups and downs in my classroom, and have just given away all my mars bars. Still feeling like I won at this week, not least because a student said I was "zen".

I love the idea of a knowledge party in your head!

Tes magazine is now on Bluesky – as is our editorial team!

Say hello here ⬇️ (1/2)

I just created a resource for an ice breaker involving silhouette pictures of people playing sport. Half way through I realised it was all men I was picking so now there are more women than men. The search results were predominantly men.

I am migrating here from the Other Place, issues with the landlord. Hoping to follow all the educators I was following before.
