Well into the regional identity topic now with year 12. Tomorrow out comes this gem of a book as we look at somewhat outdated regional stereotypes with 80 adjectives and lots of data, this would be perfect if you study Ocho Apellidos!🇪🇸

A signed Almodóvar in my local bookshop in Monmouth 🤩

Some absolute corkers from the writing mock to present back to year 11 tomorrow. We’re going to play “busca alguien que…”

Agree/disagree cards linked to education and employment (el paro juvenil, los ninis etc). Using these tomorrow with year 12 to develop some responses in oracy. www.tes.com/teaching-res...

A rock ‘n’ roll Friday night working on some new chapters for the second edition of the grammar workbook. I got bored of the same old grammar drills so checked through @spsmith45.bsky.social’s new book which instantly breathed some new life into a chapter on the future perfect. amzn.eu/d/cyxtLjN

Some really nice displays of fair play, etiquette and respect today at chess club. Everything was going swimmingly during our annual blitz tournament until everybody noticed a bird had got into the school. #chess

Random one but my Spanish started to peak when I found this album back in 2013. Banging album.

Spanish teachers/learners, have I butchered this explanation? I've spent a few hours over the last week trying to get this right but passive se structures are not easy! There is a follow up page for plural objects and some practice tasks. Thanks!

Tried something different with KS3 this week. We made, designed and annotated our own clocks with key time-related language on the back. Yes, it took a while to make them but it has gone down so well. Next up: daily routine and time together. #mflbluesky

An unexpected guest visits the nativity scene at my son’s nursery. How long he remains there only time will tell…

All adjectives from the specification ready for year 11 on Friday. Asked GPT to extract all adjectives from the entire course word list and make a nice little table to be completed. Thanks for the idea @theniceman.bsky.social 🇪🇸🤝https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-13156402

A crazy day. Completely blocked in by a flood and unable to leave our road apart from a trail into town to see the river reach crazy high levels. #Monmouth

A great advert for Wales from the Welsh exam board WJEC.

Wintry scenes on the way to work this morning.

I've started work on a second edition to my grammar workbook with an introduction to the present perfect subjunctive including practice with regular and pronominal verbs. Year 12 really impressed with it today! Four pages for free here: www.tes.com/teaching-res... 🇪🇸 #MFLBlueSky

Interesting times ahead with the upcoming GCSE changes in Wales. I'm looking forward to dropping some of the stuff I love doing at A Level down to KS4. The big question is, with so much freedom here, which graphic novel, novel, film script or short story to go for? 🇪🇸 #MFLBlueSky #WJEC
