Lots of fantastic entries from the end of last week and today! Including a dance routine with balloons, captain armbands, child development key word bingo and questioning using a pig and a football β½οΈ π· Tomorrowβs challenge is all about positive phone calls!!
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
The T&L advent calendar started this week! Staff entries to follow... #teaching #alwayslearning
Some more thought provoking big questions... great examples of gathering thoughts at the start of the lesson.
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

βYou donβt have to be right, but you have to tryβ. 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?
Thanks to @NevNuncJam who presented ways to positively rephrase and avoid confrontations with students. Hereβs to being a #PositivePaula #behaviourmanagement

@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?
Effective engagement Effective feedback, itβs worth to plan it in your lesson! Thank you @NevNuncJam xitter.cf/nevnuncjam/status/1006β¦
Quick 2 minute idea on increasing engagement during feedback. Shared already with @EllisBUZZ and @EGuilfordCPL with great feedback from staff. #Teachingandlearning #mfltwitterati #mfl #teachingideas
A way to βinspireβ your students #literacyfocus#challenge#Q&A Buzz Session @EllisBUZZ
Thank you! I used your Q&A technique with my year 7 groups yesterday @NevNuncJam , I must admit it set the class on π₯ and end result was deep answers to my basic questions! It surely helped them give a detailed answer!
