MFL teachers, what are you buying your brilliant foreign language assistants as a leaving gift? So far, we have a book of British slang... #mflbluesky #mfltwitterati #edusky #mfledusky

Entering on behalf of my English team who aren't on here but would love this, following a great chat we had about diversifying the curriculum yesterday!

Very jealous of everyone heading to #ALLLanguageWorld this weekend. Hoping to follow lots on here? @all-languages.org.uk

Really exciting to be meeting with Greg Horton and Kathryn Broom this morning to plan our first Allsciow ALL event for the summer! If you're in/nr to Hampshire or on the Isle of Wight, watch this space! #mfltwitterati #mflbluesky #Edusky

This will be a useful read for my ITT cohort, thank you!

It's not bad! I'm the same with celeb authors but given his background in law I thought it would be interesting and I enjoyed it. There's a few more in the series I think. I'm now onto a Cecelia Ahern one.

An easy half term read, a classic 'whodunnit'. I enjoyed the legal insights and always enjoy a mystery!

🇪🇸 Have already re-written our Year 7 scheme of work this morning. Favourite bit of the job is writing curriculum and assessments, I can sometimes always manage to put jobs like this right to the top of the to-do list.

I thought this was excellent. A real demonstration of experience in classroom practice. I'm ITT Lead so it's these little tiny things I often notice are missing, and it's sometimes hard to explain how something so subtle can make a lesson run more smoothly. Thanks for sharing!

Brilliant, thank you. I'll send it round now.

This sounds great, I will share it with our RSLs!

Excellent training last night from Hampshire Governor Services, looking at complaints. A troubling sign of the times that we face ever more complaints from parents. A system that is creaking under the pressure and teams of wonderful people doing their very best for our children. #ukedgovs #govchat

@unisouthampton.bsky.social if you have any contacts at Avenue Campus for MFL outreach for a local secondary school, we'd love to get involved!

Do any of the #mfltwitterati know if the University of Southampton still offer outreach trips for MFL students? I can't find up to date contact details... #edusky #mfl #mflsky #mfledu

Book 1 of 2025 was The Life Impossible by Matt Haig.

Ibiza has a special place in my heart. An enjoyable read, even if I did have to suspend belief for a while which is not in my usual taste of genre.

There are currently two members of staff at my school who I could have taught. Fortunately neither were in my class but we were all there at the same time... It's getting closer!

Yep, no official language. Just checked.
