I’m beyond excited to be able to share these amazing resources with you all 😃 Throughout the last week, a fabulous group of MFL teachers has been working their socks off in my challenge “Sell your first online resource in a week” and this is the result.

This week’s game of the week is hot seat! And don’t worry, you don’t actually need to set a chair on fire in your classroom 🤣🤣 (Thanks to canva AI for this image btw 🔥) How to play “hot seat”… 1

We used the names released by exam boards for the new GCSE and written boy/girl underneath to increase familiarity with the list of names. ( Again the idea is stolen from someone else but I can't remember who). It really works its magic ! They even say "bonjour / au revoir Alessandro "

Tickets for my next online workshop are now on sale! In the workshop I'll cover the absolute no-nos when it comes to marking and feedback & what to do instead. From how to check for understanding during a lesson, to giving effective in-class feedback, to time-saving tips for written marking.

Which one would you go for?! Comment the number below 👇

I just played a game of “Mastermind” using this sentence builder-type PPT slide and reminded myself of what a great game it is! The way I’ve always played it is as follows (I’m sure other variations are available) 1/3

It’s taken me two days to realise that I’ve written Late instead of Kate in this post 🤣😂🤦‍♀️

I've uploaded to my YouTube channel my contribution to @katelanguages.bsky.social phonics webinar: Phonics in the Key Stage 2 National Curriculum www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHsj... #mflbluesky Of interest to secondary teachers who might want to see what we have to do and how we do it in primary.

If you didn’t catch it, you can watch the webinar back on my website katelanguages.co.uk - it’s with my free resources ☺️

This morning I had the pleasure of taking part in @katelanguages.bsky.social's Teaching Phonics in MFL Show & Tell webinar, where I delivered a presentation on using Magic Padlet for phonics activities in French, German, and Spanish.

Today looks like: my son’s nativity play 😍😍🫏 (he was the donkey!), a potter around Stamford, home for lunch and a couple of hours work before school pick up. Maybe a bit more work this evening 🤔

Today looks like: quick walk between school drop off and reflexology, creating Edexcel role-play booklets, teaching a Spanish lesson, attempting to do some Christmas shopping (online!) 🧑‍🎄🎄🎁

Today looks like: walk with a friend and her dogs after school drop off, working ON my business (finances, goals, reflections), planning my show and tell workshop for Saturday, making some vocab booklets, Zoom call with a mentor in Australia at 9pm 😃 Happy Monday, all y’all!

Today looks like: having a lazy morning, planning out my social media advent calendar (24 sets of top tips in December), responding to Black Friday enquiries and last minute invoice requests 😍 I’m feeling very thankful today after an incredible response to my BF sale yesterday ☺️

My Black Friday sale is live until midnight on 29/11/24! 60% off everything on my website - enter the code BF60 at the checkout 🎁 Katelanguages.co.uk/store

Today looks like: spending 45 mins getting home from school drop off 😫😫😫, teaching 2 Spanish lessons, working on my digital course “Structuring an outstanding MFL lesson”, and manning 2 email addresses (mine and my assistant’s) as my Black Friday sale is now LIVE!

Today looks like: planning a GCSE Spanish lesson for tomorrow, creating lessons to upload to my website (I’m aiming for 9 - 3 in each language - do we think I’ll manage it?), smear test (haha is this TMI?! But very important to do). But first… tea 🫖 Have a great Wednesday ☺️

Today looks like: working on role-play booklets for the new French, German and Spanish AQA GCSEs. I’m trying out a new thing where I focus on one thing a day - I’ll let you know how it goes!

Today looks like: doing my numbers and reflection for last week in my business, setting goals for the week ahead, writing vocab booklets, watching an online course about Instagram, making a veggie bolognaise for dinner. Happy Monday, everyone ☺️

Just been to see Paddington in Peru at the cinema with Mr 4yo and friends. I know it’s had some negative reviews but we loved it! 😍🐻🇵🇪

Today looked like: taking my son to school for the first time since Monday 😃, scheduling lots of social media and emails about my Black Friday sale, finishing & uploading a Spanish vocab booklet, homemade soup for lunch with my husband (watching Bake Off Extra Slice). And now… it’s the weekend 💃🥳😃

Next Friday, I’m having a massive Black Friday sale - 60% off everything on my website! This means that you’ll be able to get a yearly subscription to French, German or Spanish resources for just £38.80 🤯

Today looks like: recording a podcast episode with @teachsleeprepeat.bsky.social and then looking after the poorly child for the rest of the day. Said poorly child is getting much better and will hopefully be back at school tomorrow 🤞

I’ve only been using this app properly for a few weeks and I’ve already had to delete a few random/creepy DMs 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Why? Why do people send these messages?! Does anyone ever respond to them?! 🤷‍♀️

Today does not look anything like the day that was in my calendar/diary… which involved a brand photoshoot at Burghley. Instead, today looks like: trying to get a dr appt for my son as he now seems to have an ear infection 😢 Nothing else matters at this point - work will hopefully resume tomorrow 🤞

Today looks like: snuggling on the sofa with a poorly 4yo, attempting to teach a Spanish lesson without interruption, hoping I don’t come down with the same cold 🤧 Today doesn’t look like: snow 😭

Do we think this would be helpful in all 3 languages and both exam boards? I’ve just been preparing for an online CPD session I’m delivering this afternoon on AQA Spanish speaking and decided to create this document for the teachers.

Happy Monday, y’all 😃 Today looks like: brisk walk after school drop off, making new GCSE resources, finishing the PPT for the bespoke online CPD on GCSE speaking I’m delivering this afternoon, & hoping we don’t get a phone call to pick up our son from school (he has a bit of a cough this morning 😬)

What an event in Manchester!! Remember you can this be online for free via the link below: streamyard.com/watch/BApdij... #TTRMFL Look at some of the great pictures from today!

To continue with book recommendations (you can never have too many), what are you reading right now and would you recommend it? I’ll go first: Funny Story by Emily Henry and yes, I’d recommend it as an easy read, fairly predictable (this is not a criticism) and great for busy, tired minds 📚

Audiobook fans! I have some Audible credits to use up - any recommendations for good books, read well, please? Fiction or non-fiction but nothing gory, fantasy or involving mythical creatures 🤣
