Bernadette spoke extremely highly of the languages staff at her own school and made us all feel better about ourselves through reminding us of all the very wide range of skills and attributes which teachers use on a daily basis (actor, manager, writer etc etc) and of a national context which does not make things easier for us. Link to ppt to follow.
It is heartening to know that there are Headteachers like
Bernadette, who look further afield than their own school and join with other heads to ‘represent’ the
languages perspective at a ‘higher level’.
Thanks Bernadette for the extra work you do on our behalf and for the
overt support you give teachers.

Two fun and productive
‘ice-breaker’ activities. (1): Two
truths and a lie (or something like that!).
Tell your neighbour three things about yourself. Two are true one is not. The neighbour has to guess which is the
lie. (2) On one post-it write a resource
which you would recommend to others; on the other write what your biggest
challenge is at the moment. Pass to different sides of the room for
display and eventual transferral to document.
Dan proved to be the perfect ‘host’. Pacey, lively, supportive, and a man with an
interesting lifestyle judging by the ‘truths’ he shared about himself!
