Made some simple learning journey posters for my classroom, so pupils can keep track of where we are in the year. My plan is to put the specific skills around the outside ๐ญ๐

Group work is a requirement in my subject. However pupils are assessed individually and record their own contributions. Teaching pupils how to participate in group work is the key.
Did you know
#thetraitors
is based on a popular Drama game? You might know it as Mafia or Werewolf, but itโs been played in Drama classes for decades! I recently updated my game cards from the werewolves and my Drama Club have been loving it! ๐ญ
The negativity surrounding creative and practical subjects creates and elitism amongst, staff students and parents in schools. These subjects are often looked down upon and seen as a โnon academicโ or โeasyโ option, when in fact this is not the case.
Whilst everyone is enjoying

it might be worth reminding you that entertainment like this comes from a huge team of creative and technical minds. The Arts are SO important in school, support them!

Teaching is not a competition. Our subjects are not in competition. We should be there to learn from each other, support each other and admire the challenges and successes in each otherโs curricular areas.
S3 Drama have been preparing courtroom dramas based on the trial of Ryan McGregor in Noughts & Crosses. We will see how these all play out tomorrow, with only the Judge knowing the outcome, to be revealed live in the performance! ๐ญ

The perception that somehow the teachers of these subjects do less work is incredibly unfair and untrue. Preparing for practical lessons require a significant amount of time. Often these are the departments that run hours and hours of extra curricular clubs and shows.
Many students struggle with confidence, creative thinking, problem solving, team and group work, resilience, literacy skills, self evaluation, social skills. All of which are practiced in creative subjects.
Had a little party for our seniors after all their hard work and they surprised me with this lovely card! Theyโve been such a joy to work with this year ๐ฅณ๐ญ๐ฅฐ

was fantastic and all of the kids around us were gasping, pointing and just in complete awe of the magic.โจ Also very excited to have finally seen

on stage after LOVING reading their debut play! ๐ ๐ฅฐ
I hope, if you are one of these people that has this view, that you pay a visit to your creative arts department, your PE department to learn first hand about the incredible work they do every day.
I noticed a few drama teachers reaching out for support tonight. A few of us have got a little group over on teachergram. If anyone wants added just let me know!

Thereโs something so special about a class deciding collectively without my instruction to sit on the floor and enjoy each others puppet show rehearsals today. Itโs been great to see them laughing and finding the joy in storytelling

The constant negative and belittling view of these subjects is a disservice to the hard working and passionate teachers that deliver engaging and exciting lessons in a busy environment, always going above and beyond to do the best for their pupils.
@ZoeParamour
Yep! I paid ยฃ1.50 for my pumpkin (I got four) I think itโs a fun experience that more people are doing due to the increase of promotion on social media. Itโs good to support local growers and itโs harmless ๐ฅฐ๐
Senior Drama went to the theatre virtually today and got some Christmas treats whilst they watched their examined production! ๐ญ๐โ๏ธ

So today our wonderful Drama NQT
@missinnesdrama
became a fully fledged teacher. Let us tell you, if we could keep her we would because we think she's outstanding (and a brilliant baker too) โค๐โค๐
It's time for another classroom game to play! This one is called 'people, shelter, storm' and is a great warm up/running around game. You might want to save this one to play outside or in a bigger space โ๏ธ
