After playing the game they will then answer the enquiry question: does national wealth correlate to elite football success, or can smaller/poorer nations successfully bridge the gap? Once they have worked out their Spearman’s Rank coefficient they will then answer their analysis.

Can we really decolonise geography if we don’t start with decolonising languages in our classroom? Asked that question today on LinkedIn and would love to hear how you’re supporting your multilanguage learners.

My daughter has a new PYP unit coming up investigating how humans impact local environment. Together we designed her first survey123, went & investigated the park & she wrote her first StoryMap! Not bad for a kid just turned 7. storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/ec39... #geographyteacher #PYP

Great lesson today using translanguaging. Statements given to students. Worked in silence for 10 minutes as they translated to English, drew an image to rep statement & then put together as group cartoon. This lesson introduced our assessment for Türkiye earthquake #geographyteacher #EAL

Decoding is an important skill for bilingual learners. It also makes me think - who are the notes for? How are you decoding as part of translanguaging in your lessons? #geographyteacher #EAL #bilingual #multilingual

I can’t even spell this morning 😂 did you try the tool? Also if you’re into bread making you should try focaccia - there’s a lovely cinnamon roll style bread recipe going around.

In all honesty I think my students are exhausted. Some getting on the school bus at 6.15am. School not finished until 4. Extra sports after school or music lessons. How do we work with those students who don’t even eat dinner until 8?
