Nicky Gale @nicnaks79.bsky.social · 23/11/2025#WeeklyWins I set revision cover for my year 12 FM class (thanks @drbennison.bsky.social for the revision clock/videos). They were free to do the work wherever they liked. One of the students sent me some photos of lots of them working in the classroom together ‘locked in’ using the big whiteboards 051
Nicky Gale @nicnaks79.bsky.social · 23/11/2025#weeklywins I raided physics and used actual equipment to teach moments to my year 13s and it worked well! #alevelmaths 092

Nicky Gale @nicnaks79.bsky.social · 24/05/2025Every year I play the Mcfly song ‘it’s all about you’ when I teach integration by substitution, so I loved that they remembered it in this card! I also love the Toucan-Newton substitution!! 🦜🍎 #ALevelMaths 2120
