THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR 🐛🌸🌱🍓

Is there a more perfect story to work on with young learners in Spring? 🤩

These are my fave 3 communicative activities to do after reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

For me, using a craft, puppet or costume makes all the difference! ✨

And personalisation, of course! That's the key to getting students to use the new language… For example, ask: what did YOU eat on Monday? What did YOU eat during today's break?

If you have any other ideas, share them in the comments!!! 📩

It was such a wonderful experience to attend the XI International Conference on Bilingual Education and Foreign Languages in Ciudad Real with Richmond ELT Spain! 📚✨🇪🇸

I met so many amazing teachers who put so much love into their work and are constantly striving to improve.

I also finally got to meet my colleagues from Richmond face-to-face!

I was in charge of interviewing different people from the bilingual education field in Spain, which helped me gain valuable insight into the diverse contexts and realities across the country.

If you’re a teacher too, I truly encourage you to attend these kinds of events. They're a fantastic opportunity to refresh your teaching practice, discover new materials, learn from others, and get inspired to try new things!
