The season is changing and we’re getting ready for autumn! 🍂🎃
I’m especially excited for crunchy leaves, chilly mornings and all the cosy things that come with this time of year.
In our lessons this week, discussing why artists are opposing an AI auction and considering the pros and cons of AI while thinking carefully about when it is appropriate to use it. Meanwhile, other students have been discovering Mr Fox’s plan for a feast and writing a diary entry from Violet Beauregarde’s perspective! 🦊🍫
I currently have a few spaces available. If you’d like to know more about my English lessons, please send me a message.

A trip down the chocolate river!

We planned and wrote a story about Wonka's pink boat travelling down the chocolate river! What could go wrong? I had students create cracks in the candy boat, greedy children jumping overboard and some even spotted Augustus Gloop in the distance!

A great way to practise the skills we've been learning with freedom to plan, create and develop their own masterpiece.

This week, we’re talking about AI 🤖🎨

If someone spends time carefully prompting AI to create a piece of artwork, are they the artist?
Although AI is becoming such a big part of our daily lives, is it fair to use it to create art?

We’ve been exploring these questions through a newspaper article, discussing creativity, originality and ownership. Why do some artists are strongly oppose AI-generated artwork being sold?

There have already been some fascinating discussions in class and I’m looking forward to hearing what Friday’s class has to say!

So, what do you think? Is prompting AI a form of creating?

How lucky am I? ❤️
I get to spend my mornings teaching my brilliant students in Hong Kong and my afternoons with my beautiful daughters.
I genuinely feel so grateful to be able to do what I love while also having that precious time with my girls.
Thank you, as always, for your incredible support. It really does mean so much to me! ❤️

Good luck back to school this week ! ✨
I know lots of you have been back for a couple of weeks now and I hope the new school year is off to a great start!

I’m creating a series of recorded lessons to help with some of those common homework tasks. For the first video and writing lesson, I will help you write stronger, more interesting sentences using adjectives, powerful verbs, similes and metaphors. This is the first of a series of recorded lessons designed to give children a little extra support whenever they need it.

I want to help as many of you as I can, so I’m also very happy to have Miss Lisa back to provide extra speaking practice! These sessions will focus on building confidence with conversation and developing those speaking and debate skills.

Wishing everyone a fantastic start to the new school year! 🌟
Any questions, just let me know! 😊

Can you write a little rhyme?

One of our creative tasks this week has been to write a rhyme about the Roly-Poly bird! He is a very helpful bird that warns the English birds not to sit on Mr Twit's tree!

The students had to explore rhyming words, syllables and rhyme schemes using the story as inspiration!

Have you got a little poem to share? I'd love to read it!

A busy week analysing Shakespeare!

We have been studying the key features of a sonnet and analysed Sonnet 18! This is arguably one of his most famous poems with quotes being used in our daily lives.

It can be daunting when we look at this archaic language but with a little nudge the students were able to translate it into modern english and discuss what he was talking about. This poem celebrates the beauty of something...but people still argue about what that 'something' is. We all had our own ideas!

Excellent work and a great challenge for everyone. Well done!

What a fantastic balanced argument!

After reading a newspaper article about a recent fossil discovery in Thailand, we explored the question: Is discovering a new fossil more important than finding a new living species?

We carefully organised our arguments for and against and sandiwched them with a fantastic introduction and conclusion. Amazing work!

It’s been a busy start to August with a jam-packed summer schedule! ☀️
I hope you’re all having a wonderful summer and making the most of the break. For those of you heading back to school very soon… good luck!
If you’ve sent me a message and I haven’t replied yet, please give me a little nudge! I’m working my way through them all.
Enjoy the rest of the summer!

🌍🦖 This week, our news story is all about an exciting dinosaur discovery in Thailand!

Together, we'll read and discuss the article, learn ambitious vocabulary and answer questions that build impressive WOW sentences. Then, we'll use everything we've learnt to write a fantastic piece of extended writing inspired by the article.

Can't make the live Summer News lessons? I'm currently editing the next recorded lesson, so you'll still be able to join in whenever it suits you! 😊
