  • All Change

    Change is something which affects us all on both a small and large scale, sometimes we choose to change a routine or habit or sometimes we are faced with change in a much more dramatic or life-changing way. I recently was discussing ‘change’ with friends and colleagues and it got me wondering,  is it the actual […]

  • Learning Attitudes

    Fostering positive attitudes towards learning is as crucial to young learners as any other piece of knowledge or skill I can share, so weekly assembly is the perfect space in which to do so as a Primary School community. We started off the school year with introducing two of our Learning Attitudes, Independence & Confidence. […]

  • Learn to Listen, Listen to Learn!

    School seems eerily quiet at the moment, you know that feeling when something just isn’t quite right? Well, the thing is, we have yet to actually welcome any students into school for the new term and, in reality, a school is not really a school at all unless you have students. I had blogged about […]

  • Appreciation

    Handing yourself over to be a student in a completely new discipline or unfamiliar territory can be daunting and this was where I found myself this summer during my Yoga Teacher Training at YogaWorks in Soho, NYC. The whole experience has taught me such a lot as both an educator and as a learner, and […]

    No Expectations

    Expectations. Think for a moment about what you expect from yourself, your students, your family, your friends & your colleagues. As an educator I have a lot of expectations, of myself, my colleagues and my students. I would convey the idea that I had ‘high expectations’ – I think wanting to empower myself and others to […]

  • Student Driven Inquiry – Process vs Product

    Last month in the Primary School we found ourselves in the midst of the Year 6 Exhibition; which is essentially a student driven, inquiry-based research project that extends over a period of approximately 12 weeks. It overwhelms both students and teachers and engulfs us all in questions, that create yet more questions, challenges and of […]

  • BETT & the Blogging Journey

    As I listened to the presentation by Head of ICT, John Jones (@mrjonesICT ) http://ict.ismonacoblog.org/2013/01/31/to-blog-or-not-to-blog-the-ism-question/ that charted the highs and lows of the blogging journey our school has been traveling along at the Bett 2013 Exhibition, I was struck by a number of things. Firstly, the immense progress that can be made in a relatively short […]

  • Reflecting on BETT 2013

    So, I survived my first BETT show, I navigated the maze (quite literally a maze!) of stands, speakers and technological wonder and made it through, overwhelmed, exhausted but most definitely inspired and restored! Interestingly, all of this without actually knowing what BETT stood for… I mean I had a guess, a pretty good idea what […]

  • Enriching Comprehension Skills – Imaginative Illustrator

    I currently teach Literature Circles lessons to two Year 6 classes each week, generally my favourite part of the week, when we can immerse ourselves in reading together! One of the greatest challenges in a multi-lingual, multi-level classroom is managing student groups to ensure everyone is understanding what they are reading and moving beyond this […]

  • Primary School Vs Middle School Girls Football Match!

    It was with great excitement and anticipation that the Year 6 Primary School girls gathered after school on a crisp January afternoon.  The girls had only had a number of football training sessions with ‘Coach Jones’ but were enthusiastic and confident in facing their first match challenge against the Year 7 girls. The final result […]

Sticky notes everywhere as I’m reading. “The march towards equity requires intentional, actionable practices that permeate classrooms with accountable routines while amplifying the talents and passions of our multilingual learners.” 🙏🏼 @andreahonigsfeld Maria G. Dove Audrey Cohan CarrieMcDermott Goldman Claribrl González #honouringalllanguages #multilingualism #multilinguallearners #equity I am so thrilled to be a champion for the next generation of global female leaders - that’s why I have become a #mentor in the first @girlsgearingup International Leadership Academy mentoring program! Want to join me and help equip a teenage girl with the skills and confidence she needs to succeed? #GirlsGearingUp #GGU #growconfidence #beinspired #mentor #leadership #youthleadership #mentoring #leaders #community Adding to the resources section and my #bookshelf online. Sharing #reviews of some of the #books I have found so valuable and thought provoking to this page. Focusing on #multilingualism #leadership #community Any suggestions for #reading to add to my list? Would love to include some other voices sharing quotes of their opinions here too - let me know if interested! https://jennyofee.com/resources/ #learning #collaboration #perspectives So much resonated. The value of taking a ‘pause’. What if we really encouraged & facilitated young people having time to think, to figure out, to explore, to better make informed decisions about themselves & their futures? 🙏🏼 @abbyfalik @teb_logan #education #learning “Being multilingual and multicultural is like being in a possession of a precious kaleidoscope that constantly changes and colours the world with incredible shades and tones. Poi’s é.” Ekaterina Matveeva These snapshots of different voices and lives remind us how multifaceted being #multilingual is. These stories highlight the diversity of experiences and impact of #honouringalllanguages embracing #multilingualism in different contexts. #identityaffirming #enriching expanding #perspectives #curiosity #empathy building #flexiblethinking #community https://www.washingtonpost.com/magazine/interactive/2022/dual-language-education/ A real joy to spend time with #teachers at Stanhope Primary in Dublin today 🙏🏼 Taking action to honour all languages in their community. #multilinguallearners @mother_tongues_ireland What are the elements that contribute to 'calm' in our learning communities? How can we cultivate calm to positively impact learning? Beautiful views across Belfast Lough from the top of Cavehill today on our walk with @martinemcs & co
