The first half term is done. It’s flown by.

Tonight, I’m going to treat you (Well I say “treat” but I’ll let you judge for yourselves!) to two posts. The first is by way of an update and the second post is to pay tribute to some very special students. This is the first of those two posts … brace yourself … this is tough … Read more
I’ve updated my usual end of year “pub quiz” that I will be doing with my very last lesson with my groups. I’m a real grouch and generally try to keep them going as long as I can until I relent and do something “fun” … Anyway, i thought I’d share … there are 5 rounds … Read more
