Self-marking retrieval quiz on Stand By Me today. Pupils took the quiz, self-corrected by comparing work against marking scheme, then I double checked/gave whole class feedback. Great tool and time saver! #carousellearning #learnerautonomy #retrieval #edutwitter @Carousel_Learn
We had our Christmas buffet lunch in the department today as well as #SecretSanta 🎅 This year we decided to buy each other books which is definitely a tradition that will stick! Lots of happy faces in the @StMargaretsAcad English department with our beautiful books 📚
