I love watching shows on Broadway and The Westend. I wish I could do it more. However, there are a lot of musicals that have been filmed for TV. I strongly recommend you get to see “Hamilton”, “Billy Elliot” and “Dear Evan Hansen”. The music in all the shows is absolutely amazing and there is so much energy and English that can be used to work with your pupils in the upper grade.

Hot off the press – Look out for this month’s “Spread the Word”. The digital newspaper with lots of updates from the National Inspectorate.

The reality show called, The Masked Singer is starting this week and I think there will be a lot of English songs shown in the show. Hopefully clean songs that we can do with pupils.

I was privileged to take part in the Edstart Tech conference where they celebrated 5 years of entrepreneurship and the guest speaker was the entrepreneur behind this weeks digital tool.

Digital Tool of the week

Musical Joke of the Week

I love using humour where I can enhance my lessons and make them fun. On cannot loathe something that one enjoys.

Thanks, Bobby Mcferrin, for putting it so eloquently.
