ALL Primary Languages Conference Online 2021 (ACAPULCO #2!)

 

I am honoured to have been invited to give the keynote address at this year's ALL Primary Languages Conference.  Following the success of last year's event, the conference, affectionately known as ACAPULCO #2, will once again be held online.

The theme this year is An ambitious primary languages curriculum, and you can find the full day's programme here and book your place here.  If you are an ALL member or trainee teacher, the cost is only £5, and if you are not a member the cost is £25.  Great value, I'm sure you'll agree!

During the conference we will be hearing from Kate Percival, Vicky Cooke, Lisa Stevens, Ellie Chettle Cully and Marie Allen.  The conference is organised brilliantly by Steven Fawkes and Sue Cave.

I look forward to seeing you there!

At the moment I am only back teaching in two of my three schools, so I needed something else to do with two afternoons a week and to help me to meet my pension payments!  

I've already mentioned that one of my hobbies is sewing (see the post about teacher aprons!) so I decided to use my time to make some language-themed goods and sell them on Etsy.  I don't know about you, but I like to have things with "foreign writing" on!

I've purchased some suitable fabrics from France and Spain, and even designed my own fabrics (haven't made anything with them yet, though!)

If you'd like to have a browse of the Etsy shop, it's here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/LumenMakes.  Please get in touch if there is anything in particular that you'd like.
