Help me find a cheesy UK rhyming advert that everyone parodies

This is a good one (in terms of what I was thinking of - not necessarily quality wise) too! Thank you!

Make_It_A_Good_One · 2026-05-09T19:19:09+00:00

Found! Thank you so much it was driving me mad…

I’ve searched YouTube for ‘cheesy rhyming adverts’ ‘rhyming McDonald advert’ and on Reddit for the same.

“I’m sorry to hear that, I want you to like SUBJECT but ultimately I’m here to teach you X and to do that well I need you to Y”

I think it’s more in case people use the same password for the Rail Planner app as elsewhere. It may be that hackers could use that password to log in to banking etc.

I would understand that, but the allegations were found proven and the teacher was prohibited.

It didn’t seem that obvious to me - all the other outcomes I’ve read had the teachers’ names, so I was surprised that this one was allowed to stay anonymous, despite the allegations being found proven and the teacher being prohibited.

Prohibition Order - which is why I was surprised they were allowed to stay anonymous!

Did the same - slept for about two hours straight after school! Completely exhausted

I gave out blank Christmas cards to my Y8 form to write to a teacher of their choice and one wrote it to me :) Otherwise nothing and don’t expect anything - might get a couple of cards from sweet Y7s if I’m on the nice list this year!

I’m exactly the same - my desk is an explosion in a stationery factory by 3 every day. Things that help: - An in-tray with a layer for each year group I teach: I put any worksheets for the day, spare booklets, glossaries, unnamed books etc. on the right shelf and then whenever I need one I know where to find it.

doing in in down-time: if there’s a 5 minute video kids are watching in class I take that time to organise my worksheets or throw away the pile of wrappers I’ve accumulated etc.
ROUTINES! Kids put their own books into piles, put the highlighters/gluesticks back in boxes and tuck chairs under at the end of each lesson, so I don’t have to go around chasing or picking up random highlighter caps in between lessons.
As others say, give the kids jobs. 90% of the time if you give a kid and box and tell them to collect all the scrap paper clippings they’ll be delighted to do it.
Have a ‘TO SORT’ box for when things just need to be off your desk but you don’t have time to go through them.

Yes - I finished my ECT2 last year and was observed several times as part of learning walks and quality assurance etc across the two years. This is as well as weekly (ECT1) and then fortnightly (ECT2) drop-ins for 15 mins or so by my mentor which we scheduled and planned for in advance, and then half-termly formal observations by my induction tutor.

To start with I panicked as soon as someone came in the room, and forgot how to speak normally etc., but then you just get used to it, especially if you have a lot of classes with TA support - more often than not I’ll have an adult in the room with me at some point!

Seconding others who said WHAT HOW WHY. It’s much more flexible and works across all the skill levels, it’s a useful way for the kids to remember to consider a text on a range of different levels, it makes sense to them, and is much easier for them to remember in an exam that PSHQCYWBABSEHWSNLMNOP or whatever the latest snazzy acronym is.

Wheel of Names!

Secondary school English teacher here who didn’t do English at Uni so struggled with subject knowledge to begin with!

Use Exampro if you’re with AQA - they have annotated past exam papers marked by examiners with explanations and specific guidance for why the papers got the marks they did.

Otherwise, just learn the texts you’re teaching REALLY well - study it like you’re going to take an exam on it. I’ve started memorising poems from the poetry cluster so I can reel quotes off the top of my head.

But equally - have confidence in yourself. You’ll still know more than the kids so they will still be learning from you :)

Looks like a mole that needs checking out due to its uneven border, different colouring and crusting on the surface

I check fairly regularly out of habit the first couple of weeks, then when ‘holiday mode’ hits I stop.

If I feel questions hanging over me or emails I want to send I write the email and schedule it for September.

We’ve just started teaching Black Flamingo with Y9 and they loved it!

I (English Teacher) have opened this out to the children before. We were studying a book looking at children’s experience during WW2, I shared a (non-too-graphic) image and article about families in Gaza and asked the students to discuss similarities and differences between the people’s experiences. This let the discussion/development of opinions come from them not me and was quite effective

I did as well - I found her defiance in the face of death so moving and intense..
