Centenaire Institut francais (sans accent)

Hi All
It seems that the Institut français is 100 years old this year. There will be events to mark its centenary; details here
I sometimes pop into the café and have attended events there. The library is good for checking out story books before you buy and the area around Bute St. opposite has some good French bookshops. You can even get French children’s books in the local charity shops sometimes

Best wishes

Jan

Snowbound? Some online lessons for KS2

Brrrr it's cold. If your school like many across the UK has been closed this week and may be in danger of being closed next week too in these adverse weather conditions, perhaps you might want to consider alternative ways of getting work to your children?

learning about countries

With all of the talk about health care reform, it is a great time to use Health Insurance as a topic for the students to discuss. They can look into International Medical Insurance policies in the country of their language. They could describe the way health care works in their country, only using the language of that country.
I think t… Continue

Happy New Year everyone!

Just wondering if anyone knew of a link to an interactive version of this song? I've had a look on You Tube, but can't find anything.

Thanks.

New Scholastic cross-curricular French resources published today

Hi All

Happy New Year!

2010 is the year I become a published author; `time she put her money where her mouth is' you might say!
I have to say the books have been a long time in coming- nearly 2 years since the project was initiated. I did the outline planning for the whole series and masses of research, re-writes and editing along the way, including finding additional authors. Great to have my friends and colleagues Alison Clarke and Heather Crabtree from the University of Worcester on… Continue
