Please Help!!

Hi I am at university studying to be a primary teacher. I am doing a research project on Mfl and am hoping some kind soul might be able to point me in the direction of some resources!

I am trying to find some videos/sound clips of French children talking about their daily life and/or celebrations that would be siutable to show to a Year 4 class?

Thanks for any help at all!

Maths and Language Games

The attached PowerPoint slides are designed to practice numbers in French (though you could easily adapt them to Spanish or German). I made them in the hope of using them to reinforce the concept of number and be slightly more cognitively demanding in a mathematical manner while using t… Continue

Song for Y6 leavers assembly

Does anyone out there know of a simple song (In French) suitable for a Y6 leavers assembly? Maybe one of you 'creative types' has written some words to a familiar tune that you would be willing to share?! I thought I'd ask before setting to and trying to write my own!!!
Many thanks
Corinne

French staff meeting

Hi all, I'm looking for advice again. As a student nearing the end of my GTP course, I am going to hold a staff meeting on teaching French. It is this Thursday, and I have loads of notes and a handout of 9 pages long so far, and I am a little concerned about what I really need to say. I am at an Infant school, so obviously that influences our MFL teaching, and the staff don't want me to make them play games! Has anyone run a MFL staff meeting before? Do you have any ideas about what I can tell p… Continue
