Partner School in France

So - yes, it's probably not even called that . . . but I'm at home and the folder with information is at school.

The HT decided that - while most children are away on residential for the week - the remainder of Y5/Y6 could work with me and send something to our partner school. The small primary school in France has already sent photographs of children : we had to decide which child was which by reading info on an 'identity card' which described features such as hair, glasses, clothes, etc.

Creating puzzles and jigsaws

Hi

I have put up a post to a free site called Jigsawplanet that enables you to create some free puzzles on any image file, bit picture or text, you have. Here are two examples, one of an image, the other of a simple text. You can make the puzzles easier than this. The site allows you to choose the level of difficulty.

French Autumn poems

Hi

I have put info about some poems I found on the subject of Autumn here.

I have simply put material I found elsewhere onto a Smartboard Notebook file for easier viewing but the site I found them on is referenced and has links to a lot of 'comptines' and poems suitable for KS2.

November 5th - Harry Potter an the Exploding text

Hi everyone.

If you are looking for an idea with some whizz bangs and explosions for Thursday you could try using or adapting materials I have posted at souffler.co.uk

It might look at first sight that the text is too hard for Primary age kids but I think you would be surprised at how much they could understand if you teach them the tools to be a Language detective and 'decode' a text. Plus they get to have a go at a Powerpoint that has l… Continue

Lisibo talks!

It's been a long time since I posted anything on Talkabout - and that makes me sad as I started blogging here and don't want to neglect a community that I have always valued so much and always wholeheartedly recommend when i'm sharing.

So i thought I'd cross post a couple of things from my blog - ¡Vámonos! that you might have missed!… Continue
