I really like your idea about about adapting the Hungry Caterpillar text by changing the principal character and altering the type of objects he/she likes to eat. It's a great way to get pupils motivated to write in any target language and really does add a new dimension to the story. Can't wait to see the photos... and I for one will follow suit and use your idea in the future. Thanks :)
Thanks for the link to this website.
It was nice to see you on Tuesday. Enjoy the last 2 weeks of school. Hil x

This is a multimedia pack coming in an A4 folder including DVD, CD, lesson plans and photocopiable sheets. It has come highly recommended and I have borrowed it from the Wheathamspted library to use over the next 2 weeks to make absolutely sure it is right for Dundale. It would provide the basis for our French teaching and be ideal for the non-specialist.
It has a web site with additional support.
There are currently two folders available with a third to be published shortly. Our current needs would be met by folder one “Salut! Ca Va?” But we would make use of folder two next year.
I have also chosen this above other published schemes as we have Espresso as an interactive tool so don’t need a web based resource.
Having used it for a year now, I'm still impressed...especially the DVD with French children speaking. The topics covered fit well with Primary topics.

take care, jox

I can't believe it's taken me a year to become aware of this forum! I volunteered to get MFL going in our Primary school here in Herts last January and absolutely love it! I started with Y5 but now teach the French for Y6 and my Y3/4 classe but continue to do all the planning for Y5. This afternoon I'm teaching 3 demo lessons for collegues who are less confident/skilled in French. I also set up a twice yearly liason meeting between our local Comprehensive and the 5 feeder schools. We bought Salut Ca Va which is great. Have also subscribed to Atantot. I spend loads of time making resources so will try to upload in due course.
Hope to get some more friends on this forum soon!....and add my photo!

- got all excited for a minute and thought you had mixed yr 3 4 5 and 6 all in one class (like me) - then I re-read it - doh! Still mixed year classes present similar problems (and advantages) so hope to share tips with you sometime..
Meanwhile welcome to our little network which I hope you find friendly and useful. Please feel free to explore the site and any techie probs/q's finding your way about leave me a message. By all means have a go at a blogpost - you can delete it or hide it from view if shy - but we'd love to hear from you if you get a chance.
