Profile Information
- I will/do teach the following languages:
- French, German
- About Me:
- Originally a Secondary MFL teacher and HOD before retraining to teach in Primary. Since my lucky break sharing responsibility for a whole KS2 class with the Headteacher in a tiny Devon school, I somehow became a Primary Languages Consultant and then County Inspector/Adviser for MFL in Hampshire. As of Sep 2012 I am delighted to be back full time in Hiltingbury Junior School. I'm teaching the whole curriculum again which I love - but will always have languages in my heart.
I know I keep pinching myself too and I appreciate how lucky I am to be working with so many amazing and inspirational teachers every day.
- I teach languages to these Year groups:
- R-Yr13
- Favourite/recommended MFL Website:
- http://talkaboutgames.wikispaces.com/
- Favorite MFL resource:
- Sock puppets and powerpoint! Also alphabet cards and fly-swats. And dice. And those easi-speak microphones. And...

Hi Jo,
Thanks Jo. It's a great site which I have recommended to the trainees. Many thanks for the Halloween ideas too, they're brilliant! Maybe some of my trainees will be able to use /adapt them for their Yr7 classes. (The trainees are in schools full-time from now until Christmas).
It was great to see you at The Languages Show last weekend. It was also good to meet Susan and Joe.
A bientot,
Melanie
Thanks Jo, looking forward to using the site, thanks so much for the Easter stuff I am using it today! :)
Hi Jo
I teach French all the way through from Reception to Yr 6. I would love your thoughts on building progression through the year groups to avoid repetition. Is there a scheme of work which covers Reception to Yr 6?
Thanks Gina
Just wanted to give you a heads up. I am producing a phonics 10min guide for Links website and have linked the article to your ning and also some of the fab PPTS on phonics you have made available online. Take care and have a fab summer! Suzi x
