Francis Hannaway 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. OK… Continue

Lisa Stevens 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

Lisa Stevens Ideas for Christmas

It's December, and Jo has decorated the page, so guess we'd better acknowledge that Christmas is coming! So, in case you don't find it all by yourself, I thought I'd point you towards a post on my blog entitled Resources for Christmas. I could just copy it all… Continue

Lisa Stevens Navidad, Navidad.

At this time of year, all is completely haywire at school and it's really hard to get anything completed when you're only in (officially) two days a week! So I am particularly proud of managing to submit the December task for Voices of the World
This may have something to do with the fac… Continue

Lisa Stevens EDL week at WCPS.

EDL has come and gone for another year, and I didn't get round to telling you what I was going to do as I had promised in my blog post in August. So here's a retrospective!

When I wrote the original post I was planning to ask the Head if we could have some kind of school celebration of EDL, but when it came to it, I went for it. M… Continue

jane solloway European Day of Languages 2007

So this year we finally managed to get our act together and do something really inspiring for EDL! Our local secondary school offered the time, classroom space and student help, the network provided the funding (see previous Blog post) and Loughton provided 120 enthusiastic year 5 pupils keen to see the inside of what may be their next school but even more keen to taste the delicious croisssants and pains au chocolat we had promised.

Recipe:

Lisa Stevens ¡Estoy dando saltos!

I wanted to quickly share something with you all as I'm SO excited and chuffed, and also I hope it will encourage you.


As some of you may know, I am PLL (and eTwinning) coordinator at a primary school where I work two days a week, teaching Spanish in PPA time.

From this year, the whole of the school will be learning Spanish - from Nursery… Continue

Jo Rhys-Jones Ambushed at Inset - Now I'll have to put my money where my mouth is:

It was slick and well-executed. I didn't see it coming and well, fair cop really. They got me and I'll have to play along.

It had started a little shakily. I'd put on Inspirations, Mind Your Language from the Teachers TV website and had already had to pause it when there were murmers of 'How many langua

Jo Rhys-Jones Weather - an ongoing/daily MFL teaching activity

Quel temps fait-il?

One of the nice things about the weather as a topic is that not only can it be made into a cross-curricular project spread over half a term, but it is also ideally suited for low-key everyday reinforcement in the primary school classroom by the class teacher.

I've attached a template I made for a poster in French
