Animated 'Creepy Crawly' Videos

You may remember that Jo posted a blog on the subject of minibeasts quite recently. Well I'm not professing to have actually tried using any of the resources yet but I came upon these amusing videos quite by chance and couldn't resist sharing! Here's the link to the… Continue

Jumping on the back of Jo's last blog!

Jo's ideas were inspiring as always and I just wanted to add my voice to one of her recommendations in particular... if you haven't tried using the 'Toutes les couleurs' story by Alex Sanders yet, then get on-line and order yourself a copy straight away! It's a fabulous little tale of a very endearing rabbit and how she manages to come ho… Continue

Something to whet the appetite!

I'm intending to begin a series of blog posts later this week on the subject of storytelling in primary MFL. In the meantime I hope you enjoy these photographs of our school display, which exhibits work from both Y4 & Y5 pupils produced during a unit of study based on Eric Carle's much loved text 'La chenille qui fait des trous'. The little mini-books you can see on the cupboards illustrate the sequence in which the caterpillar eats the different items of food throghout the week. Pupils gl… Continue

Thanks again for your great links and suggestions on the Unit 16 Plage blog. I like the idea of focussing more on instructional texts especially with the boat idea. The unit suggests it (the imperative) but only has the recipe/poem idea and it doesn't really go far enough, in my opinion, so the make-a-boat idea is great and I think would work really well. If I get a chance next term we'll try and I'll let you know how we get on!
Thank you again for your great ideas - Jo x

However, I like the spontaneity of Word Magnet and the fact that you can ask the students to input words too. To get them directly involved, you could have 2 teams, the "inputters" and the "unjumblers". Of course, it depends on the class, but I am planning to try this out very soon... Watch this space!!

Sorry I missed your comment earlier - love the post by the way and the slidecast works fine when you actually click on the blog post, but I know what you mean about it showing up as just a little cross in a box the rest of the time...
Ok - I get this problem too - so far the only way I have figured out of sorting it, is to edit the blogpost again and save it again. Sometimes even a couple of times. I have no idea why it does this, however I have had a message from the ning platform people that they have been doing some work on the code for the site and will be again sometime today - so this may/may not have affected how it loaded in the first place, hence the need to re-insert the link in exactly the same way as you did it the first time. Hope this works!

I like to see whst's on Jos blog as I'm not working in primary MFL at the mo (rather miss it) but trying a new experience teaching in an international bilingual school in Switzerland. Might be back so the blog helps to keep me in touch! Good luck with everything you are doing-sounds great!

At 11:09pm on 25th January 2008, Jo Rhys-Jones said…: so many yummy pictures! thank you!

At 9:28pm on 24th January 2008, Isabelle Jones said…: Thanks Jayne! This is very useful. I am sure the pictures of food will create a lot of debate with my students.
