Bonjour!

Fantastic event at Beverley Grammar School last week to celebrate the final of the Translatathon. Huge congratulations to Willerby Carr Lane who took this year’s crown as primary winners with their French team and to Molescroft with their Spanish team.

As we begin to think about next year, it’s maybe time to reflect on the place of MFL in the curriculum. The attached document poses some questions which can help frame further discussion or reflection. When you have answered the questions, consider what you would like to change – is it within your power to do so? If so, you can build these actions into your development plan for next year. If not, can you have a conversation with the person who has the power to support your desired development and share your ideas?

A multi language easy prepare activity for this week’s suggestion!
Draw a grid on the board – 4 or 6 squares
Ask a question using any language previously learnt and if answered correctly, the pupil’s initials are written in one of the grids
When the grid is full, the next pupil to answer correctly can choose which square they want their initials in and they then replace the previous pupil!
This then provides motivation to keep answering questions rather than sitting back once a pupil has answered one question.
You may want to set a time limit on the activity.
Reward at the end of the task with, for example, Dojo points / sweets.

We look forward to seeing some of you later this week for the subject leader meeting but au revoir for now!

Best WishesKay and Sam
