Bonjour! Hola!
Wishing you all a very happy holiday and Easter (¡Feliz Pascua!) (Joyeuses Pâques). Remember there are still spaces left on our free CPD for Wednesday 22nd April 1pm to 4pm at Molescroft. Watch some live teaching in action, hear the latest updates for PMFL and share ideas with colleagues.

As we approach the end of the spring term and look towards the summer term, consider how you take your language learning into the open!

Think about the following practical activities which could be done outside or as part of MFL or PE lessons!

• Counting any repetitive exercises in French or Spanish using numbers 1-20
• Throwing a ball in a circle at random to rehearse new phrases, colours, words or numbers, food phrases! Anything really!
• Sentence race games for rehearsal and mastering or pronunciation – pass the sentence along the line and say it accurately (if a mistake is made it goes back to the first person in the line – which team is the fastest!
• Younger learners in Y3 might appreciate running to the correct colour/Number in French/Spanish.
• Treasure hunt in French or Spanish for older learners with simple clues written in French or Spanish – You could even ask the children to write clues for one another!
• French cafe or Spanish cafe – set up outside, make menus, order food (real or plastic!)
• Adapt the town! Ask children in pairs to create an image on A3 paper of a place in the town. Take the sheets outside, create a mini town on the playground, draw roads with chalk, use the town to navigate and rehearse phrases for ‘left’ ‘right’ and ‘straight ahead’ in French and Spanish.
• Ask the children to invent an outdoor game using known language – what ideas can they come up with! Children are often far more creative and inventive than us!

Bonne chance! plus not forgetting to wish you all – Bonne Vacances!
Happy Easter!

Joyeuses Pâques! ¡Felices Pascuas!

Best wishes
