Time to reflect on MFL in your school maybe as we prepare for next year?

“C:\Users\kray\Documents\weekly email\teatime emails\used\MFL IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS.docx”

Reflect further on your answers – what would you like to change? Is it within your power to do so? If so – then build it into your action 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?

French:

A nice summary document of common French phonics with a YouTube link from native speaker Marie Odile Guillou:

“C:\Users\kray\Documents\weekly email\teatime emails\used\13 French vowels sound cards by MOG (two A5 format).docx”

With a nice poem and worksheet to practice Sound Spelling Correspondences (SSCs) as they are now referred to in GCSE (or phoneme grapheme links). You could also use it as a model for writing.

“C:\Users\kray\Documents\weekly email\teatime emails\used\Deuxième poème sur mes petites bêtes avec photos MOGv1 080420.pdf”

“C:\Users\kray\Documents\weekly email\teatime emails\used\A4 French phonics quizzes for first poem on mini-beasts (with photos)MOG v1.pdf”

And another more advanced document with examples which may provide you with some ‘lightbulb’ moments:

Week 5

It will come as no surprise to those of you who know me that a few Disney tunes will brighten up the week and may be a little welcome relief to SATs.! Here are some links so you can play them in French and Spanish:

A cultural activity for the end of term

Sam – share her activities from summer 2023 (or new) – commentary required with PPt below

“C:\Users\kray\Documents\weekly email\teatime emails\used\ideas from Sam.pptx”

“C:\Users\kray\Documents\weekly email\teatime emails\used\chez le patissier.pptx”

Sentence generator is a lovely activity for sentence building – a bit of a gimmick and you may want to change the magician to someone more well known by 10 year olds than Paul Daniels but the PPt is editable and the premise is the same
