Primary French Toolkit 2

This link is to the second batch of ten lessons for the Primary French Toolkit. I retain copyright, but you are welcome to download for use in your school. Please don't use these without using lessons  1to 10 first, though, as the sequence has been trialled and is important.

The toolkit uses two stories from Little Tails (Beelingua) - Hackney schools have been provided with these, and you will need them to use the toolkit. I highly recommend them.

It also uses this powerpoint on weather Le temps

And these Clicker grids to teach reading and writing

Primary Spanish Toolkit

The primary Spanish toolkit covers the first ten lessons. It is designed to help children make the basic adjustments to thinking that they need in order to learn Spanish, and to introduce writing without copying. It is copyright, but you are welcome do download it for use in your school - of course, you are welcome to use as much or as little as you please. I am grateful to The Learning Trust and to my primary colleagues in Hackney for their help, support and patience in trialling the materials.

Primary French Toolkit

The Primary French toolk  is designed to tackle from the outset the adaptations to thinking that English speakers need to make in order to learn French. The files below contain the principles and the first ten lessons. More will follow, making use of Little Tails (Beelingua). The toolkit is copyright, but you are welcome to use it in your school. I am grateful to Fox Publications for permission to use Not Now Bernard in this way, and must point out that it is licensed only for Hackney schools - please contact Fox if you wish to use it, and I'm confident they'll allow it. I've also scanned the book into powerpoint, with the subtitles, but this is too big to upload. The toolkit is, in a literal sense of the word, an essay. If it is helpful, please use as much as you like. If not, not.
