cover sheet to leave as once the class has covered most of Module 2, they should be able to access this.
support exercises
homework
-revision
What’s included?
Reading gap fill, translation, word classification and finally a writing.
Answers included.
To accompany my vocabulary sheets for Viva 1 Module 3, Mi Insti. These are two A5 sheets per page with blanks for vocab’ tests. In alternating languages. Completely blank sheet at end if your groups don’t need support.
A fun way to encourage confidence in times tables. Double-sided cards for pupils to cut out and work with for the six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven and twelve times tables. You might want to use different colours for different sets.
Handy two-sided sheets of times tables cards for pupils to cut out and work with to increase confidence and knowledge. Make sure you remember to print double-sided or you'll have to get them to glue them all.... :)
A wordsearch containing a hidden message (shown on second sheet so you may only want to print sheet two for yourself!). I left out the accents in the wordsearch to make it harder. You could ask the class to translate the words and the hidden message. Probably best for higher ability or KS4. For upwards differentiation, use translation or creation of own hidden messages.
A straightforward word search in Spanish. To upward differentiate you could ask the class to translate the words. See second page for other ideas - but don't print as doubt you'll want 32 of those!! :)
Saint Valentin: message secret. A word search with a hidden message. See second page for this (you might not want to print a class set of this page!). Probably suitable for higher ability as you could ask them to do all sorts with it like translating/writing own message etc.
Spanish Easter Booklet
Year 7 / Grade 6
Spanish Easter vocabulary: This is an 8 page booklet of basic Spanish Easter vocabulary matching, colouring and puzzles with answers. It is appropriate as a stand-alone document to introduce Easter vocabulary. Alternatively, it could supplement your learning on festivals.
You can use each of the 8 sheets independently as needed within your lessons or print as an A4 booklet ready for your learners to work through. The booklet begins with a cover page to colour in to help settle your group. In-built differentiation or challenge working through the Easter booklet means that all children should be able to access the learning independently, allowing you to help those who most need it. It would therefore also work well as a cover lesson.
Vocabulary: BASIC feliz Semana Santa, una cesta de Pascua, una cruz, una campana, un conejo, un huevo, un cordero, unos tulipanes, un patito, una iglesia, unos narcisos, un pollito, chocolate
CHALLENGE las etrellas, los potes de pintura, la mariposa, el césped, el cielo, azul claro, como quieres
This booklet is intended for Year 7 learners and helps them develop basic knowledge of Easter vocabulary in Spanish. For extension and challenge, you could:
• Ask learners to write a paragraph about why they like or dislike Easter
• Say what they receive at Easter, what they do and where they go
• Prepare an Easter card for a friend, teacher or relative using their new vocabulary
• Make an Easter board game
• Write about why Easter is an important festival
• Research the differences between Easter in their country and France and write a summary in English or the TL.
If you find this resource useful, look for the whole pack of booklets with many more varieties of activities for Year 7 through to Year 11. Each booklet is different, so you’ll never need to look for Easter resources again. I’m due to revamp years 8-11, so bear with me!

A resource pack in French based around St Valentine’s Day for Years 7 to 11. Variety of worksheets (wordsearch/spot the difference) so you have something for each year group every year. There is a cover page for each year group so you could print separate booklets.
I’ve found a typo: amoureuz should be amoureux - apologies! Amusez-vous bien.
I will not be editing this resource any more because:
…this resource has been upgraded. You can find my year-group specific work booklets here: https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?authorId=232746&q=Valentine%27s%20Day&shop=Polly_Glott
These grow in complexity across the year groups and use language your learners will probably already familiar with as well as Valentine’s vocabulary. This means the booklets are great as an end of half-term or cover resource.
