Sheets to complete to keep a diary of what we learn in our Spanish club. In this lesson I always give the learners a drink, they choose the colour cup they want (in Spanish) and they sing an adapted version of a birthday piñata song before I deliver the drink. Words are on the powerpoint, and the song is on the video.
Students study words for family members - children, parents and siblings. They then study the verb tener, and talk to each other making statements and questions about possessions. They watch a video, then they practice a short dialogue in open and closed pairs asking, for example, "Do you have cousins?" "What are they called?"
This is a very structured lesson, giving maximum guidance to less confident speakers of Spanish.
This workbook is for all students, but especially foundation level students who are struggling with trigonometry. In it, there are detailed explanations with many examples for students to work through each step of the way. They will learn to name the sides of a right-angled triangle, decide on the ratio to use, apply the ratio and apply their new knowledge to other shapes.
The learners can read all the information, written in a conversational style, easy to take in when completed in their own time either during lessons or as homework.

Boys and girls choose affirmations beginning with "Soy ...", eg soy contento or soy contenta, to introduce the idea that some adjectives agree with gender. Children work with professions cognates, eg soy recepcionista en un hotel, creating memory cards they can use to play matching pairs games with friends/ test each other with.

Non-Spanish speakers have read this book, and told me that they were able to read it from cover to cover. One reviewer said, "You don't realise when it is Spanish or English you are reading, because it all blends in." I hope Spanish teachers and students give this book a try, because I have found it to be successful in engaging my learners and giving them the knowledge and the confidence to speak Spanish.

The monster is a group of 3 children under a sheet. We find out how many of each body part it has by asking it. The monster sticks eg. its arms out from under the sheet and we count them.
As I read this story to the children they have short intervals to do what the children in the story are doing. They end up inventing a game called La monja and el diablo in which some language can be used - either English or Spanish. Every group of children invent a different game.
