Boletín is a weekly A Level Spanish newsletter. Every uniquely designed edition includes three topical texts, a vocabulary search and an A Level exam style question.
Apologies in advance that upon downloading the latest edition you’ll see that every prior edition also downloads. At the time of creation TES allowed users to pick and choose which files they could download, this feature has since been removed.
A booklet ideal for GCSE French revision, transition or in class teaching. A page per grammar point with two practice exercises per grammar item. This is an editable PDF meaning when opened with Adobe Reader students will be able to write their answers in the boxes provided and save and send to you.
If you have any issues let us know. A massive thank you to @saraherowland for teaching herself InDesign just to get the French down for this edition!
A new overhauled version of this resource is now available here. It covers every single grammar point from the AQA, Edexecel and WJEC specifications and is designed for classroom and independent study.
A booklet with thematic pages full of IRP ideas as well as linked similar issues. Structured research pages, a vocabulary section and a 2-minute speech draft section. All editable PDFs.
Present, preterite and future tense endings with common irregulars in 1st person. Time phrases as well.
On the flip side some opinion related vocabulary including idiomatic opinions and pre-set subjunctive phrases.
Original idea from the brilliant @wyedeanmfl
This is a cleaned up version combining two resources I use every year but which are one separate documents over a combined 4 pages. One of those was from AQA and the other I’m not sure despite searching on TES.
With this resource students will have support for writing about theme, character, plot, quotes, context and more all on one page.
This is a free resource but I have two premium bundles; one on Volver and one on La Casa de Bernarda Alba.

This booklet is the culmination of a few years work collecting resources about Volver and Almodóvar, it has become almost an obsession.
This booklet is free because whilst the majority of the work is mine, some is not. There are essay sections from Almodóvar himself and links to news articles and even a PHD.
The work which is mine is an updated form of pre-existing worksheets uploaded to TES, some free and some paid for. I’ve decided to include previously paid-for resources for free to share my work more widely. I have lowered the price on all my paid-for Volver resource listings.
Sections on melodrama, plot and La Movida are missing from this booklet but may appear in a future update. The Hodder guide is an excellent resources to use in conjunction with this.
All the illustrations were done by myself and my wife, as well as the typography and design.

This is a parallel reader of Lorca’s La Casa de Bernarda Alba complete with an index at the back.

All design is by myself.
A resource made with the intention of getting students thinking about whether they prefer traditional or popular fiestas, with a focus on qué chulo type structures.

Massive thanks to Blanca for creating the text on the ‘icon’ page and Samantha for helping with sourcing texts on some of the other pages.

Small series of lessons including a sentence builder with the three main eating verbs (desyunar, almorzar and cenar) as well as other less common eating verbs.
A starter on adjectival agreement, a speaking focused lesson using Conti style activities including a pyramid speaking and sentence stealer game and finally a reading focused lesson focused on skimming/scanning and locating information.
Edit: corrected some typos
Just something I put together for my KS2 classes.
I haven't included anything about cultural Easter traditions as I personally would introduce that verbally or perhaps with a video (plenty online). This is more about Easter vocabulary.
The Blockbuster quiz is always a hit. The '?' boxes have challenges underneath, if the challenge is completed then the challenger can win a mini-egg or something similar. The general aim is to get from one side of the grid to the other but usually you can improvise and turn it into a general 'clear the boxes' activity. The boxes are triggered so tapping the outside blue box will give way to the answer underneath.
Inspired by Ousmar Uman’s story and can’t wait to share it with my year 13s. There’s so much that can be done with this transcript that I’ve kept it simple.
I am aware there are some errors in the transcription but it reflects what was said by Ousmar Uman and imo any attempt to correct his Spanish would be distasteful. The opportunity is there though to have that conversation with your students if you happen to find one.
A retrieval style grid inspired by a WJEC CPD exemplar I saw posted in 2018. Call out a coordinate, give students 1/2 minutes to formulate a response on MWBs. Potentially a good AfL activity.
