My aim is to spread the fun and love of learning, while providing my colleagues around the world with easily accessible material. :)
I have always enjoyed making up games and other fun activities, not only for MFL but also for other subjects I have taught along the way. My resources in this shop contain a mixture of activities like work books, educational board games, puzzles and more.

Hands-on informative resources for Primary Transition Coordinators at Secondary School!
This bundle contains 3 useful documents to support a smooth transfer of Pupils to a new school:
Web-guide for your school website - needs to be read and adapted to your own school though this is a pure writing issue. All hyperlinks will remain in place.
Teacher liaison document - Ideally this document would be completed by the new students’ original teacher and passed to their new school. This document contains a space for school logos to represent the schools which form art of your pyramid. The Liaison document would normally be passed to your feeder schools in the summer term, to be completed and returned prior to the end of term.
Transition activity - This is a useful activity which would be completed by the students. The time frame is up to you, i.e. either before they leave their original school or once they arrive at your school and meet their new class teacher.
This information sheet works well for Primary teachers to pass on information to their pupils’ teachers at Secondary School. While the sheets contain some of the information which will also be passed on in the pupils’ files, this presents a nice summary of what heads of year, form tutors and teachers need to know about their new pupils.
This worked very well at my school when we had a multitude of feeder schools as it enabled us to standardise the information we received from all. Colour-coding the sheets, i.e. photocopying them onto different coloured paper according to the feeder schools prior to taking them to the Primary Schools will make it easier to see later how many pupils from the various feeder schools have been grouped into each tutor group.
The box at the end can contain some additional information the Primary teacher would like the Secondary School to know about. I used this box to make notes on the pupils when I visited all my feeder schools in the summer term and discussed my future tutees with their teachers at the Primaries.
This activity works well for Primary pupils to introduce themselves to their teachers at secondary school. The pupils write their best answers to each of the questions in this writing frame. The class teacher or teaching assistant would discuss this with the pupils and encourage them to use their best handwriting and give as much detail as they can fit into the boxes.
The sheets are then passed to the transition coordinator at the relevant secondary school.
