I am currently a Head of Modern Languages in a large secondary school in the North East Of England. I also work with the local University with PGCE MFL students, an area of my work I thoroughly enjoy. I am passionate about teaching and learning, and have a particular interest in the teaching of grammar and of literary texts to develop reading, writing and listening skills. I am currently working on developing a range of resources to support the study of Le Petit Nicolas and the series of books.

Just a bit of a revamp from ' spécial vacances' to support less able students, with opportunities to work on literacy through vowel gaps, pronunication and words snake, to learn the conditional and help in achieving levels 5. Use and adapt as you wish.

This is to help students to learn the good higher grages habits. the test sheet can be used as a starter activity, lesson by lesson, to support students in retaining and understanding how to extend and develop writing and speaking. The test sheet can also be used to help students adapt to their own sentences. My year 10s really found it useful, I hope you do too. !

This is such a beautiful and powerful song by Françoise Hardy, covering so many areas of study. From grammar to expressions of feelings of joy and nostalgia, there is so much to exploit and I will add more resources, but my 6th form love it. A beautiful melody at a steady pace. I hope it is useful and that this song is enjoyed by colleagues around the globe.

I am aware this may be challenging for KS3, however, used appropriately some parts of the book can be approached by top sets at this key stage. I recommend work on adjectives and look at family, school etc.. also for all key stages, you may want to focus on tenses, but better if you watch the movie as well , really great production and students can relate to this and the diary of a wimpy kid.
