Noël: A pack of French Christmas resources for years 7 to 11. 5 or more sheets per year group which eliminates the need to scrabble around every year as they are all different. Starts basic for Y7 with vocabulary based sheets/word search etc and by Y11 they have some multiple choice reading comprehension to do.
If you can’t fit these in to your SoW, why not use them for French club, HW or just for keen beans!
I’ve included a PDF of everything plus another copy which has hints/tips/answers also brought over from the original. Note: they print landscape.
Spanish Viva 2 Module 3.2 lesson 3 (of 3)
If you use Viva 2 for your classes, this is to accompany Viva 2 Module 3.2 about meal times. It is a self-contained lesson which you could use on its own, or use to go alongside the Viva resources.
What does it include? This lesson recaps basic foods and drinks from prior learning, introduces meal time vocab’ plus adds in some new words, too.

If you have the textbook, use listenings from it but this will provide plenty of reading, speaking and writing opportunities.
Lesson 2. Use to introduce or consolidate work on unit 1.2 of Viva 1 Module 1 Mi Vida. Plenty of activities to fill a lesson plus in-built differentiation. Ooops! The picture I used here is of a girl...I'll rectify this in the resource and the image ASAP! Apologies...
