Easter booklets for Years 7-11 Pâques This is a selection of booklets ranging from basic French Easter vocabulary matching, colouring and puzzles to higher level reading tasks further up the year groups. Each one has an accompanying answer booklet. Each booklet is usable as a stand-alone document for Easter activities. Alternatively, it could supplement your learning on Pâques. You can use each of the sheets independently as needed within your lessons or print as an A4 booklet ready for your learners to work through. The booklet begins with a cover page to colour in to help settle your group. In-built differentiation or challenge working through the Easter booklet means that all children should be able to access the learning independently, allowing you to help those who most need it. It would therefore also work well as a cover lesson. I would recommend black and white copies be lightened slightly as the coloured boxes can make the text a little harder to read than in colour.

Year 7 French KS3 French This 4 page resource can be helpful during the first week of the first term to settle and get to know your groups, especially where they are from different feeder primaries and you’re not sure what level of MFL they are coming in at. It could also be useful for when groupings/sets are still changing in the second or third week of the first term…yes this does happen… For lower ability pupils offer a choice of which page to start first as the first is a bit wordy! Space to add the name of your school. For differentiation ideas, try putting French words jumbled up on the board (bonjour/au revoir etc.) or famous French people. Ask higher ability children to write a mini paragraph about themselves using personal information and so on. Here is the Spanish version: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/year-7-first-spanish-lesson-11976564

A self-contained lesson covering reading/writing/speaking/listening (if you want to do all four skills in one lesson!) for the first page of this unit. It can be used on its own as an introduction to the unit, or as consolidation if you’ve already introduced the vocabulary and structures. Built-in differentiation and instructions on how you could use each slide. If you are technically minded, you can make the powerpoint automatically change date in Spanish each time you open it. Type “How to Insert the Current Date/Time in Microsoft PowerPoint” to find out how to do it. (Not allowed exernal links on here.)

Numbers/places in town/character adjectives: French basics revision. Harking back to the FCSE. This was a handy sheet for level 4 revision… Now it would serve well as a good cover sheet if groups have covered the vocab’ I’ve put in the title. Even if they haven’t it would be a good dictionary worksheet for cover. Year 8 and possibly lower ability year 9.

Simple introduction to basic food stuffs. Includes vocab’ and pictures, a noughts and crosses and an activity you could use to match pictures and words if the pictures were cut out and mixed up. Suits Year 7 or low ability.
