A French action song with lots of repetition. For teaching names of animals and verbs describing their actions. Great for younger classes, but I've also used this with Y6 who loved letting their hair down!.
Upper KS2 or older pupils will enjoy this song covering a range of holiday vocabulary: packing bags, going to the swimming pool, restaurant and café. MP3 file and sheet music with lyrics included.
For KS2 and KS3. Score, lyrics and MP3 file, plus a sentence scaffolding sheet where pupils make sentences for ordering food of various flavours using à la, au etc.
For KS2 and KS3. French shopping language - buying fruit and vegetables at the market. A cumulative song that works a bit like the game 'I went to the market and bought ...", which would make a good supplementary activity for a lesson.

If pupils’ books get messy because of the crossings out and columns of numbers when they do subtraction, if some of them take the top number from the bottom number when things get difficult, if they get into a muddle when they encounter zeros on the top line, then do give this a go. Long ago, this is how subtraction was taught in British schools, and it’s still taught in schools in Europe.
It’s a very clear PowerPoint with animation and narration. I first used this method with a Y5/6 class who had been taught to use the American algorithm. They found it tricky to master and I found their work equally tricky to mark because of the presentation, So I gave them a choice: use the method taught by their previous teacher, or use this one. Provided they were getting the right answers, it was fine with me. Not one of them continued with the old method.

This resource consists of three fill-the-gap worksheets where students have to insert ‘of’ or ‘have’ into sentences.
A short teacher-controlled presentation for more able KS2 and KS3 pupils. It shows that that the Active and Passive ‘voices’ of verbs can exist in all tenses, including present and past continuous forms. The presentation ends with an on screen exercise where the task is to change 10 sentences from active to passive. The sentences require pupils to manipulate a variety of compound verbs (e.g. James Smith was reading the news / The news was being read by James Smith)
This is a game for 2-4 players. It is played with a single die and counters. Included are a simple game board with Christmas pictures every few squares, and a set of 24 question cards suitable for lower or upper KS2. The grammar content should have been covered by the end of Y3. If players land on a picture square, one of the other players reads out the Christmas themed grammar question. If players give the correct answer, they advance one square. If incorrect, they go back one square.

Here you have a 17-slide presentation for teaching transitive and intransitive words. The first few slides explain how to spot whether a verb is transitive or intransitive by identifying the subject, verb and object of a sentence. The rest of the slides use teacher-controlled conceal/reveal animation for whole class practice in identifying transitive/intransitive verbs.
For independent work, there is a worksheet where the task is to say whether the verbs in 8 sentences are transitive (v.t.) or intransitive (v.i.). There are three versions of the worksheet, which could be used together in class in order to prevent copying. Or they could be split and given as a follow-up homework or revision task.
