Buy all three of my Mother’s Day cards packs for the price of two! Get your pupils to create cards in French, Spanish and English while working on their adjectives and dictionary skills. This is a good way to introduce pupils to French and Spanish feminine adjectives.
Pupils choose 8 petals to describe an important woman in their life, match them to the Spanish, decorate them and glue them to the flower template. The centre says “My mum is” but also has options for step-mum, carer and a blank option. All vocabulary is provided in English and Spanish, there is a vocabulary list and blank petals to add adjectives if needed.
These could be made into a lovely personalised card.

These PowerPoints are a GREAT way to revise the preterite tense in Spanish and are jam-packed full of holiday vocabulary (100 slides in each). They are quite a fun way to end a class on a high or liven up a grammar point pupils often get bogged down with.
Includes FREE "magic words" mini PowerPoint!
Each PowerPoint can be used in a number of ways to practise reading, writing and speaking, making them superb value for money. They are also all fully editable so you can adapt them to the exact language your pupils need to revise.
- The preterite tense PowerPoints each have an English and a Spanish version.
- These are either in the first person singular (I) or plural (we) and there are combined PowerPoints containing both the "I" and "we" vocabulary to really make things exciting!
- To work the PowerPoints you press "s" in slideshow mode and the presentation will start rapidly flashing through all the slides. To stop, you press "s" again and so on. Please note, the faster the computer, the faster the slides will change.
- To practise reading, use a Spanish PowerPoint and pupils either read aloud or write down on a mini whiteboard whichever phrase it lands on in English.
- To practise writing, use an English PowerPoint and pupils write down whichever phrase it lands on in Spanish.
- To practise speaking, use either PowerPoint and pupils say the phrase aloud in Spanish (either reading directly or translating it into Spanish in their heads and then saying it aloud).
- With the "Magic words" PowerPoint pupils could try to write or say a sentence including the magic word the PowerPoint stops on.

Easter Around the World - Research Activities
Do you want to broaden your pupils’ knowledge of the world while working on their research skills?
This resource is really easy to use in your classroom – there are 16 printable worksheets which cover 15 countries and include a blank sheet if there is a specific country you would like included that is not in the selection.
Pupils can then undertake their own research (at home or in class) to find out more about the Easter traditions in these countries.
Pupils are asked to
• find out what Easter is called in the country
• draw and colour the country’s flag
• write how Easter is celebrated in the country
• add a picture (drawn or printed) to illustrate how Easter in celebrated there
The countries included are:
• Bermuda
• Brazil
• Bulgaria
• France
• Germany
• Greece
• Hungary
• Indonesia
• Italy
• the Netherlands
• Norway
• Poland
• Scotland
• Spain
• Sweden
This is great way for pupils to research other cultures. All the countries have been chosen as they have a special way to celebrate Easter - my favourite is Bermuda with their kites!
On completion, pupils could present their findings to the class or they could be displayed for the whole school to see.
Pupils would also love to be shown YouTube clips of these celebrations and could even try to recreate some of them… I’d love to hear if any classes make their own kites!
This resource outlines four games that can be used to consolidate "yes" and "no" in Spanish. It also comes with yes and no flashcards to be used in the games.
