"I can do" Assessment

On this half day course at the Elmhurst Centre in Street various handouts were made available to you.  Here they are electronically just in case you would like to use/adapt any for your own use.

MFL Co-ordinators Follow-up Day

I have now added the ISA templates, the ideas for the "Quand la vie est" poem that you came up with....even the original poem by Jacques Prevert is here!!....and the various handouts in case you want to use them again at any staff meetings you may run.

This event will include training on the "New Literacy" - linking MFL/EAL and Literacy.

Mind the Gap!

I have put all the handouts from the day here now - and more besides, that came from the Transition Conference in April, just in case you might find them useful.  deb has typed up the ideas re Learner Voice and that is here too.  IF you use anything from the day then it would be really good to hear from you as to how you have used it in your own situation.

Through the Looking Glass

You will find the very user friendly sheet with info about the Tour de France 2009 and some straightforward activities....all in French and great for upper KS2.

The same course will also run at a different venue on 16 Sept. Early Start 1 & LCP 1 - Level 1 training

Do bring your memory stick with you - just in case there is something too large to go on this site that you would like to take away with you.

LCP 2 & ES 2 Training and resourcing day

I have added news re a special price for Somerset Schools that wish to buy La Jolie Ronde..plus the document that maps LJR to Early Start/Rigolo/LCP Flipbook/Espresso (- just in case you didn't locate it under 15 Sept).

Ins & outs of the French Language

Liz Osgood is going to do a re-run of this very well received event.  It is an intensive day of language work, designed for those who are "rusty" with their French.

This is a day for those who are completely new to the role of MFL co-ordinator and did not attend this event in September 2008.
