Somerset Primary Languages | Resources using non-fiction texts

.

There are a number of pages in this section. To go to "Just Stories" on page 2, you will need to go to the foot of page 1 and click on the link to take you to page 2. To go to "Resources for developing some stories" on page 3, you have to go from page 1 to page 2 and then to the link at the foot of page 2 ...and so on. The set up of the site does not permit you to go straight to e.g. page 4.

Page 1: Ideas for non-fiction texts;

Page 2: Just stories - resources for simply reading and enjoying stories together;

Page 3: Resources for developing some stories - maybe to use over half a term as a different way of language learning;

Page 4 KS1 ideas;

Page 5: Songs and rhymes;

Page 6 Christmas ideas & resources

Page 7: Cultural insights - powerpoints of various area of life in France.

If any of the powerpointsdo not work as you would expect, The xbx files - made on SMART notebook

Ideas to use authentic materials from the web are ideal for years 5 and 6. These include a recipe - "Croque madame" - that can be explored and then reordered before making it by following the recipe in French!; some extracts about a French school and some ideas on the carnival theme.
