Write Away! news

 

Write Away! magazine has been a huge success since I first launched it in 2019.  The magazine showcases and celebrates the writing that primary children do in their language lessons as part of their curriculum at school.  French, Spanish, German, Italian and Latin have all been featured over the existing 21 issues.

Write Away! was launched as a half-termly, six issues a year magazine.  However, during the last school year (2023-24) there were a couple of occasions where I didn't receive any submissions for the planned issues.

Therefore, from this point, it will be a termly magazine.  This will give teachers and children more time to get submissions together, and hopefully will encourage more schools to submit their work.

The deadline for the next issue, issue 22, is Thursday 5th December 2024, with the magazine set to publish before we all break up for Christmas.  I look forward to receiving your submissions!

Spanish Mixed Age scheme for KS2

If you're a regular user of Light Bulb Languages, you'll notice a few changes to the Primary pages, mainly because of the arrival of the Spanish Mixed Age scheme for Key Stage 2.

Most of it is usable, but you will notice that the documentation not there yet, as well as the knowledge organisers and resources for the only two new units (LKS2 A1 and B2). I will be writing and adding those over the course of the summer holiday so that it will be all systems go for September.
