I've just finished uploading 200 new resources (a nice round number!) for Key Stage 2 French. They complement the scheme of work, which is now complete.
The new resources are the ones with today's date: 25.09.26.
Primary teachers would like:
I've just finished uploading all 19 workbooks to accompany my KS2 Spanish scheme of work (non-mixed).
The workbooks are always the first resource listed (see image)
Today I've uploaded 21 PowerPoints and worksheets for Primary Spanish, both linear and mixed age schemes. There are also a number of new Flippity Randomisers and Wheel of Names wheels to use in class.
If you haven't seen them already, there are now 48 World Cup 2026 resources available free on the website. There are resources for English, French, Spanish, German and Italian, and there will be something to suit most age groups.
I have just uploaded the first 26 new resources for this school year, all of them for KS1 and KS2 Spanish. They include the first workbooks for the Mixed Age KS2 scheme of work. So far I have completed LKS2 Cycle A and UKS2 Cycle C, which are the ones I am teaching this year. They are available on the website as PDFs, but can be purchased as editable PowerPoint documents in my Sellfy shop.
I have also uploaded the Google Gemini Storybook AI stories that I made over the summer, for example the one for this unit. Thanks to Joe Dale for telling me about this tool!
I've just finished uploading 28 new resources to the website.
They are mostly French audio files for the LiPS Listening Project, which I created using ttsmaker.com, an AI text-to-speech generator. Text-to-speech has certainly come on a long way since I first used it, and careful use of TTSMaker generates some realistic and useful results.
I've just finished uploading the first 28 new resources of 2025, all for primary Spanish, many for my new mixed-age primary Spanish scheme, which I am teaching in both my schools.
There are also some new Spanish Christmas resources, which I made for Key Stage 1 last term. (Thank you to Jane Birtwistle for the inspiration!)
Don't forget that the deadline for the next issues of Write Away! magazine is 27th March for both Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3. Secondary teachers - don't miss out!
Issue 22 of Write Away! magazine is now available to read: https://www.lightbulblanguages.co.uk/writeaway.htm
Take a look at the writing that primary children have been doing in their language lessons.
The deadline for the Easter term issue is Thursday 27th March 2025. All info is on the webpage.
EXCITING NEWS!
Next term we will also be bringing you a Key Stage 3 Special Edition. If you would like to submit some of your students' work from KS3, please go to the webpage to see what you need to do.
It will be great for the primary children to see the sorts of things they might be able to create in KS3!
I've just finished uploading 32 new resources to the website.
7 of them are for primary French - use today's date 22.11.24 to find the new ones.
The rest are for primary Spanish, mostly for Cycle B of the mixed-aged scheme, which I am teaching in KS1 and KS2 this year. As some of the units are duplicated from the original scheme, some of the resources appear there too. Again, use today's date 22.11.24 to find the new resources.
A lot of the primary resources, especially those for UKS2, will also suit lower KS3.
I've just finished uploading 97 new resources to the website.
They are mostly for the new KS2 Spanish mixed age scheme: the scheme of work documents and the knowledge organisers are now complete, and there are the first resources for the new units (A1 and B2).
There are also some for:
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.I've just finished uploading 28 new resources to the website. They are mostly for KS1 French and Spanish, for the Pirates unit that I have been creating this term for my mixed Y1/2 class.
I have just finished uploading 75 new resources to the website:
I've just finished uploading 53 new resources, things that I had been saving up over the last couple of terms. It's mostly for Primary French, with a bit also of Primary Spanish, French Display and Spanish Display.
If you want to locate new resources on a certain page easily, try CTRL+F on your computer and enter the date 08.08.23. You can also use "Find in page" on your mobile device using the same date.
Light Bulb Languages now has a total of 7929 resources - nearly 8000!
I've just uploaded 71 new resources, almost all for Primary French and Primary Spanish.
Amongst them are a set of Spicy Starters for Spanish and some numbers 1 to 10 practice for KS1 (also available in Spanish).
All the new resources will have "added 02.02.23" underneath them. If you're on your computer you can use CTRL+F and type in that date to find the new resources. You can also "Find in page" on your Android device. (Sorry I am not fruit-based - there may be a similar facility there.)
I've just uploaded 30 new resources to the site.
You may have seen on the Light Bulb Languages Twitter and Facebook pages that over the summer holidays I set myself the challenge of making 47 resources for my 47 days of holiday. Well yesterday I made the 48th, and that's not including the new scheme of work for primary French, which I published a couple of weeks ago.
You'll find new resources for:
If you are a regular user of the website, you might have noticed that the Primary French Resources page looks a bit different.
After a break of 5 years, it looks like I will be teaching French again from September, so I wanted to revisit my scheme of work. This new one is based on my Spanish one, with a few tweaks.
I have typed out the scheme of work documents for units 1-10 so far, and will complete the rest in time. I'm sure you can appreciate that after 2 solid days of doing it, I want to do something different for a while!
I have also reorganised all the resources into the new units. If you have some favourite resources, they will still be there but might be in a different place on the page. Some of the resources will need editing to fit the new scheme, in particular resources in units 2 and 7.
It's worth pointing out that this is a scheme for specialist teachers - I won't be providing lesson plans or other support for it other than what is already on the website. The scheme for non-specialist teachers, which has full lesson plans, is still available.
I've just uploaded 38 new resources, including the first for the Women's Euro 2022 tournament (French, German and Spanish). Please let me know if there are other Women's Euro resources that would be useful.
There are also a lot of new resources for KS1 and KS2 Spanish.
