19 new resources today

Regular readers of this blog will remember last year's 70 Day Challenge.  On June 23rd I set myself a new 70 Day Challenge - to make 70 new resources for the website in the 70 days before 31st August, which is the last day of my holiday.  Yes, I return to school - teaching - on 1st September.

Today is 12th August and I have already made 79 new resources, and here are the first 19:

14.8.15  Sorry - due to copyright restrictions I have had to delete these resources

• Recordings of French story books for KS2
• Recordings of Spanish story books for KS2

Secondary teachers: Have a listen to them - this is the sort of language that KS2 children listen to and read

Primary teachers: if there are any other books that you would like recording, I will happily do it as long as you can provide the text.

More to come.

29 new resources today

This afternoon I have been kept inside by the rain and so have uploaded 29 new resources.

• KS2 French animals resources, to reinforce gender, introduce adjectival agreement and work on longer texts
• A story for KS1/2 Spanish, an adaptation of Jill Murphy's Peace at Last.  Thanks so much to Iazskun for providing the translation of the story.
• KS3 Spanish Weather resources - thanks Marie!
• Some French and Spanish certificates

More Primary Spanish word mats

I have just uploaded the remaining 10 word mats for Primary Spanish.  They are intended to complement the units of the Light Bulb Languages scheme of work for KS2 Spanish.  If there is a word mat that you would like on a different topic, please get in touch.

18 new resources

I have posted 18 new resources today, most of them for Primary French.  They include the first Primary French word mats.  There are also some for Primary Spanish.  Remember that resources added today will have "added 18.05.15" with them.

Primary word mats

Following a discussion on the Languages in Primary Schools group on Facebook last week, I have started to make word mats to accompany our primary schemes of work.  I have completed the first 10 for Spanish, which you will now find here.  More Spanish and all the French to come.

52 new resources today

This morning I have uploaded 52 new resources, including:

• Spanish Tarsias (thanks Marie!)

23 new resources today

I have uploaded 23 new resources today, mostly for Primary French.  There are resources for jobs, more for phonics and the first ones for verbs (être in this case).  I have also uploaded the first  "Minimal pairs" activities, like this one, which are excellent for focussed listening.  There are also some more grammar sheets for KS3 French.

More Quizlet and Studystack for French

I've added more Quizlet and Studystack lists for French today.  You'll find them here.

More resources to come tomorrow.

10 new resources today plus new interactives

I have uploaded 10 new worksheets and PowerPoints this morning, mostly Primary French, but also some Primary Spanish and KS3 French grammar.

As mentioned in the previous blogpost, Light Bulb Languages now has accounts for Quizlet and StudyStack.  I have put links to the activities I have made so far on the French Interactive Games page.  My own Year 7 daughter is finding Quizlet and StudyStack very useful for learning her French vocabulary, and you can never go wrong with a game of Fling the Teacher!
