Making link - linking languages across the primary curriculum

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Languages best taught as discrete subject or as integrated part of curriculum? time, content,
  • #4 They’re intrinsically linked. Get cross when people say that EAL learners should be taken out of MFL as skills really useful Looking at word order, nouns and adjectives, phonemes/graphemes - use vocabulary of literacy - awareness of own language enhances that of your own.
  • #6 plurals!
  • #8 LBL flipcards Twinkl card
  • #9 time, money, Venn diagrams and sorting, statistics, surveys, counting, QQT, mayor/menor/igual etc number loop sequencing
  • #10 dice games - multiplying, adding, finding a target number, sequencing - deux rouges, un vert, un bleu, deux jaunes etc shape - c’est une figure avec trois sommets, trois côtés et trois angles (une triangle) dates price of sweets dinner money
  • #11 add - pesos sheet weather stats sums to colour
  • #12 numbers Latin Roman numerals architecture
  • #14 Saints Saens word orchestra habitats revise personal information storytelling
  • #15 mini whiteboards - safety - take pictures for evidence handwriting isn’t an issue easy to put right with a sleeve ;)
  • #16 rewritten un león muy feroz un elefante muy pesado una tortuga muy feroz
  • #18 using non fiction texts
  • #19 making things - handicraft is neglected! also making mini books, Christmas baubles
  • #21 last but not least - easiest way! pañuelo puntos de contacto article in ALL
  • #23 go to Sr Cabeza Naranja
  • #27 refer notes re ideas not had time to share
