Year 5: French play audio


The Year 5 will be given their part for the French play tomorrow and will have to read their lines and learn them over the Easter holidays. If you are stuck with the pronunciation of the words, listen to the following recordings, divided in scenes of the play.
Have your script whilst you listen, cross out the letters that you would not pronounce and annotate the pronunciation to remember it in class!
Good luck!

Great app for verbs for bilingual children: 20 verbes




I have been contacted by a lovely teacher in America who designed an application to help her bilingual pupils learn verbs, or any pupil wanting to improve their grammar skills!
We have used this app in French club and the boys rewlly enjoyed it, especially listening to the very sweet French voice giving the instructions.
 Here is it https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/20-verbs/id590043137?mt=8
You first discover all the meanings of the verb (with pronunciation) and then play different games for practise!
 And here is the pedagogy behind it (for other teachers out there!) https://sites.google.com/site/20verbs/pedagogie
