We are excited to share this fun game which allows children to revise colours in French and learn a little more about the French flag - The Tricolore. With clear instructions and printable resources included, this game is simple to set up and fun to play. Would be a great starter or plenary game, or as part of a whole school French day. Aimed at KS2 where children will be formally learning a language, but could easily be used in KS1 to introduce French learning to younger children. “Learning a foreign language is a liberation from insularity and provides an opening to other cultures. A high-quality languages education should foster pupils’ curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world.” The National Curriculum 2014 We bring you effective, teacher made, fun and creative resources for use in primary schools linked to the English National Curriculum.

We are excited to share a FREE set of activities to welcome children to school on their very first day! Using the fantastic book ‘Hey Duggee First Day at Squirrel Club’, we have developed a follow up activity and keepsake certificate that can be personalised and taken home. ( Book available on Amazon ) Download Includes: Lesson ideas sheet with lots of fun ideas for the first day of school and links to additional resources. A hide and seek activity game. Print off the images of the characters and hide around the classroom. A tick sheet is included for the children. First day of school certificate. A double sided document, in either A4 or postcard size, which can be personalised and printed for each child. A first day of school badge image which can be printed as stickers using Avery labels. Duggee is a great character to use at the very start of the year as most children will already be familiar with him. This familiarity creates a link for children with their new classroom and teacher. A topic that they can all talk about. Our hide and seek activity, uses the characters featured in the story and encourages children to explore their new classroom. This can be a particularly good activity for more timid children. Stickers and certificates to take home make a special reward for children. We are ExcitEd!
