Today at The Language Show it was my pleasure to deliver a presentation entitled A few of our favourite things.

During a packed 45 minutes I highlighted as many of the things that my pupils say they enjoy as I could. I do talk very fast but as is often the case, I had far more to say than there was time to share.

As promised you can find my slides below including links to things I mentioned such as the songs and games. If you have any questions, please feel free to post them in the comments below. And if you bought a ticket, you can access my presentation (along with many many more!) on catch up. I’m looking forward to doing just that over the next week or so.

Things to add –

• Many of my props come from IKEA (I blog about my visits quite often!)
• The games website I mentioned is https://www.spanish-games.net/
• For tutorials on how to make minibooks (and other things!) have a look at Clare Seccombe’s playlist
• I use the LightBulb Languages scheme of work which can be found here
• The latest issue (and all past ones!) of Writeaway can be found here The next deadline for submissions is 9th December.

I ran out of time to share about our amazing Erasmus+ project that has certainly been one of the children at WCPS’s favourite things over the last three years. Hopefully one day I’ll get to present a whole session on it (or record one of my own!) but until then, please have a look at the project blog from the point of view of our school here and the whole project blog (which was written by the Greek partners) here.
