Christmas Mystery

I have attached here a copy of a mystery that I designed last year to introduce a very low ability group to Los Reyes Magos. It is not a true mystery in that there is an answer, however it does provide some discussion. We had spent several weeks working with tengo / tiene and soy / es, so there is a lot of emphasis on these.

I hope you will be able to use this.

MFL resources Ski slope

I first heard about this on MFLresources before the summer holidays. I thought I'd give it go in September. It was so good I have done it with all my GCSE and Year 9 classes. I have also done it for an observation that went well.

I would like to thank Vincent at MFLresources for this fabulous idea, and have attached a photo of one the pupil books to give an idea of how it looks.

snowball = error
tree = accurate
penguin = good
penguin on skis = fab.

I began by giving out very few trees to encourage good accuracy, then there seemed to be a fight over who would get the first penguin.

To be honest the pupils seemed to really want to see my pathetic attempts at drawing a penguin on skis rather than wanting it for its own sake.

Really positive lesson.

Christmas Taxegdo

I saw a lovely one of these from @wizendcrone in French and it inspired me to do one in Spanish.

I think I'm going to use it to start some Christmas Poems with Year 8 and as revision for GCSE.
