GCSE SPANISH KS4 SPANISH KS3 SPANISH PRIMARY SPANISH GREETINGS BIENVENIDOS BUNTING BANNERS It’s great to create a new look for the new school year - I use bunting/banners not only to create a real Spanish look and feel in the learning environment, but also to promote everyday language and core vocabulary for learners of all ages. Bunting works well throughout the entire school year, but definitely has a celebratory back to school feel! The bunting has a small tag that you can clip to a line of string across the room (like a washing line!), or to a wall.

SPANISH FRUITS & VEGETABLES I HAVE, WHO HAS? BUNDLE
**PRIMARY SPANISH FRUITS VEGETABLES KS2 SPANISH FRUITS VEGETABLES KS3 SPANISH FRUITS VEGETABLES I HAVE, WHO HAS? 3 GAMES @ £2.50 EACH** ***This resource consists of non-editable files in a zipped format. It is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, shared or distributed outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use carefully.*** = Game 1: focus on fruits = Game 2: focus on vegetables = Game 3: focus on blend of fruits and vegetables Whole-group lively & communicative language learning games, perfect for ***practising, reinforcing & refreshing a range of fruits in Spanish***. The games have a ***multi-skill focus***: listening, speaking & reading, with an important bonus focus on social interaction and participation. It’s perfect for ***pronunciation practice*** too - I point out particular ***phonemes, accents and sounds*** too - such as the ***tilde on the letter ñ***, and how important that is in creating the correct sound of the word. The aim of the game is to create a ***Spanish sentence chain*** as quickly as possible, starting with ***Tengo la primera tarjeta***, and ending with the final card, ***Tengo la última tarjeta***. ***There are 29 fruits featured across the games***: green apple; red apple; banana; cherry; date; fig; gooseberries; grapefruit; green grapes; red grapes; honeydew melon; kiwi; lemon; lime; mango; nectarine; olive; orange; papaya; peach; pear; pineapple; pumpkin; raspberry; redcurrants; rhubarb; starfruit; strawberry; watermelon. ***with 29 vegetables***: artichoke; asparagus; aubergine; green beans; beetroot; broccoli; Brussels sprout; cabbage; carrot; cauliflower; celery; cucumber; garlic; leek; lettuce; mushroom; onion; peas; green pepper; red pepper; yellow pepper; potato; sweet potato; radish; spinach; sweetcorn; tomato; zucchini. All the fruits and vegetables may not be in my longer-term learning plan, but the ***learning objective*** moves beyond simply learning individual units of vocabulary - the images help students ***infer meaning from context***, supported by the ***visual prompts and clues*** - this in turn supports them in developing their ***Spanish language skills*** in the longer and more complex sentences. There is ***implicit input on grammatical concepts*** such as ***adjectival agreement, gender, definite, indefinite and partitive articles and position of adjectives***, either preceding or proceeding the particular noun. This is a very successful way of really getting the most of what looks like a straightforward game for consolidating the target vocabulary - it is actually so much more! The ***question card template*** provides an additional learning activity, with students ***applying their developing Spanish language knowledge creatively and practically***, as they make game cards for the class. This is an ***integral element to successful language learning***, and is a really popular activity with my students. ***Have a browse in my store for more Spanish resources, including special offer bundles and freebies.*** **íMUCHAS GRACIAS Y BUEN PROVECHO!**

SPANISH VOCABULARY CARDS BUNDLE #1
**SPANISH FOR CHILDREN BEGINNER PRIMARY SPANISH KS3 SPANISH VOCABULARY CARDS : REFERENCE, RECALL & WRITE WORKBOOK TWO SETS @ £1.80 EACH IN THE BUNDLE 198 WORDS & PHRASES WITH MATCHING ENGLISH CARDS** My students really like to work independently, in pairs and in small groups, and these vocabulary cards enable them to do that. They find that this way of working really does help them to ***develop their confidence and embed the vocabulary into their longer-term memory***. There are lots of games and activities to play, and I've described several that are successful with my groups. They love to quiz and test themselves and each other on a regular basis - it's a very popular alternative to more traditional vocabulary 'drilling tasks'. Giving students ***regular and frequent opportunities*** to work with the cards is really effective, and not only when we're focusing on these particular vocabulary themes, but also across the school year, and even when they're far more advanced in their learning - all learners benefit from going back to the start. ***The target vocabulary includes essential beginner Spanish words and phrases in the following vocabulary groups:*** **Set 1:** *Los saludos Los días de la semana Los meses y las estaciones del año Los números 0-20 Mi familia Palabras frecuentes Frases útiles para la clase Preguntas y respuestas* **Set 2:** *Los saludos Los colores Las partes del cuerpo Los números 21-40 El tiempo Frases útiles para la clase Preguntas y respuestas* Varying teaching and learning methodologies in the languages classroom is really important, and these cards enable students to ***learn entirely independently***. There's definitely some prep involved - printing, laminating and cutting out - laminating is certainly worth the effort, as the cards are a lot more learner-friendly, and do last for years. Students don't have to play with full sets - they can work with selected vocabulary groups. The ***18-page reference, recall and write workbooks*** give students a different way of consolidating their vocabulary - writing it out really helps to embed language, and is great for spelling too. There are ***3 differentiated recall and write challenges*** in each workbook, as well as a full ***alphabetical Spanish-English vocabulary list***, which works well as a longer-term reference resource too. Students are able to ***apply their Spanish creatively and practicall***y with the games cards templates, which is an essential element of ***successful language learning***. The differentiated Recall & Write activities really help students practice and review the vocabulary, and to work on spelling and writing in Spanish: The ***3 differentiated Recall & Write activities*** really help students practice and review the vocabulary, and to work on ***spelling and writing in Spanish***: ***Written Recall Challenge One***: students write the English word /phrase from a Spanish prompt, with all the words and phrases grouped together in the same category ***Written Recall Challenge Two***: with this challenge, students write the words and phrases in Spanish from an English prompt, and again, they're all group together in the same category ***Written Recall Challenge Three***: this final challenge ‘switches’ at each question from Spanish to English, and lists words and phrases randomly from each category I encourage students to complete the ***Notes and Next Steps*** sheet regularly - this helps promote ***reflective learning***, encourages students to think about ***progress*** they have made, to think about ***targets for improvement***, and ***how to achieve those targets***. ***Have a browse in my store for more Spanish independent learning activities, and a wide range of other Spanish teaching and learning materials, with special offer bundles, resource boxes, and lots of freebies too - I've included a couple here for you to try.*** *All files are non-editable in a zipped format.

SPANISH CONJUGATION PRACTICE 3 TENSES #1
**GCSE SPANISH KS3 SPANISH KS4 SPANISH CONJUGATION PRACTICE** ***3 tenses, 4 verb groups, 12 workbooks, 1,800 conjugations, answer keys and verb lists @ 75p each in the bundle*** ideal for ***advanced KS3 Spanish*** students who are beginning to work with ***compound sentences and longer texts***, and generally developing their ***knowledge and understanding of conjugation and tense in Spanish*** through to ***KS4 Spanish GCSE Spanish*** students who are regularly working with texts featuring ***a range of tenses***, including some ***authentic resources***. ***The tenses are:*** *present tense* (presente) *perfect tense* (perfecto compuesto) *preterite tense* (pretérito) ***The verb groups are:*** *Spanish -AR verbs Spanish -ER verbs Spanish -IR verbs Spanish high-frequency verbs* My students really like this kind of grammar activity, as they like to work and learn independently, which is a successful way of varying teaching and learning methodologies - I've found it's really important to avoid predominantly teacher-led learning in the languages classroom. I use these kinds of workbooks in lots of different ways: for practice during the introduction phase, for independent choice in class time, for home learning, for practice, reinforcing and revision during vacation and at return to class, and for individual activities during cover lessons - I move onto conjugation quite quickly in my language learning programmes, so that students can ***apply language practically and creatively***, which is essential for ***progressing in language learning***, as well as ***consolidating language and grammatical concepts***. I tend to give my students regular opportunities to practise the conjugations during the whole school year, and they find this really useful for mapping their own progress and developing their overall understanding of how ***Spanish*** conjugation 'works'. ***The workbooks focus on the correct conjugation of verbs, rather than usage***, but I definitely find it useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb conjugation. For example, with the ***Spanish present tense***, I encourage students to ***look for patterns*** across all the verbs, such as the ***singular pronouns, including for example the singular formal pronoun Usted form being identical***, which is fairly standard, but the conjugation of the ***formal singular Usted*** does frequently lead to errors at this stage of learning. Students do often try to conflate what they know about conjugation in their first language with that of the language they are learning, and with those whose first language is ***English***, I frequently see attempts such as ***yo soy / estoy trabajar*** for ***I am working*** or similarly***io hace trabajar*** for ***I do work***. I refer frequently the difference in usage, and this is important particularly when explaining when and in which contexts to use the ***simple present and the continuous / progressive present tense***. ***Spanish*** does have a ***continuous present tense***, however, as usage is slightly different, it's useful to point this out whenever possible - I have separate workbooks in my store for the ***Spanish continuous present***. Though the workbooks focus solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are ***conjugation patterns*** that students can ***learn, recognise and apply***, ensuring that their ***spoken and written Spanish*** is accurate, and that their understanding of ***Spanish*** across the skills of ***listening, speaking, reading and writing*** is robust. Students become very familiar and confident the more they work with conjugation, and these quick conjugations certainly help to embed that successfully. ***Each set is structured as follows:*** ***Two alphabetical verb reference lists***: Spanish-English and English-Spanish, useful for longer-term reference too ***Three differentiated conjugation challenges***, each with 50 individual conjugations, 150 conjugations in total: ***Conjugation Challenge 1***: each verb conjugated in Spanish across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation. ***Conjugation Challenge 2***: gives the infinitive of each verb in Spanish, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation in Spanish. ***Conjugation Challenge 3***: students write the corresponding Spanish verb conjugation, and its infinitive, from a Spanish prompt. I use the ***Notes and Next Steps*** template to encourage my students to reflect on their progress, and think about what they can reasonably and realistically do to meet learning targets and move on - we revisit the conjugations, and the ***Notes and Next Steps***, regularly - sometimes students haven't quite embedded learning before it's time to move on, so revisiting for 10-minute 'chunks' is really popular with them. Students not any new verbs they learn, which in time builds into a really comprehensive verb vocabulary bank. We also use the ***Notes and Next Step***s to inform, guide and focus whole-group discussion on learning and progress in general, which is a really popular activity. The ***answer key*** has six pages and is in book format. ***Answer keys*** are essential for this kind of learning activity, as they do provide a really essential additional opportunity for students to engage with language, and my students prefer to work and learn independently, assessing their own progress, either individually, in pairs or in small groups.

In turn, they often mix up ***conditional tense and future tense endings***, so it can be really useful to introduce both tenses fairly simultaneously. In this way, students can ***compare and contrast*** verb endings, across a broader range of texts, including authentic resources, which really helps them consolidate learning. In my experience, students are able to move beyond any confusion between the two tenses really quickly. Though the workbook focuses solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are ***conjugation patterns*** and specific rules for usage that students can ***learn, recognize and apply***, and begin to be able to ***predict accurately***, which in turn ensures that their ***spoken and written Spanish*** is accurate, and that their understanding of ***Spanish across the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing*** is robust.
