Boletín is a weekly A Level Spanish newsletter. Every uniquely designed edition includes three topical texts, a vocabulary search and an A Level exam style question.
Apologies in advance that upon downloading the latest edition you’ll see that every prior edition also downloads. At the time of creation TES allowed users to pick and choose which files they could download, this feature has since been removed.
A booklet ideal for GCSE French revision, transition or in class teaching. A page per grammar point with two practice exercises per grammar item. This is an editable PDF meaning when opened with Adobe Reader students will be able to write their answers in the boxes provided and save and send to you.
If you have any issues let us know. A massive thank you to @saraherowland for teaching herself InDesign just to get the French down for this edition!

Original idea from the brilliant @wyedeanmfl
This booklet is the culmination of a few years work collecting resources about Volver and Almodóvar, it has become almost an obsession.
This booklet is free because whilst the majority of the work is mine, some is not. There are essay sections from Almodóvar himself and links to news articles and even a PHD.
The work which is mine is an updated form of pre-existing worksheets uploaded to TES, some free and some paid for. I’ve decided to include previously paid-for resources for free to share my work more widely. I have lowered the price on all my paid-for Volver resource listings.
Sections on melodrama, plot and La Movida are missing from this booklet but may appear in a future update. The Hodder guide is an excellent resources to use in conjunction with this.
All the illustrations were done by myself and my wife, as well as the typography and design.

Just something I put together for my KS2 classes.
I haven't included anything about cultural Easter traditions as I personally would introduce that verbally or perhaps with a video (plenty online). This is more about Easter vocabulary.
The Blockbuster quiz is always a hit. The '?' boxes have challenges underneath, if the challenge is completed then the challenger can win a mini-egg or something similar. The general aim is to get from one side of the grid to the other but usually you can improvise and turn it into a general 'clear the boxes' activity. The boxes are triggered so tapping the outside blue box will give way to the answer underneath.
A side quest of our Madrid trip was photographing street signs with accessible language ranging from easy to hard. The result is this resource!
This was inspired by a similar resource by @MrFrancisMFL who created a Bilbao version a few years ago!
Ideal for a pre or post-Madrid trip lesson for those trip attendees and those who didn’t make it.
This is now onto version 3, hope it’s helpful. If you want me to change the background colour/image of me then get in touch and I can try and sort something out.
A list of apps, websites and resources to guide indpendent study. The PDF is designed to be sent home by email so it is interactive. All icons are linked if they refer to an app, website or particular resource.
Infinitive structures can be a life saver for those students who find conjugations tricky. If you know an infinitive structure for the present, past and future then you can rest assured you are working in three tenses as a minimum.
Check out a resource I uploaded years ago on infinitive structures: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12093780
