Spanish -¿Cómo es tu barrio?
A PowerPoint to introduce the adjectives to describe your neighbourhood.
The first few slides introduce the vocabulary and are followed by activities which can be done to develop skills with them.
There is an accompanying PowerPoint which contains the activities without graphics or backgrounds so that you can use these for handouts to print. There are two slides of each so you can print two per page of A4.
Activities include:
One pen, one dice
Missing words
Broken words
Faulty translation
Four in a row game
Vocabulary:
¿cómo es tu barrio?
mi barrio (no) es
bonito/bonita
feo/fea
limpio/limpia
sucio/sucia
tranquilo/tranquila
ruidoso/ruidosa
interesante
aburrido/aburrida
moderno/moderna
turÃstico/turÃstica
industrial
animado/animada
pintoresco/pintoresca
descuidado/descuidada
precioso/preciosa
viejo/vieja
anciado/anciada

más/menos que
Bastante/muy/extremadamente
**Time saving codes for marking
**
French, Spanish, Italian…
Stick the A4 sheet into learners’ exercise books at the front or back. As you are marking, any common corrections and so on that they should complete have codes. You just need to write the code on the work. Learners then
write out the relevant target(s) on their marked work - and complete them, of course…
The language is described as the “Target Language†so that the sheet is appropriate for many languages.

Year 7 Spanish
First Spanish Lesson
Get to know your KS3 pupils.
Do your pupils come from a variety of feeder primaries? This resource can help you to clarify level of MFL depending on which primary your intake is from.
This is also a helpful resource if the timetable hasn’t started yet or your sets/groups are not sorted in the third week of term which happened to me one year and I had to cobble to something together for two weeks not knowing if the children would be in the group or not…
There is room to put in the name of your school.
For differentiation ideas, try putting anagrams of Spanish vocab’ on the board (or on certain tables if you know the ability…) or anagrams of famous Spanish speakers. Also see my free French version.

Happy teaching!
A resource pack in French based around St Valentine’s Day for Years 7 to 11. Variety of worksheets (wordsearch/spot the difference) so you have something for each year group every year. There is a cover page for each year group so you could print separate booklets.
I’ve found a typo: amoureuz should be amoureux - apologies! Amusez-vous bien.
I will not be editing this resource any more because:
…this resource has been upgraded. You can find my year-group specific work booklets here: /resources/search/?authorId=232746&q=Valentine%27s%20Day&shop=Polly_Glott
These grow in complexity across the year groups and use language your learners will probably already familiar with as well as Valentine’s vocabulary. This means the booklets are great as an end of half-term or cover resource.
Spanish
Viva 1 Module 1
LESSON 1
An interactive PowerPoint lesson to recap or introduce Viva 1 Module 1: greetings/name/where you live/how are you. It covers the vocabulary in the module and has in-built extension. Reading/speaking/writing skills covered plus a noughts and crosses game.
There are notes in the slides for guidance on how to deliver the activities, also.
French Easter work booklet suitable for Y7. Covers lots of Easter vocabulary in French and lists it at the end so they can work independently - ideal for cover lessons or less teacher input when you need some time. All the usual Easter vocabulary Pâques/cloches/chocolat etc.
Sorry for the quick description but would like to make it available ASAP. Look at the details for the Spanish ones for more info’ as it’s the same as those! Here it is: /teaching-resource/semana-santa-easter-in-spanish-y7-12508285
I’ll update the description and previews as soon as I am able.
I’ll also be raising the price once I’ve sorted the description and previews, so buy now!
El pelo y los ojos
***updated to include answer sheet
Spanish hair and eyes simple worksheet to show understanding of hair and eye colour plus hairstyles.
I suggest you ask learners to draw each face so that you can keep the worksheet to use again. Another option is to project onto the IWB or make available to learners on their tablets if if they have them.
Activity 1: colour the eyes correctly.
Activity 2 draw and colour the hairstyles correctly.
Activity 3 Translate sentences into English.
Activity 4 Translate sentences into Spanish.
Suggested extension activities
describe a celebrity’s hair and eyes
describe yourself and your family
create a character and describe them in Spanish
draw and describe your friend
Noël: A pack of French Christmas resources for years 7 to 11. 5 or more sheets per year group which eliminates the need to scrabble around every year as they are all different. Starts basic for Y7 with vocabulary based sheets/word search etc and by Y11 they have some multiple choice reading comprehension to do.
If you can’t fit these in to your SoW, why not use them for French club, HW or just for keen beans!
I’ve included a PDF of everything plus another copy which has hints/tips/answers also brought over from the original. Note: they print landscape.
A week’s worth of lessons to accompany the third unit of Viva 2. Fully interactive and to run alongside to consolidate or independently of, if you’re short of resources, the textbook. Based on three lessons of fifty minutes each. The date in Spanish within the powerpoint should change automatically (use google or a tech whizz if you need help if your machine won’t do it!). Any constructive reviews gratefully received.
