Reviews

I'm very pleased with the Bloomsbury Curriculum Basics range and would highly recommend them to home school parents and new teachers too. There's a wealth of knowledge to be gained from them as well as lesson plans to guide you through each lesson ensuring you meet the criteria. In my mind, they are a great investment as they'll see you through all 6 years of Primary education. -- Nazira, lovehijabgirl.blogspot.co.uk
A detailed collection of lesson plans aimed at KS2 teachers with everything you need to confidently teach French. Lessons build up from a starting point of exploring languages and cover a wide range of topics including food and drink, hobbies and weather. Subject knowledge and grammatical concepts are also explored, with clear links to the National Curriculum and progression throughout KS2. A handy summary box at the start of each sequence of lessons ensures you are well equipped with the necessary language skills to successfully teach the children all they need to know. Useful cross-curricular links are also provided. -- The Teacher Magazine, NUT
