Welcome to this month’s round up!
How is it nearly time for another break? I bet you are feeling ready for it though.
If you wanted to work with me this term, I wanted to let you know my availability as I type: Thursday 23rd May (yes, there is time to snap this one!), 6th and 7th June, 14th June, and in July 12th, 18th and 19th. Click here for up-to-date information.
I have been reflecting on my use of the target language in the classroom. Have you too? Then my latest podcast may be of interest to you: click here to listen to it. The recording includes something to teach your children the phrase “faire la queue”… I know, not a very French concept ha ha!
Look out for my next email around mid-June… I will be able to share some exciting (and some sad) news!
Till then, look after yourself.
A bientôt!
Nathalie
