Welcome to October’s round up!
As we approach the first half-term break, how are you all doing? Well I hope!
A special welcome if you have just joined me on my newsletter-writing journey!
My podcast published at the end of September is all about planning; have you listened to it yet? It is all free and is my most popular one to date! My new feature is included again: something which you can listen to with your children, for a couple of minutes, and which teaches them a feature of the French language in what I hope is an unforgettable way!
Please do let me know if there is a specific topic you would like me to talk/write about and I will gladly look into it; I aim to support you all in your work!
