Great French Language Challenge!

By J Sanderson15th May 2020

Bonjour!

Hi everyone,

As part of our Modern Foreign Languages curriculum at Ashley Primary School, Key Stage 2 study the French language.

I thought the following activities would give you something a little different to challenge yourself with whilst you’re staying safe at home with your families and also help you to keep in touch with your French learning!

The Great French Language Challenge is made up of a number of fun activities to do with your families  which focus on the French language – in fact some of them you might need to ask for a little help with and make it a real family challenge!  You could even join up with class mates online (be e-safe aware!) and create a socially distanced team!

If you manage to complete the French challenge, why not try the second challenge and choose a different language to focus on? Can you find any similarities between that language and your French challenges? Which words sound the same or have similar roots? Did any words surprise you?

I appreciate given the current situation it might be tricky to do one or two of the challenges, for example trying foods from that country which you may not have tried before: shopping isn’t straight forward at the moment, and I don’t want you to spend any money on this! For that reason, you can change any challenge that proves too difficult to complete for one that you make up yourself – how imaginative can you be?

To download the files, click on the images below.

Go on! Why not have a go – discuss with your families and compare ideas with friends. Most of all, have fun! 🙂

Anyone who manages to complete the challenge can send me an email at [email protected] with the subject line ‘Great French Language Challenge’ or ‘Great Languages Challenge’.

Parents, so that your child can be rewarded with their awesome certificate, please include their name (first name and initial of surname only) and class – or if it was a family effort, maybe create a team name and send me that instead! (I still need a class for reference however 😉 )

Bonne chance! (Good luck!)

For your information, there are also some great activities on Education City (you will need your login details) and BBC Bitesize if you fancy brushing up on your French.

https://go.educationcity.com/level/index/4

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/subjects/z39d7ty

Nothing beats listening to a language to help promote the learning of it, so maybe try and tune into some French songs online as well. Here are just a few as an example, but there are loads out there – you might find some cartoons as well:

First Lego League Jr – Ashley Waste Warriors

16th June 2016J Sanderson

What a busy time the year 2 Waste Warriors have had!

In preparation for their presentation at the Open Zone, the team have been researching, designing, and of course building! They’ve also decided on their amazing team name – Ashley Waste Warriors! We love it!

Last week, the year group were visited by Wendy from Groundworks, who answered lots of questions about local waste management, in particular how we can reduce, reuse and recycle more effectively. Wendy gave us some great ideas for reusing waste in our Outdoor Classroom! An important message she left with us was, ‘if in doubt, leave it out!’ Recycling can become very costly if we don’t do it properly, so if you’re not sure, leave it out and check for next time!

Our caretaker, Mrs Ovington, showed us how she manages our school waste, she explained how it is collected, where it is taken in the school, and where it goes afterwards.

On Wednesday the team visited Middlefields Recycling Village where they met with Bill McGill. He was great and the children had a brilliant time learning all about waste management in the area, recycling, reusing and how to turn waste into energy. We also visited the on site shop where discarded items that can be reused are rescued, cleaned and checked, then sold at very reasonable prices. The team did try to convince Miss Davison and I to buy them a table top football game to bring back to school, unfortunately we were returning on foot so had to leave it there for someone else, (much to their disappointment!)

The team have also been planning their ‘Show Me’ poster for the presentation and have begun the big build… It is very exciting to see everything come together! 🙂

Things are certainly coming along nicely and the children loved meeting Wendy and Bill, many thanks to our very own Mrs Ovington, Groundworks and South Tyneside Council!

Keep it up team, Miss Davison and I are very proud! 🙂

You can even take clothes to Middlefields to be reused
This is where we can recycle small electrical appliances
TVs can even be recycled too!

This is the shop!
So many pieces of rubbish can actually still be very useful!
Garden waste is turned into compost, you can buy some at the shop on site…

It’s very good quality!

Mrs Hall’s Kidsafe – Sessions 4 and 5

By J Sanderson13th December 2015

Phew! It has been a busy couple of weeks for KS and the children in Mrs Hall’s class!

Session 4 was a fairly sensitive week; we began the session with a fun rendition of the song ‘Heads, shoulders, knees and toes’ which led into a gentle discussion about our bodies and our ‘private places’. We talked with the children about understanding that we all have private places and that, whilst we can have a giggle about it, really it’s quite important learning how we can help ourselves take care of them and how we can keep them safe! With the help of KS, we introduced the children to some special rules which will help them do just that.

It is important that the children know they are the boss of their own private places, but that there maybe specific times when it is necessary or ‘ok’ for certain people to need to see them or help care for them – for example when bathing, changing or if they are poorly.

We also thought about ‘happy secrets’ and ‘yukky secrets’. They all had immense fun keeping their surprise for KS’s birthday a secret and he was blown away by their loud rendition of ‘Happy Birthday’!! This helped the children understand the difference between a good secret, and a secret that could give them yukky feelings’. KS had experienced those yukky feelings and the children were fantastic in suggesting what he could do to get rid of them:

  • Say No!
  • Walk Away
  • Tell a trusted grown-up

Brilliant work children! Now you know when a secret is ok to keep, and when you should share it with a trusted grown-up. Remember: You don’t have to keep a secret that gives you yukky feelings!

 

Session 5

This was our final week with Mrs Hall’s class!

We discussed adults who have disagreements and sometimes argue. We thought about how this can make the children feel, and what they can do if they ever experience yukky feelings associated with this.

It was important for the children to understand that although sometimes our parents and carers do argue, it does not necessarily mean they no longer care for one another! It was equally important for the children to understand that they should never feel guilty or to blame if their trusted grown-ups argue or fall out with one another. In this situation, the children worked out that they could talk to another trusted grown-up to help them work through any yukky feelings.

We then recapped the whole of our Kidsafe course! Wow!! We have talked about so much over the last few weeks, the children have been amazing and we are so proud of them! KS has had a brilliant time and we couldn’t believe how much the children had remembered and how much they enjoyed the sessions.

Thank you Mrs Hall’s class! Don’t forget, if you ever experience those yukky feelings you can….

  • Say No!
  • Walk Away!
  • Tell a trusted grown-up!

We will see you in a couple of months time for a catch up session where we can answer any of your questions and see just how much you can remember from Kidsafe!

We look forward to seeing you!

Miss Davison, Miss Sanderson and KS 🙂
