Using the Surface Gos and Linguascope, the children have been learning new vocabulary for items in their pencil cases. Linguascope is our online language programme, and each child is able to work through the exercises and online games at their own pace.

This ensures that they are confident in their knowledge and new language acquisition before moving on to the next activity.

Then, in pairs, they practised spelling all the new words. Finally, and this is something the children always love to do – they looked for the new words in a wordsearch. It was great to see some children choosing to extend their learning, by remembering the words, rather than using a vocabulary reference sheet. Bon effort les enfants!
