French and History

A group of 30 year 9 students have been studying History through the medium of French. The 8 week module on ‘La France sous l’occupation’ is part of the CLIL project (Content and Language Integrated Learning).

Students had to sum up the consequences of the armistice signed between France and Germany on the 22nd June 1940 and the meeting between Hitler and the French leader, Maréchal Pétain on the 24th October 1940.

Science and French

7P had a Science lesson where they were encouraged to write up their findings in French. Some of the work is shown below. Their Science teacher is not a French specialist, so we think that they have all done a fabulous job!

Exciting work in MFL

This half-term, students are working on some exciting projects in the MFL department. They are working on CLIL - Content and Language Integrated Learning. This is where students learn about a subject outside of MFL, like History or Geography, in the Modern Foreign Language. Watch this space! Students' work will be displayed shortly. The Science Department here at Tomlinscote have also produced some work in French, which will also be on display on this blog.

Excellent work from Primary School

Students from the Primary schools around Tomlinscote School also learn languages, and they have been producing some fantastic work! This piece of work stood out especially, so we wanted to share some of the pages of the booklet with you. It is from a student in 5H at The Grove Primary School.

Attention MFL AS and A2 students - do you want to be on TV?

Shine are in production for a TV series for Channel Four, and they are looking for students to appear in their programme. The poster is below - get in touch with the company if you are interested! It sounds like an exciting opportunity!

Eurovision Hungary 2008: Csézy - Szívverés

This is the original Hungarian Eurovision 2008 entry in Hungarian (rather than in English, as it was in the semi-final). A reader of the MFL blog left a comment with the link - thank you!

Look who's been looking!!

The work that is placed on this blog is seen by people from many different countries in the world! Keep producing great work, and maybe your work will be displayed on here soon!

School leaflet competition - 8R Spanish

8R produced leaflets about Tomlinscote School in small groups as part of a competition within their form. The work produced is really good, especially considering that 8R have only been studying Spanish for two and a half terms!! Well done!!
