Making the most of the warm weather and our fabulous outside spaces - a Spanish nature hunt with Year 6, searching for everything from las telas de araña to los insectos que caminan #collaboration #educationwithcharacter

Fabulous Easter cards in French from #Year4. I love the creativity and #independence everyone showed in developing their individual designs #freetobeme @BansteadPrep

#Year5 have been learning about the planets in both Science and Spanish. Their concertina booklets are out of this world!! Thanks to @valleseco for the idea! #curiosity #independence #mfl @BansteadPrep

We learnt about how the French celebrate le premier avril today and why. #Year6 enjoyed trying to stick paper fish onto one another's backs and writing some French poems about colourful fish! Thanks @valleseco for the poem idea! @BansteadPrep #MFL

Does Zeus trump all other mythical characters? Not when you can make up your own ratings! Yr6 enjoyed playing a Greek myths version of the well-known game in #Classics #educationwithcharacter

[Helen Abbott @BPS_Languages]

Strategy and defence at play today in a battleships game about the weather. #resilience needed when your ship gets sunk! Different tactics used to keep your board a secret from your opponent #freetobeme. Lots of French being spoken! #communication @BansteadPrep

Learning through song. Year 4 exemplified #collaboration when they spontaneously and without inhibition burst into song together. Felicidades - you've smashed those Spanish numbers and colours! #attitudesforlearning #freetobeme #primarylanguages #mfltwitterati

[Helen Abbott @BPS_Languages]

@linguascope Yes! And they love it!

[Helen Abbott @BPS_Languages]

Thank you @getwordwall for the new style maze chase. Year 5 loved it today! #mfl #primarylanguages

I love that my new ER verb display represents the crazy uniqueness and passionate creativity of each individual Year 5 #mfl #primarylanguages @BansteadPrep

Day 11 of #ClassicsTober is Priestess! Perhaps the most well known Priestess of the ancient world was the Pythia, often called the Oracle, at Delphi.

Wink Murder in Spanish - the children asked one another their ages in Spanish while the murderer went to work! Well done to the #Year4 detectives who spotted them! @BansteadPrep #primarylanguages #mfl

[Helen Abbott @BPS_Languages]

I was so impressed with the stories that 4P @BansteadPrep produced in a single lesson. It's amazing where all those animals get to! #mfl #primarylanguages

[Helen Abbott @BPS_Languages]

Love it when children spot links between languages. Well done to Hunter (Yr 3) who spotted how similar French and Spanish numbers are and to Thomas (Yr 6) who immediately cited the word "salutations" when he learnt that salve in Latin means hello! @BansteadPrep #mfl #classics
