Exciting Times...

We have got an exciting year in store for you all here in the MFL Department!
You are going to have the opportunity to take part in some projects with students who go to schools in Europe.  We are to work with a French school and a Czech School on two Etwinning projects in the coming year.

Collège St. Exupéry, Bourges, France
This school is right in the centre of France and we are going to work together on a joint Blog (similar to this one).  Our project Je blogue, tu blogues...Let's Blog! is one that anyone who learns French at Ian Ramsey can take part in.  You can do this in two ways.  Firstly you will work in groups with me to produce material for the Blog...maybe a slideshow, maybe a podcast, maybe a video... and I will add it to the Blog.  Secondly, the students in Bourges will also produce things for the Blog that you can look at and then comment on - just like you do on this Blog.  You may find that you make new friends through this project!(Whey not visit their teacher's blog for her students: Le blog de fcd2)

Gymázium Vysoké Mýto, Vysoké Mýto, Czech Republic
This school is near the Polish border in the Czech Republic and we are going to do something a bit different with them.  We will work on a joint German e-magazine.  Deutsch bringt uns zusammen! is a magazine that you can create articles for and have them published.  Again, we will work together on these articles and, once ready I will publish them in the magazine  The students in Vysoké Mýto will also do the same and we will build up a wonderful magazine together over the year - whilst also making friends with people in the Czech Republic!

What this space for news of video-conferencing/chatting with the Czech Republic on European Languages Day, a Spanish Etwinning Project and a history project with the Netherlands!
