Northgate, Broadland, Litcham and Hellesdon have been working together to involve pupils in projects where they use their languages to create a product for a client. Here are details of each project, considerations of the implications for the curriculum and some materials.
Introduction to the Linkedup Project. I recommend you read this first, to understand what we were aiming to achieve:

Gressenhall Stamper Trail lesson resources. Here’s what we use in class. Of course, the exciting bit is when pupils step away from the Farm Animal resources, and use all the French they’ve been learning throughout the year:

The Art Gallery Project resources. Here are the worksheets to go with the Art Exhibition Project. They are aimed at reinforcing literacy, but you could adapt them for other groups. In which case, probably start with the final one and work your way back up:

Here are the Chocolate Cake Poster and the Snow Poster. Check that text boxes don’t need adjusting before you print, and maybe edit out my name before you pin them up on the classroom wall… Chocolate Cake YB2 and Snow YB We have them on the doors so pupils are reminded everytime they come in/out.
