I have put together a couple of fun listening activities based around Christmas in French on a glog to be used with my classes. You can download the questions for La maison de Père Noël here and the answers are linked into the glog. As for the irritating Pigloo, you can download the noel gap fill questions here. I must thank the lovely Lesley Welsh who freely shared the pigloo gapfill at her wonderfull SSAT lead practitioners event. If you want to use this glog, the link is http://charte.glogster.com/Noel-Flip-lesson---listening-for-fun/
Wow, what a beautiful glog! Thank you for sharing it!

Thank you very much Esther, that is very kind of you. I love atantot and I have just realised that you are in Quebec -we ran an exchange to Saint-Hyacinthe 60km east of Montreal in March -there was huge amounts of snow and it was freezing cold (il faisait fret (sp???)) but what a beautiful place! Dans tous les cas - joyeux noel!!!

HI Chris, yes I am from Quebec, but I live in the UK. They have lots of snow already at home... I miss the snow! Are you doing the exchange again this year?

Unfortunately, we only do it once every two years. We had an amazing time - dog sleds, ice skating on frozen lakes (oh the risk assessment!!!!), la ville de Québec, Montréal - there was the biggest snow storm for 20 years while we were there, it makes me laugh that everyone panics with a little flurry of snow here and in Québec there were the snow banks several metres high! Students loved it too and came back with a little Canadian twang to their French speaking!

How will it be with the CRB checks for you? I've read that it will be compulsary by Oct 2009?
Coming back to the glogster theme, I set a hw for my Year 8 German and already I have received 3 glogsters and they are great! My pupils have to write about a German speaking composer, here is the one I gave as example:
