Linda Ashton, Year 1 Teacher, Dane Royd Junior, Infant & Nursery School, Wakefield "This comprehensive series of interactive activities excited and engaged every child as they danced, sang and played whilst absorbing some new vocabulary. The materials were clearly structured and instantly accessible. This is an excellent resource which enables children to absorb a foreign language from an early age. It promoted enthusiasm, confidence and motivation. The scheme specifically enriches work in Geography, Literacy and PSHCE curricula”.
