back to school!

Many children (and teachers!) are going back to school after long summer holidays. You will find lots of activities about school on LearnEnglish Kids including online games to practise school vocabulary, a story about a school for superheroes, flashcards and worksheets to download and print, and a song.

song - quiet please!

Quiet Please is a great song for younger children, and for children who are beginning to learn English. With this song your child can practise words for things they could find in the classroom and typical phrases. There is a worksheet to download, plus you can find song files and sheet music to download. You will need to register for these free downloads.

pron pal - school

Download Pron Pal onto your computer and practise pronunciation with your child. With the latest version you can listen to words and phrases related to school. Have fun recording yourselves saying the words. You will need to register for this free download.

tips for teachers and parents

Parents can find tips for using the school activities with their child at home on the LearnEnglish Parents website. You will find ideas for some fun games to play using the flashcards of school objects. Teachers can find lots of ideas for using the activities in class on the British Council/BBC website Teaching English.

We are pleased to announce that we will be running the Old Possum's Children's poetry competition again this year, with the Children's Poetry Bookshelf. The competition will open on September 10th. The topic this year will be Heroes and Heroines. Find details of the competition.
