The following slideshare shows a small selection of pages from the 'Big Book of French Colours' produced by Class 5 pupils during 2006-7. If you would like to see all of the pupils' work included, please feel free to visit school at any time... media type="custom" key="5675833"

Here's a short youtube video in which a very clever tortoise introduces us to some French colour words. Why not watch it just to refresh your memory?

Created by language teacher, Dominic McGladdery, the simple text introduces a variety of wierd and wonderful, brightly coloured creatures!

__Now for some on-line games...__

Firstly, a simple [|listening comprehension] to test your understanding of colour vocabulary.

What about a [|game of snap?]

Or you could test your memory skills with a [|game of pairs!]

Why not try out this [|labelling game] which will test whether you can read and understand nine French colour words. Go on ... challenge yourself !

This next exercise tests your reading skills too. Just select the correct sentence from the drop-down box to [|describe each little bird] - it's as easy as that!

 How about an exciting [|bash-it style game?] Choose your weapon and try to hit the colour words as they fly across the screen! Take care though - there are other words thrown in just to confuse you!

 Finally, here's another [|listening comprehension], but this time you may have to remember more than one colour so it's like a test of memory too!

Why not take a look at the Trois Souris Peintres page where you will find more examples of the pupils' work based on a popular children's story about three mischievious mice who mix different colours of paint together with their tiny feet!
