Cloud Cuckoo World

Posted: 23 May 2012 10:00 AM PDT

Cloud Cuckoo World is a new site that has been set up to support teachers with their MFL lessons. The site is based on bird characters who live up on ‘Cloud Cuckoo’ and it includes 20 short dual language stories with full audio. Children can also visit Cloud Cuckoo ‘places’ to learn specific vocabulary based around certain themes, eg: the school, town or home.

The site is subscription based but there are a number of free stories and a free place activity on the site for teachers and pupils to try. Each story is followed by a selection of activities to reinforce the new language that children have learnt. The site was created by an ex primary school teacher. Visit the site here.
