Primary / KS3 Resources
Designed for older primary pupils and younger secondary learners, these resources introduce students to a range of influential Black figures from the French, Spanish and German-speaking world.
Through a variety of reading-based tasks, students develop comprehension skills while learning about the achievements, experiences and contributions of these inspiring individuals.
The activities reinforce familiar language and key topics, including:
- Nationalities and countries
- Physical descriptions
- Personality adjectives
- Basic personal information
Students are also encouraged to become confident language detectives, using cognates, context clues and prior knowledge to infer the meaning of unfamiliar words and phrases independently. This helps build reading confidence while developing transferable language-learning skills that can be applied beyond the classroom.
