You have plenty of material. Drop by when you are next in school to pick up your folders Sigi and Alex, but you have plenty of other material, so don’t fret! I shall also be putting material on www.wheatleyparkblogs.co.uk/german so keep an eye on this site. Email me with any problems on cs7023@wheatley-park.oxon.sch.uk.

Tip: Spend most of the time on role plays and the conversation questions. The presentation is only a lead into the first topic, not a speech.
