I think this book is a fantastic resource - full of interesting information .... and it's nice that it includes recipes that the children can try out at home.

Has lots of interesting information in, and the advantage is that it's all in one place and nicely laid out. However, I was under the impression that there would be more photocopiable worksheets available, and although there are a few, there's nothing that I couldn't have done myself, or that the children would be interested to fill in. It's mainly a teacher's notes book, and perhaps over priced as we can get all of this information on the internet these days. It did give me ideas of what to teach throughout the year though, regarding the 'intercultural understanding' aspect of the KS2 Framework for languages.
