Primary French: Number 4 (Key Stage 1)

Hello and welcome to the third installment of introducing numbers at primary Key Stage 1 level. Because of the students’ very young ages, it is recommended to gradually introduce the numbers to them session by session. This resource introduces the number 4 to them in French. Go through the powerpoint with them introducing the numbers to them and get them to say how many shapes there are on the slides. At the end, I have designed a song in the theme of London Bridge. You could try singing it to them in that particular melody. I did it with my class and even the students started to join in even though I was demonstrating it to them! There is a subsequent differentiated workbook for the students to colour in and complete with some French mathematics! You can assign whichever level workbook to the students depending on how comfortable they feel with that level or whether or not they are able. The level 2 workbook focuses on more complex questions and mathematical sums such as multiplications and divisions, whereas the level 1 workbook does not. There is also a wordsearch. Get the students to find the words ‘un’, ‘deux’, ‘trois’ and ‘quatre’ as many as possible. Do keep an eye out for the subsequent numbers from 5-10. Happy teaching and learning!
