Easter in France phonics focus.

This lesson is focused on pupils mastering the key phonemes EU/CH/IN/OU/ER through language specific to the theme of Easter.The lesson contains a Power Point with embedded sound files, instructions on each slide and answers that appear upon clicking.There is also a core language mat with the phonetic pronunciation. Pupils identify and practise the key sounds, are able to match words containing these to images for meaning then build spoken sentences through language retrieval, repetition and extension.They move on to writing the core language correctly by making sound-spelling links that enable them to insert the correct phonemes into each of the core words.Pupils watch a cartoon clip in French that contains some familiar language and use their detective skills to identify further words containing the phoneme OU.At the same time they learn about the Easter tradition in France and give a spoken summary of what they have understood.They practise writing the core vocabulary in Easter shapes to fix the sound-spelling links.
There is also a link to an extra intercultural understanding activity on Euroclub schools
