Primary French: Number 6 (Key Stage 1)

(0)
Hello and welcome to the fifth 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 6 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’, ‘quatre’, ‘cinq’ and ‘six’ Do keep an eye out for the subsequent numbers from 7-10. Happy teaching and learning!

Hello and welcome to the first installment of school subjects and ‘-er’ verbs at Key Stage 2 level. This may be the first time, Key Stage 2 school children will become acquainted with ‘er’ verbs and school subjects in French. Attached is a powerpoint and differentiated colouring in workbooks. My methodology is as follows: Go through the powerpoint with the children. Get them to say the missing endings of the verbs and the missing school subject. Play the noughts and crosses game as a follow-up activity. On slide 111, get them to copy out the vocabulary if you wish or you can print off the slide and give it to them as a vocabulary list. On slide 112, the children can select whichever differentiated work they wish to complete in class and whatever they feel most comfortable with. The next lesson: Hand out the colouring in workbooks to the children. Selectively distribute whichever level workbook that you feel they could cope with. Get them to colour in the endings of the conjugated verbs and ask them to go over the grey words in the box with their pencil. They can also colour in the cartoons too if they wish. Get them to colour in the flags according to the languages. If you have time during class, they can complete the work on slides 19-21 or they can complete it for homework. They are going to be more installments for other verbs and other school subjects. Do keep and eye out for them! Happy teaching and learning!
