It contains countless colouring in pages, opportunities for children to become acquainted with gender and number agreement, mathematics in French and several puzzles and games.

The cost of this workbook is ₤6. There is a promotion available where you can buy both the presentation and the accompanying workbook for just ₤10!
Les vingt jours de l’été powerpoint: Do you feel your students need to revise numbers 1-20, colours, fruit and gender and agreement? Look no further, as this presentation is designed to do so.
The learning of such vocabulary is set in the theme of ‘the twelve days of Christmas’. I have titled it as ‘les vingt jours de l’été’ (The 20 days of summer) as summer is a very popular season for cultivating fruit. As you go through each slide, you sing along each slide to the very same melody, taking the necessary slow singing as you approach every fifth item. The melody changes slightly when you go through the 6th-20th days of summer as they need to have the same melody when the Christmas song sung is sung from the 6th-12th day of Christmas. You will need to change the melody to that when you come to the 6th-20th day of summer. During the first five days of summer at the beginning of the presentation feel free to click on the audio icon to hear me singing the examples and also at the end of the presentation, click on the another audio icon and you will hear me singing the entire song, so that you get the idea of how to sing it.
Also, there are quizzes of different levels and a follow-up story with more differentiated quizzes to follow. This package is designed for Key Stage 1 primary French (native French nationals/ gifted and talented students) and Key Stage 2 primary French (learners of a weaker ability)
This package revises the following items:
Numbers from 1-20
Ordinal numbers from 1-21
Colours
Names of fruit
Gender and agreement
Accompanying workbooks: The accompanying workbooks both lower and higher level from the presentation ‘Vingt jours de l’été’ exhibits pages and pages of activities and colouring in for primary Key stage 1 and 2 French. It contains countless colouring in pages, opportunities for children to become acquainted with gender and number agreement, mathematics in French and several puzzles and games. This workbook is ideal for learners of a weaker ability.
