Welcome to the first installment of the parts of the body and ailments for Key Stage 2. This resource is centered on the masculine parts of the body and ailments, in terms of ‘j’ai mal au’. Due to its complexity, it is advisable to introduce the different genders of the parts of the body as well as the grammar, week by week. For the lesson structure: Go through the powerpoint regarding the parts of the body with the students. You could start with the game ‘Jacques a dit’ (Simon says). Then introduce ‘j’ai mal au’. Get the students to colour in the worksheets. On the first worksheet, get the students to colour in the letters in blue ‘à + le’ and ‘au’. Then they cut out the pictures and labels and stick them correctly onto the first sheet they coloured in. There are differentiated worksheets for this. The level 1 worksheet only contains ‘j’ai mal au dos, au bras, au ventre’. The level 2 worksheets contain the aforementioned items, also including ‘j’ai mal au genou’. If you have time at the end of the lesson, you can play the quiz with the class. There are differentiated questions with answers!! Do keep a look out for the subsequent editions such as the feminine parts of the body, parts of the body which start with a vowel or the silent ‘h’ and plural parts of the body. Happy teaching and learning!

Hello and welcome to the second 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 3 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’ and ‘trois’ as many as possible. Do keep an eye out for the subsequent numbers from 4-10. Happy teaching and learning!
