Near future tense with activities year 7
Powerpoint recaps hobbies/ activities with infinitive verbs then introduces the Aller paradigm to form the near future tense. Slides gradually remove support and can be used for recall, games (bingo, beat the teacher) and listening activities. Regular prompts for stretch and challenge pupils. Includes a short quiz for AFL and a differentiated reading activity sheet with prompts for writing task and success criteria. I have included answer sheets for the starter activity to support SEND with self-assessment task. Could be used across two lessons to consolidate learning.

Future simple - healthy living
Practising the future tense endings using the topic of healthy living. You will need to print out the phrases describing each photograph to create a card sort (pupils can use highlighters on the sentences if they are printed on paper). I have included a worksheet that could be turned into a double-sided word mat and laminated, for pupils to write on using a board marker then use as an aid for remembering the endings when they form their sentences.

Year 7 introduction to basic vocabulary
Colours, alphabet, greetings and numbers, with slides outlining learning objectives. I have put these topics into a sequence for the start of year 7. There are links to songs on the powerpoint. Could be improved visually but the slides are whole-class activities in themselves with instructions for pupils.
