Hello and welcome to the sixth 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 7 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. 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’ , ‘six’ and ‘sept’. Do keep an eye out for the subsequent numbers from 8-10. Happy teaching and learning!

The following irregular verbs which are explored are as follows: etre avoir recevoir savoir faire mettre croire vouloir connaitre prendre dire lire voir ouvrir devoir pouvoir boire Get the students to read through the cartoons about Xavier’s week. Ask the students the follow up questions and ask what their thoughts are. Reveal the answers to them on the next slide.

Welcome to the third installment of a specialised curriculum for learners with SEN who are significantly struggling with French or learners who have joined your class late into the academic year, who have no knowledge of French at all. This resource looks at the first part of Unit 1: Greetings, which is on focused on ‘Où habites-tu’ and ‘J’habite à …’, as well as various cities in French. The students look at the vocabulary list and then read the cartoons, followed by questioning on the cartoons. They then can draw a cartoon strip based on what they have learnt. I will be installing additional episodes of this specialised curriculum. Please do keep an eye out for them. Happy teaching and learning!

This resource exclusively looks at basic prepositions such as ‘sur’, ‘sous’ and ‘dans’. I have also included more complex material for more able students such as ‘a côté de’, ‘au fond de’ and ‘en face de’. This is ideal for teachers following Tricolore book 1.

This resource explicitly explores the use of the passive voice in the past, which is introduced towards the end of the IGCSE programme and prepares students for the A-Level programme. In this resource, get students to look at the differences between the active voice and the passive voice on slides 2-10. Next, get the students to read the speech bubbles in the cartoons and after each example, get them to answer the questions using both the active and the passive voice. Feel free to provide extra support for those who are less able. After the story, get the students to practise forming the passive voice by conjugating the sample verb ‘etre vu’ and then they can select any activity that they feel most comfortable with. I would recommend the gifted and talented to attempt activity 4, whereas the less able students should attempt activity 1. Happy teaching and learning!

This resource looks at pets and animals in French and also how to describe them. First of all, present the pets and animals to the class, going over the pronunciation and then play the memory game with them.

This resource explicitly looks at how to form questions using ‘est-ce que’ and how to incorporate question words into a question in the context of ‘manger’ (to eat). Firstly, do a re-cap of the use of ‘tu’ or ‘vous’ by playing a quiz with the students as forming questions follows on from this. After the quiz, get students to read the each question (you can get them to repeat after you if they have difficulty in pronouncing the words). Ask the class then to raise their hand if they think the correct answer is either ‘A’ or ‘B’. Ask them why they think or what tells them that that is the correct answer. Play the dice game after the presentation and then get the students to then copy down the vocabulary on slide 51 if you wish or you can hand out the poster on the use of ‘est-ce que’ and question words’. They then can complete the follow-up activities tailored to their level. I would recommend the gifted and talented students to complete activity 4 and the much less able students to complete activity 1. Happy teaching and learning!

Welcome to the third installment of months of the year, weather and seasons. This resource is geared towards learners of Key Stage 2 level and it focuses on the month of March and associated weather and season. Present the numbers from 1-31 in French first of all and then ask the children if their birthday is in March. Ensure you tell the students that the first of the month is ‘le premier’. Ask them the question, ‘c’est quand, ton anniversaire’. Encourage them to reply ‘mon anniversaire, c’est le ____ mars’ Present the story and vocabulary to them. They are also available in the workbooks. The children can look at their workbooks as the story is presented on the board. If there are gifted and talented students in the class or native French speakers, present the more complex vocabulary to them which is ‘il fait un beau temps’ / ‘il est venteux’. Get the students to complete the classwork such as the mix and match activity and the listening activity. When completing the listening activity, be sure to alternate between the lower level and the higher level questions. Next, the students can colour in the spring picture in their workbook and then cut out the pictures and the labels from the sheet overleaf and label the colouring in sheet by sticking the correct pictures and labels together. Play the quiz with the students. There are differentiated levels on the quiz and each student should select which level they feel most comfortable with. There is also a differentiated homework in the workbook available. Happy teaching and learning.
