PRIMARY LATIN FRUITS WORD WALL My word wall cards are really popular with my younger learners - they create an instant introduction to scrumptious fruits in Latin, and generally give our learning environment a Latin look and feel every day, really bringing the language to life. There are 20 fruits - we don’t actually have all 20 fruits in our learning plan, we use them for developing language skills and awareness in general. I’ve included a selection of genders, including a common gender. I’ve also included several plurals too - this is so useful for beginning discussions about patterns in the formation of plurals. We talk a lot aboutsimilarities and differences in language, for example the lack of the ‘the’ word, and identify cognates and near cognates. We discuss fruits we know and like, and fruits we’d like to try (fig is a particular favourite!).
The fruits are:
= red apple / red apples
= banana / bananas
= cherries
= dates
= fig
= purple/red grapes
= lemon
= mango / mangoes
= olive / olives
= orange / oranges
= papaya / papayas
= peach / peaches
= pear / pears
= pineapple / pineapples
= pumpkin / pumpkins
= raspberry / raspberries
= redcurrants
= rhubarb
= strawberry / strawberries
= watermelon
There are two cards per 8.5 x 11 (A4) page in landscape format - the words are definitely big enough for children to be able to read from various locations in the classroom, so that we can really make the most of the word wall as a learning resource - for example, we do lots of guessing, spelling and vocab race games, usually with mini-whiteboards or notepads - students love these games! There are two backgrounds to choose from, purple/lilac and black wave. I always laminate or print on card stock - if you can, I’d definitely recommend that you do the same - you’ll be able to enjoy your LATIN FRUITS word wall for years to come!
