Here are few resources I have prepared for my year 6 pupils. You will find an ‘encore une fois’ speaking/reading activity (one child picks some food or a drink and the other child has to guess what his/her partner has chosen. Every time they get it wrong, they read from the start). You will also find a worksheet on food and opinions. I have also prepared a snakes and ladders board with pictures to practise saying name of food and drinks. I have also included a 5 in a 5 differentiated row board game that they can play in pairs (one with written support, one without). To help them design a food poster and sorting food into food groups, I have found some French poster. This can used as a way to recap food and drinks. Finally there is a blockbuster game (boys vs girls) with food and drinks.

Based on French sentence builders (primary part 1, the Language Gym), here is a very simplified powerpoint to recap feelings and adjectives. For each slide pupils have to choose the sentence that matches the pictures. They can write their answer on their mini-whiteboard or say it orally. I made this powerpoint for my lower ability group who struggle to write in the target language. The last slide can be used to recap all the vocabulary. Tell them an English sentence and pupils write the translation using numbers and letters. To go alongside the powerpoint is a worksheet to working on writing and reading skills.

les chiffres 1 a 100 et les prix en euros avec la nourriture

(0)
Here is a powerpoint I prepare to recap/ introduce gradually numbers 1 to 100. It aims at practising saying, reading and writing prices in euros. Prior to this lesson I taught various food and drinks and wanted to reuse this topic to learn how to say prices in euros. The first few slides aim at recaping numbers. From slide 5 I introduce how to say prices with decimals and want the children to write on their whiteboard or the attached worksheet the prices in words. There is plenty of written on each slide to help the pupil write the words correctly. From slides 9 I want the pupils to guess the prices of essential items (speaking), I can only help them by telling them ‘plus eleve’/ ‘inferieur’ or ‘plus bas’ /‘superieur’ . From slide 17 the pupils have to read the words and write the prices in words.Then I introduce numbers 70 to 100. From slide 25, pupils have to write prices in words and then from slide 30 they have to write the prices as a number.On the next slides I introduce the Euro coins and bank notes.

Practising the future tense with speaking and writing tasks  on the topic of holidays

Practising the future tense with speaking and writing tasks on the topic of holidays

(0)
Here is a range of activities for pupils to practise the future tense. The activities are all related to the holiday topic. I prepared three differentiated tasks. I made a fairly easy one to use for the lower ability pupils focusing mainly on the first person of the singular. The other two sets of cards have more challenging vocabulary (countries, leisure, time expressions, various pronouns and expressing a few opinions). These speaking tasks would suit year 10/11 who needs to practise their oral. It can also support them for writing about their future holidays by modelling correct use of future tense. The speaking tasks are to be used in pairs or in a group (one pupil shows the card, he/she hides one sentence and the others have to translate it in the other language).The quickest pupils to translate it correctly wins the card, at the end they count who has the most cards. After several speaking practices, pupils work on the worksheet (two different levels). I have also attached the correct answers for the writing tasks.
