This is a French farm animals reading and writing activity suitable for Key Stage 2 for use with Year 3 and/or 4. I am using for my Year 3s this year. It can be used as a follow up to learning the vocabulary for farm animal and for consolidating writing numbers to ten. There are two activities using pictures of animals in farm yards: Match the Description to the Picture which could be done as a whole class or paired activity. There are three descriptions. The descriptions list the animals in the picture and the children have to say whether it is description A or B. The second activity is to Write a Description of the Picture. There are three versions: mild, medium and spicy for different ability levels. This activity also helps the children practice identifying and writing numbers. Please leave feedback if you like it!
