Teaching Tips

• Children should create their own, individual storymap – this activity should not be done in pairs or groups. They should decide on their own pictures, not just try to copy the flashcards.

• Use any opportunity through the week to tell the story, ask one of the children to tell the story, or use language from the story.

Do one thing!

How you can practise the new language

• Revisit the activities and adjectives that are not in the story – they will be reintroduced soon

What you can do with your class

• Reinforce activities and adjectives that are not in the story, as they will be reintroduced later on. Use flashcards or actions as prompts and to show understanding

Classroom Routine

• Greet the class in French ‘Bonjour’ ‘Au revoir’ and take the register in French as before.

• Use numbers, weather, names of sports, adjectives and the seasons in French as often as you can, and ask children for reasons why they dislike different activities. Include activities and reasons that are not in the story if you can.
