Learning objective
- To understand and recognise what are cognates and near cognates
- To give and receive instructions that include shape, size and colour vocabulary
National curriculum
Languages
Pupils should be taught to:
- Engage in conversations, ask and answer questions.
- Present ideas and information orally.
Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Can focus on asking for just the shapes at first, then building up to using colour and/or size as they become more confident.
Pupils working at greater depth: Challenge these children to ask for a shape using both size and colour adjectives and to ask for more than one shape at a time. They can also be challenged to use the word ‘et’ to create longer sentences e.g je voudrais un petit cercle rouge et un grand triangle bleu.
During the week
- Continue practising your greetings and feelings vocabulary from ‘French, Year 3, French greetings with puppets’ as you take the register at each end of the day.
- Display the animal names and photos of the children’s compositions – can the children find a picture to match each name?
- Create your own giant Matisse art – ‘L’escargot’ is popular and easy to make with large squares of sugar paper.
