Pupils needing extra support: Provide visual clues and actions throughout the activity to support understanding.

Pupils working at greater depth: Challenge children to label their finished picture using words or phrases that they have learned previously such as shape and colour. They may be able to give their picture a title using a newly learnt word, eg c’est un serpent rouge et vert – it’s a red and green snake.

• 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 your Matisse gallery in a corridor or hall – ask visitors to spot the animals.
• Use the animal names for a mime game. Do a mime and ask: Qu’est-ce que c’est ?
• Create your own list of animal names to share and display as a class word bank (with Matisse pictures to illustrate).
• Choose one child to share their work each day and describe which shapes they have used.
• Matisse or not? Show a series of French artwork pieces by various artists (Matisse,  Seurat, Monet, Degas, etc). The children have to decide if it is Monet: oui or non.
