Learning objective
- To say items that are in a school bag and recognise if they are masculine or feminine
National curriculum
Languages
Pupils should be taught to:
- Describe people, places, things and actions orally and in writing.
- Understand basic grammar appropriate to the language being studied, including (where relevant): feminine, masculine and neuter forms and the conjugation of high-frequency verbs; key features and patterns of the language; how to apply these, for instance, to build sentences; and how these differ from or are similar to English.
Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: reduce the number of words as appropriate, focusing on these items in each game. They may require either peer or adult support to recall and pronounce vocabulary accurately.
Pupils working at greater depth: could be challenged to ‘be the teacher’ and lead an activity; should be able to create longer phrases naming multiple items.
During the week
- Make, or encourage the children to design, labels for different equipment in the classroom. (You could do this with other home languages found within your class/school too.)
- Use a class French-English dictionary to find other items the children might have in their bags and decide whether they would go in the ‘boy’ bag or ‘girl’ bag.
- Get the children to name items as they use them or put them away at the end of a lesson.
