National curriculum
Languages
Pupils should be taught to:
- Present ideas and information orally.
- Improve accuracy of pronunciation.
See link: National curriculum - Languages - Key stage 2.
Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: can use the unit’s Knowledge Organiser for support for writing. Play the noughts and crosses game in a small group to rehearse the vocabulary.
Pupils working at greater depth: could begin to create their own family tree/web, writing sentences about their family.
During the week
- Introducing the family: watch the link: 'BBC Teach: KS2 -Meet the family', where Lili presents her family to Ben. Notice the use of the words for ‘your’ – ton, ta, tes, which follow the same pattern as mon, ma, mes.
- Family fruit salad: for your PE warm-up, sit pupils in a circle with one child in the middle. Give each child a family member to be, for example, mon oncle, ma mère, The child in the middle calls out a family member and everyone with that name has to run to a new space. The last person left goes into the middle.
- Family web: Using the Activity: Family web, join words together to make a sentence about a family member. The second page of the Activity gives an example. Use a different coloured pen for each sentence to create a ‘web’.
