Learning objective
- To recognise and use phrases to say if I have a brother or sister
National curriculum
Languages
Pupils should be taught to:
- Read carefully and show understanding of simple writing.
- Speak in sentences using familiar vocabulary.
Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: can either have a printed copy of the matching cards uncut, or keep their matched cards on the table to use as a support for writing. The unit Knowledge Organiser will also be a useful support resource.
Pupils working at greater depth: can move on to Siblings activity Sheet 2, a gap fill task which further focuses on the phrase structure. Challenge any fast- finishers to begin to write their own sentence and draw a matching picture about a real, imagined, fictional or historical family.
During the week
- Start each day by sharing an example of a French word or phrase that we ‘borrow’ in English without a translation, for example ‘unique’, ‘croissant’, ‘rendezvous’, ‘RSVP’.
- Depending on the children in your class and circumstances, ask the question during register, Tu as des frères et soeurs ? – Do you have brothers or sisters? – children respond with details about their family.
