Bonjour,
These are a few activities that worked really well for me last week.
This is for me to remember in my practice what games, songs, etc. work and also share my ideas with you.
I.D. card
In Year 5 we are taking a ‘pretend’ trip to France this half
term and before setting on our journey we’re looking at passports and ID cards
so we can go though passport control.
This week we’re making our own French ID card using this
template :
Introducing fruits with Year 3.
This half term, in Year 3 we are looking at fruits and
vegetables, healthy eating and reading a story about a hungry giant.
Last week we started by learning the name of 5 fruits: une banane,
une pomme, un poire, une pêche, un abricot.
Most of these are
cognates or near cognates so I wanted to focus on accuracy in pronunciation and
special features such as accents.
I find that often children have problems with
mute ‘e’ at the end of words (banane) – which they sound like ‘a’ and also
silent letters at the end of words (abricot).
I thought of an action to help them remember not to say
these letters and thought it would be easier to explain through a video…
(please don’t laugh !) You can also see me putting my hat on for the circumflex
accent in pêche . If the video doesn't play on your device you can find it here.
On the topic of fruits, veg and food in general here are a
couple of video which I’ll be using:
What about you? What worked well for you last week?
