This resource uniquely looks at numbers in the 70s in French. Go through the powerpoint with the children, looking at the numbers which all start with ‘soixante-’. Re-iterate to the children that numbers which contain a ‘1’ in the units, all have the word ‘et’ in the middle of the word. Explain to the children that they also require to know the numbers in the tens when forming numbers in the 70s. This resource also looks at expressing age and the use of the third person singular form of the verb ‘avoir’. The lower level looks at numbers, age and ‘il’ and ‘elle’. The higher level looks at the years when people were born in as well as numbers, age, extended use of ‘il’ or ‘elle’ and adjectival agreement. It also incorporates the use of possessive adjectives for ‘je’ and ‘tu’ such as ‘mon/ma/ton/ta’. There is also extra more complex material for the more able students and in particular, the gifted and talented as it also explores as to whether one is in their early, mid or late seventies. If there are gifted and talented learners or native French speaking learners present in the class, go through the higher level material with them. There is a differentiated follow-up quiz. Play the quiz with the students. After the presentation of the numbers, get the students to copy out the numbers in the attached assigned workbook and then complete the listening activity. If there is time in the lesson, get the learners to complete the subsequent activities such as filling out the speech bubbles while selecting the correct answer. For the higher level activity, assume the year is 2020 as that is when the workbook was created. For homework, the children can complete the mathematical questions. As a plenary, play the picture pair game with them. I will be uploading more resources for numbers in the 80s, 90s and 100s. Feel free to look out for them! Happy teaching and learning!

Welcome to the tenth installment of months of the year, weather and seasons. This resource is geared towards learners of Key Stage 2 level and it focuses on the month of September and associated weather and season. Present the numbers from 1-31 in French first of all and then ask the children if their birthday is in October. Ensure you tell the students that the first of the month is ‘le premier’. Ask them the question, ‘c’est quand, ton anniversaire’. Encourage them to reply ‘mon anniversaire, c’est le ____ octobre’. Present the story and vocabulary to them. They are also available in the workbooks. The children can look at their workbooks as the story is presented on the board. If there are gifted and talented students in the class or native French speakers, present the more complex vocabulary to them which is ‘il ne fait plus chaud’, ‘il est orageux’ and ‘il y a une inondation’. Get the students to complete the classwork such as the mix and match activity and the listening activity. When completing the listening activity, be sure to alternate between the lower level and the higher level questions. Next, the students can colour in the autumn picture in their workbook and then cut out the pictures and the labels from the sheet overleaf and label the colouring in sheet by sticking the correct pictures and labels together. Play the quiz with the students. There are differentiated levels on the quiz and each student should select which level they feel most comfortable with. There is also differentiated homework which revises the weather vocabulary from January to October. Happy teaching and learning!

Firstly, do a re-cap of the use of ‘tu’ or ‘vous’ by playing a quiz with the students as forming questions follows on from this. After the quiz, get students to read the each question (you can get them to repeat after you if they have difficulty in pronouncing the words). Ask the class then to raise their hand if they think the correct answer is either ‘A’ or ‘B’. Ask them why they think or what tells them that that is the correct answer. Play the dice game after the presentation and then get the students to then copy down the vocabulary on slide 51 if you wish or you can hand out the poster on the use of ‘est-ce que’ and question words’.
