Concept and characters As every child grows up, his or her year is punctuated by routines, events and occasions – some are ordinary and everyday, such as eating at school or cooking, while others are more momentous, such as a birthday or a holiday. It is these real-life situations and events, as experienced by real children, that are at the heart of Learn with Us.

All about Daisy

• Daisy and her friends having fun at the youth club (Unit 5) • Jobs at the TV studio (Unit 6) • Travelling around Europe (Unit E) Daisy accompanies the children throughout the unit, grounding their learning in the real-life context and encouraging them to immerse themselves in the language situation alongside our character.

All about Daisy’s family and friends

Daisy In Learn with Us 6, the children follow the real-life experiences of Daisy, an eleven-year-old British schoolchild. Daisy and her family and friends inhabit a world the children can easily relate to at home, at school or doing activities on holiday. In this way, the children are motivated to learn and use the language of real-life situations that are relevant to them, while also being invited to draw comparisons between the main characters’ and their own experiences. Learning alongside a real child in the UK will also raise their curiosity about English, provide opportunities to learn about other cultures and encourage them to develop the skills and competences shown by Daisy and her friends. The children are first introduced to Daisy in the Starter Unit as she and her family prepare afternoon tea for her grandparents who are returning from holiday in Spain. Through this they learn about her family, friends and interests – before her life is explored further through each unit. Each unit opens to a different event or a day in the life of Daisy and her family and friends. Daisy, along with her friends and family, are introduced first on video as real people before we enter their world on the page and see the same characters on the page. The context for the unit is always introduced via a short video of Daisy. This scene is then visualized in the large picture shown on the opening Class Book pages. This integration of video and pictures not only turns the ordinary, everyday situations into the extraordinary, but is also stimulating for the children, reflecting their own multimedia interests and experience. The real-life contexts for each unit in Learn with Us 6 are: • an introduction to Daisy and her family at their home preparing afternoon tea, and an introduction to Daisy’s friends (Starter Unit) • using technology safely to keep in touch with friends (Unit 1) • a trip to the countryside (Unit 2) • places in a train station (Unit 3) • a holiday on the coast (Unit 4)

Introduction to Learn with Us Learn with Us is a six-level course for children learning English from Primary 1 to Primary 6. It is a child-centred course that enables children of ALL abilities to learn by doing, to learn together, and to learn from each other. Learn with Us provides an unprecedented amount of real-life video as part of the exciting digital and print resources that are designed to work independently and in combination, allowing for maximum learner engagement and classroom efficiency, whether your classroom has an interactive whiteboard or not. At the heart of Learn with Us is real life. In each level of the course, the children follow the experiences of a British schoolchild, and share experiences and learning. This approach marks an important shift towards language for communication by structuring language learning around real children in real situations. In this way, language presentation can be focused on real-life situations and social interaction. A new child is introduced at each level of the course to reflect the children’s own changing life experiences and interests. As the learners progress through the levels, they can share and compare ideas about themselves and their lives to those of the characters, achieving a real sense of growing up together. The course is situation-based, with an event in the life of the child forming the starting point for each unit, e.g. a birthday, a trip, or going on holiday. The situation is introduced by the central character via an accompanying video. The central character then accompanies the children as they progress through each unit, using more videos to introduce stories, documentary-style culture videos and unit projects, bringing each to life. In addition to these characterled videos, there are animated songs, as well as attractive

colour animations of all the unit stories, and a selection of interactive games and other types of games. The stories form an important feature of the course, with a rich variety across all six levels. They not only provide a meaningful context for the language, but bring creativity and imagination to the classroom, captivating and inspiring young minds. The stories also provide a useful springboard into linked activities, such as the values focus. In this way, the children form important connections between the values they see played out in the story and their own social development. Learn with Us is underpinned by a sound competence-based learning methodology, ensuring that the Competences for 21st century learning are developed. Activity rubrics are often competence-based, and include thinking-skills activities and challenges that require the children to work collaboratively and stretch themselves cognitively. Likewise, a variety of activities which appeal to multiple intelligences, such as individual and collaborative project work, quizzes and games, ensure every child remains challenged and active in their learning. Drawing on the real-world content of the course, critical-thinking and self-evaluation skills are also developed by encouraging the children to be curious about and question the world around them, while also reflecting on their own interactions. Studying English with Learn with Us also naturally activates curiosity about other cultures. By focussing on a day in the life of a British child, the opening context for each unit is overtly cultural, and is also enriched by video clips rooted in British culture. The children are invited to explore and think about the world presented to them, comparing the character’s life to their own. The specific Culture lessons in each unit also vividly bring a part of British culture to life. The children follow this lesson with a cross-curricular topic linked to the theme of the unit, allowing them to continually review and build on their language-learning. Making links to other subject areas in this way extends the meaning and perspective of what the children have learnt, and broadens their horizons. Learn with Us offers a wide range of activities and materials that acknowledge individual learning styles and allow you to cater for mixedabilities within your class. The children are encouraged to work at their own ability level, with reinforcement and extension resources and two-levels of tests to provide additional flexibility.

Learning with Learn with Us Classroom Presentation Tool (CPT)

Activity Book with Online Practice

The CPT presentation materials for Learn with Us are engaging and varied. They include unit-introduction videos with Daisy, culture films, cross-curricular slideshow presentations, story animations, song animations, functional language conversations, pronunciation games and review games. There are also interactive practice games designed to be played during Lessons 1, 2, 5 and 6, providing further exposure to core language and allowing for well-timed comprehension checking. A bank of these games is also provided in the Resources section of the CPT to allow for revision and recycling when needed. The CPT also offers all the pages of the Class Book and Activity Book on screen, for easy reference and to aid classroom management, e.g. for helping the children to navigate to the correct page in their own printed Class Books / Activity Books, and for quick and easy access to audio tracks or answer keys. The CPT is easy to navigate with the material clearly divided into units and lessons.

The Activity Book with Online Practice has been designed to bring together all that the children have learnt in the lesson beforehand, consolidating and reinforcing content and language from the Class Book and CPT presentations and practice. In lessons which aim to practise core vocabulary and grammar, the Activity Book serves to provide independent reading practice as well as listening practice and written production. In lessons which centre on other types of content, e.g. the unit story, culture and crosscurricular content, the Activity Book is an effective means of checking concepts and understanding, and consolidating what the children have learnt in the previous stages of the lesson. The Activity Book also affords the children the chance to review the vocabulary they have been learning and to explore and break down the rules of the grammar they are studying, as well as enabling them to input creatively and imaginatively, by personalizing the content they have learnt. For example, in Lesson 2, the main rules of the target structure are presented through a table which allows the children to think about the form and use of the grammar. In Lessons 3 and 4, the activities allow the children to make links to their own country or region and to personalize the unit language creatively in a way most meaningful to each child. In Lesson 5, the children are asked to choose statements that apply the story value to their own lives. Finally and importantly, it provides scaffolding to ensure a successful and motivating outcome for the end-of-unit project in Lesson 9.

Class Book The Class Book lessons have been carefully staged to allow smooth and natural progression: from the presentation stage provided by the CPT material, flashcards or Class Audio, to simple activities demonstrating active recognition of the language, then finally to practise of the language via engaging activities such as games, role plays, or listening and speaking activities, supported by further practice games on the CPT. The rubrics in the Class Book are addressed to the child, rather than the teacher, and include critical-thinking challenges that allow the children to personally invest in the material, as well as scaffolded communication games and tasks that require the children to work cooperatively. Likewise, at the end of each unit in the Class Book the children create a project, which allows them not only to consolidate their learning, but to also to work independently and personalize the language they have encountered in the unit in a way that is meaningful for them. In this way their enthusiasm for speaking English is heightened.

Skills Listening and speaking The high-quality audio-visual material supplied on the CPT affords the children plenty of aural recognition before they are required to produce the language. The ideal combination of clear listening models of spoken English with strong visual support means that the children are able to develop notable confidence as they hear words and phrases for the first time and understand them without ambiguity. Equally, the clear and easy-to-follow models provided on the Class Audio allow for quick and accessible models that stimulate the children’s accurate recognition of the language before they are expected to produce it themselves. Listening skills and aural confidence are further developed through listening to a range of motivating texts and stories with varied comprehension tasks in both the Class Book and the Activity Book with Online Practice. These also help develop learner independence and to prepare the children for practical everyday tasks in English. In Learn with Us 6, speaking practice at sentence-level is integrated into every lesson and builds on language the children have already learnt in previous levels. New vocabulary is introduced in the context of a familiar grammar structure. Spoken accuracy of new language is developed through activities which encourage repetition following a model, provided by the CPT and on the Class Audio CDs, as well as through oral pairwork activities, songs, oral comprehension questions, speaking dialogues that practise functional language exchanges, controlled practice games and personalization activities. Speaking cards in the Activity Book provide practice of exam-style pairwork speaking and the Conversation cards in the Class Book also offers pairwork practice of longer functional language dialogues. Learn with Us 6 also includes activities designed to actively encourage the children to formulate and express their opinion in English. Previously learnt language is actively recycled in oral activities and the children are encouraged to use this language as they set up and carry out various tasks. This wide range of motivating oral activities allows for extensive opportunity for repetition of core language within a clearly defined framework in order to help the children build their confidence in speaking. In addition, phonetic awareness and confidence is further developed in pronunciation activities designed to raise awareness of and practise production of key sounds and familiarity with the phonetic script. By the end of a unit, the wide range of graded speaking practice should support all learners to successfully present their end-of-unit project with confidence and to the best of their ability, and talk about their performance in the unit. Further optional pronunciation and communication games are detailed in the Ideas bank on pages 181–187 of this Teacher’s Pack.

Reading and writing Learn with Us takes a systematic approach to both reading and writing throughout the course. In Level 6 the children are introduced to reading the written form as they hear and say new words or structures. Once the children are familiar

with reading and saying new core language, they move on to writing it. On the CPT, new language is always presented alongside images, so that meaning is clarified first. The option to turn off text on the CPT allows the children to focus on the oral and aural before they focus on the written form. The ‘text off’ and ‘text on’ option, available for many of the CPT materials, allows the teacher to choose the most suitable version according to the point at which the material is being used and the progress the children have made. The Class Book provides plenty of general reading skills practice from which the children gain exposure to a variety of different text types; in the Lesson 2 Grammar lesson, in the culture and cross-curricular lessons, the unit stories and Daisy’s projects. The three end-of-term review stories in the Class Book bring together the language that the children have learnt over two units in a fun, comic book-style story. The printed flashcards in the Classroom Resource Pack can be used for optional review or further practice at any point during a unit. After exposure to new language in the Class Book, the children move on to more independent reading and writing in the Activity Book with Online Practice. The approach to reading and writing in the Activity Book is carefully staged to move from word level to sentence level, and on to short paragraphs. As a unit develops, the amount of guidance and scaffolding for writing tasks is graded to encourage learner independence, for example, moving from using words from a selection provided, or copying and completing phrases, to freer and more personalized writing production in Lesson 9. The project preparation and writing tasks in Lesson 9 are staged carefully to support all learners, challenging the more confident to stretch themselves, while supporting the less confident to a successful writing outcome. The project is the culmination of all the language learning and skills practice the children have had during the unit. The mix of listening and reading comprehension, and writing activities include tasks and tips to help the children plan and generate ideas, order and structure their writing, and successfully tie their ideas together raising awareness of the cohesion of texts. Once the children have completed these stages, they are ready to produce their own personalized written text at paragraph level, based on the model, with the ultimate aim of presenting their work in project form to an audience. The writing tasks include several motivating text types (instructions to draw an avatar, a holiday advert, a magazine advice column, a postcard, a diary entry). The performance outcome is also a motivating factor in helping the children write more independently whilst bringing together all that they have learnt over the course of the unit. Learner training is an important part of developing writing skills and the check and revise activity in Lesson 9 encourages the children to review each other’s work in order to develop writing skills such as spelling, punctuation, grammar and organizing work. Working with a friend to do this gives each child the opportunity to share their language skills, opinions and receive peer feedback.

Stories

The stories are central to each unit in Learn with Us 6. They depart from the real-life context and narrative as presented by Daisy and instead immerse the children in a fun and entertaining story that, while still linked to the theme of the unit, is also a completely new and exciting adventure, with a different storyline and set of new characters in each unit. A rich variety of different story genres are explored: from traditional fables and fairy tales to true life stories and adventure. All the stories have been specially chosen to appeal to the children’s imagination and diverse interests. The unit stories in Lesson 5 play an important role with regard to language development, as they not only present the second vocabulary set and target grammar in context, but they also revise previously learnt language (both core and incidental). Hearing this recycled language in a rich story narrative provides the children with an important opportunity to practise recognizing larger language outputs, i.e. the lexical ‘chunks’ that form the building blocks of English that they will encounter time and time again. The stories also provide the opportunity to develop listening skills (via the CPT or the Class Audio CDs) and reading skills. All story text is provided on the page, allowing the children to follow while they listen and thereby boosting their confidence and ability to recognize known words. The children’s first experience of the unit stories is via the CPT, where they can enjoy a beautiful, fully animated version of the story, maximizing the story’s motivational potential as well its function as a learning tool. Each story is first chosen for us by our central character, Daisy, smoothly embedding the imaginary in the real-world context so central to Learn with Us, while also helping the children to transition into and build excitement about the new content.

20

Learning with Learn with Us

Following the CPT presentation materials, the children are invited to open their Class Books for a re-telling of the story, this time in closer view, with full-colour story frames and accompanying audio. A variety of activities in the Class Book and Activity Book with Online Practice support consolidation of new vocabulary and core concepts. The children also further develop learner independence by being encouraged to evaluate the story and say what they think about it. The children, as with previous levels, have the opportunity to act out the story to recycle the language of the unit in a fun and memorable way, while allowing learners of all levels to join in with the performance. Revision stories are also available in the form of a running cartoon in the Review units and are also available as a scrollthrough storybook on the CPT.

Values

All about values

There is a strong emphasis in Learn with Us on values and developing the whole child. In Learn with Us 6, the values focus is presented in Lesson 5 through the story, with a focused ‘All about values’ feature clearly linked to the content of the story. The children are encouraged to discuss and relate the value to their own lives, raising awareness of the children’s own social growth as well as promoting self-esteem, positive attitudes, and tolerance and respect towards others. In the Activity Book follow-up task in Lesson 5, the children consolidate the value by doing a personalization task which helps internalize the value and make it more relevant to their real-life experience.

Songs Songs form a natural part of childhood and are therefore something immediately familiar to primary-aged children. They are also an invaluable way of practising and assimilating new language, as they naturally include repetition, provide clear models for correct pronunciation and greatly aid memory through their use of rhythm. The children will naturally participate, meaning they will be active and having fun while at the same time gaining valuable exposure to the language, increasing the likelihood of retention. For this reason, songs are an integral part of Learn with Us, with the CPT providing an extra audio-visual dimension through an animated song for the Lesson 7 songs. Each unit of Learn with Us 6 contains one song, presented by Daisy in her vlog. They review and consolidate language presented in previous lessons in the unit. The songs cover a variety of musical genres specifically designed to encompass the diverse range of musical styles children enjoy in the real world. The song is supported with an animation available on the CPT. Karaoke version of the songs are available on the Class Audio.

Culture Authentic British culture has been brought to the forefront in Learn with Us and is regarded as an essential part of language learning. From the very beginning of each unit, the content is grounded in the real world, immersing and inviting the children to participate in the life of a British child. In Learn with Us 6, the wider English-speaking world is also integrated into the Culture lessons. This approach to structuring language learning around day-to-day situations naturally inspires the children to compare the character’s world with their own. The details and conventions of British everyday culture are brought to life in supporting video clips at the start of each unit, helping to make British culture relevant and interesting to the children’s own lives. The mix of documentary and drama footage which make up the unit culture films provide a motivating insight into British culture, and the follow up pages in the Class Book and Activity Book all provide interest and the opportunity for cross-cultural comparison.

The children are encouraged to understand and reflect on the differences and similarities between their own and other cultures in order to develop Competences for 21st century learning, in particular Social and civic competences and Cultural awareness and expression. The culture lesson also helps the children take a step towards integration into the culture of the language they are learning by giving them useful expressions, in the form of common everyday language, in the Language in action! activity. A simple, high frequency social exchange is modelled by the children in the video clip, so that leaners can listen and repeat it easily. These exchanges have also been chosen taking into consideration the language syllabi of the GESE Trinity and Cambridge English: Young Learners external exams, in which social English plays a key role.

Evaluation Evaluation in Primary should be an integral part of the teaching and learning process, and, above all, formative. Evaluation material is therefore provided as part of the Learn with Us 6 course. The evaluation programme is carefully designed to support continuous and systematic evaluation of the children using a variety of tools. The Learn with Us 6 tests can be found in the Teacher’s Resource Material in the Teacher’s Resource Centre. They cover all the target language from the level and are divided into seven units (including Unit E) and three term tests. Importantly, the term tests are cumulative, with the language from Units 1 and 2 tested in the Term 1 test, Units 1–4 in the Term 2 test, and Units 1–6 in the Term 3 test. In this way, long-term retention of the language the children have encountered throughout the duration of the course can be tested, aiming towards longer-term learning. Moreover, the activity types in the term tests have all been carefully designed to echo the latest Cambridge Young Learners English test (Movers level). This can help the children start to familiarize themselves with the test in a nonintimidating way, enhancing their confidence with regard to sitting external exams. There are two levels of each of the unit and term tests: ‘Standard’ and ‘Challenge’, allowing you to select the level appropriate to the ability of the different children in the class. At both levels, all four skills are systematically tested across both the unit and term tests. To provide more flexibility in administration, speaking skills are assessed continuously and after every two units in the term tests. Grids are provided in the Evaluation section in the Teacher’s Resource Material to help with the continuous assessment of speaking using various unit activities and appropriate criteria for evaluation.

Clear and practical notes are provided to help with administering the speaking sections of the term tests. The tests are available as printable PDFs or editable documents on the Teacher’s Resource Centre, so you can choose to adapt the material to suit your class. Audio for the tests is available on the Teacher’s Resource Centre. Additional opportunities for evaluation in Learn with Us 6 come in the Lesson 3 Language in action! tasks, Lesson 7 speaking cards activity, Lesson 8 Conversation cards activity and Lesson 9 unit project, establishing a more holistic approach to the assessment of the children. The criteria for assessment of the projects is matched to learning standards for this level and Competences for 21st century learning. Opportunities for evaluation in the project lesson is identified in the Class Book with a key symbol. Guidance notes and grids for assessment of the projects can be found in the Teacher’s Resource Material and allow you to continuously assess the children’s progress and provide them and their parents / carers with feedback. Allowing your children to evaluate and reflect on the work that they have done is also an integral part of the learning process, and links directly to the Learning to learn competence. Studies have shown that children who are given opportunities to reflect on their work tend to be better engaged, have a more positive attitude towards learning, and therefore absorb much more. For this reason, Learn with Us 6 provides opportunities for reflection and selfevaluation, allowing the children to think about what they are learning, check what they know and record how they are progressing. Children are encouraged to evaluate their own projects, and the unit tests each contain an ‘All about my test’ feature, allowing for self-reflection on how well the child has performed at the end of the unit.

Cross-curricular focus One core lesson in each unit of Learn with Us covers content from other subjects across the curriculum, providing the opportunity to transfer useful, practical English language to a range of different areas of the curriculum, including Social and Natural Science and Music. These lessons are linked to the theme of the unit and complement the culture lesson that has come before. This allows vital links to be formed in the children’s languagelearning, as well as providing a meaningful context for the topic area via a ‘learning through meaning’ approach. The content ranges from keeping safe online to European landscapes, to patterns in art, ocean animals and music venues, and the concept is always consolidated with clear illustrations and activities in the Class Book, with further practice in the Activity Book with Online Practice. Within these lessons, the children will encounter new vocabulary specific to each topic, but the focus is on understanding the concept rather than retaining all the new language. Exciting visual and auditory presentation tools are used to introduce and exploit the concept in every unit. An engaging slideshow-style presentation with a Quick quiz introducing the subject matter is available on the CPT for easy-to-use, effective presentation of the cross-curricular concept and new crosscurricular words, and this is reinforced in the Class Book with tasks developing reading, listening and speaking skills.

Collaborative learning

Unit E The final and seventh unit of Learn with Us 6 is an optional extension and review unit which teaches the present perfect and offers pupils the opportunity to: • consolidate what they have learnt during the Learn with Us 6 course • reflect on their learning and their Learn with Us 6 experience • bridge their learning to secondary Language-learning is a pre-eminently collaborative activity, and it is for this reason that Learn with Us offers a wide range of activities and materials that inspire the children to experience English together by working collaboratively. Children are encouraged to work together in a variety of communicative speaking activities, grammar practice activities and project activities, helping to develop the children’s social and civic competence.

22

Learning with Learn with Us

Think Learn with Us encourages the development of thinking and communication skills through engaging collaborative activities which promote truly meaningful communication. The Think icon in the Class Book and Activity Book denotes activities which encourage children to formulate and express their own opinion. The language they need to do this is clearly modelled and they are encouraged to share their opinions with others. They are encouraged to respect each other’s opinions, and are reminded of the need to take turns in a conversation and appreciate that there is more than one perspective on most things. As this features regularly, they will gain in confidence as the year progresses. Likewise, the projects that appear in each unit are an example of how collaborative work not only facilitates appreciation of each other’s ideas but also develops personal initiative. In these tasks, the children are asked to work in pairs to check and revise their project. This collaboration allows children to learn from and instruct each other on how to improve their work.

Parental involvement

English at home The support and involvement of parents and family members is a key motivating factor for children across all subjects. The children will enjoy sharing what they have learnt with their parents or carers, and for this reason, Learn with Us uses a variety of approaches to help establish a vital home – school link for the children. The ‘English at home’ icon appears in several places throughout the Class Book and Activity Book, clearly signposting opportunities for children to share their learning with their parents or carers. Establishing clear and transparent communication with parents is also essential in developing a cooperative relationship between home and school. It’s important to keep parents informed about what their children are learning.

Special Educational Needs in the ELT classroom What is SEN? Special Educational Needs (SEN) is the term we use to refer to the requirements of a child who has a difficulty or disability which makes learning harder for them than for other children their age. Note that gifted and talented children are also considered to have special needs as they require specialized, more challenging materials. Strengths, not just weaknesses Children make progress at different rates and vary widely in how they learn most effectively. Although children with special needs may have difficulties in some areas, there will also be areas of strength. Recognizing and utilizing these strengths is important to the children’s academic development as well as their self-esteem. Your daily contact with these children will help you understand what works best for each individual and choose the most appropriate techniques. You can do it! You might be worried about trying to include children with SEN in your class. It can feel like it requires specialist knowledge and extra work for you, the teacher. This does not have to be the case. As a teacher you are used to dealing with different personalities and abilities in your class – you are probably always adapting to widely differing needs from the children each day. Children with SEN are simply part of this variety and challenge. In addition, the teaching techniques which help to support children with SEN are good, practical techniques which will benefit all children. Top tips for creating an inclusive classroom You do not need to be an expert on SEN to teach children with SEN. You do need to want to work with these children and to be prepared to learn from them. Tip 1: Be a role model Children will take their lead from their teacher. It is important to show that you respect and celebrate differences between people. For example, if you notice some children do not want to work with a child, make sure you talk to those children privately about their behaviour and give praise and rewards to the children who are working well in teams. Tip 2: See the person not the label It is very important to get to know each child individually and to not label them according to their SEN. If you have children who wear glasses in your classes, you do not assume that they have all got the same personality. In the same way, you should not assume every child with SEN is the same. Find out their interests and their strengths. Remember also that the range of SEN is wide so take time to find out the level of a child’s difficulty. Do not assume, for example, that a visually impaired person cannot see anything – they may have some sight.

Tip 3: Avoid judgements of behaviour Do not label a child as lazy or not trying. Children with SEN are often trying hard and get criticized unfairly by teachers. They might seem to be daydreaming in class but their brains might be overloaded with information which they cannot process and they need a short brain break. These children also need positive feedback on behaviour, so make sure that you notice when they are behaving. Many children with SEN and behavioural difficulties only get noticed negatively by the teacher. Tip 4: Celebrate difference and diversity The classroom and the world would be a boring place if everyone was the same. You can use the differences between children to learn from and about each other. Tip 5: Teach in a multi-sensory way Children all learn in different ways. Some like to see information, some like to hear it and some like to get up, do and touch things. Children with SEN particularly need practice in all the senses because they find it difficult to learn in traditional ways. Use a multi-sensory approach to present and practise information in your lessons. Tip 6: Plan ways to adapt your lesson plan You will sometimes need to adapt your lesson plans. This is called ‘differentiation’. Differentiation means planning and teaching to take account of all children in the class, whatever their level. The children can make progress in their learning wherever they start from. All children should achieve the same main aim, but they may do this in different ways. Tip 7: Work on classroom management Clear, consistent classroom management is very important for children with SEN. They often have problems understanding and following rules and instructions, so it is important to think about the best way to do this. It is a good idea, for example, to give careful thought to your seating plan. Tip 8: Work cooperatively with adults and children Teamwork is the best approach to teaching children with SEN. It is particularly important to work with parents / carers, as they know their child best and will often have helpful strategies to suggest. Other people who can help you include school psychologists, counsellors, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, SEN organizations and charities. Try to find out what’s available in your local area and keep a list of useful contacts. Tip 9: Work with children’s strengths Try to find out what your child’s strengths and interests are and include these in your teaching. Children who have problems reading can sometimes be good at drawing and acting instead. Children who find it hard to sit still might be very good at organizing teams and roleplay. Children who are struggling academically might be very kind and helpful.

Dyslexia: an example of SEN Dyslexia affects approximately 10% of the population, so each classroom may have two or three children with this learning difficulty. Dyslexia is a neurological condition that causes the brain to process and interpret information differently, which makes language learning challenging. It is not a sign of low intelligence or laziness, or the result of impaired hearing or vision.

What problems do dyslexic children have? Dyslexia can manifest itself in a variety of ways, through linguistic problems such as: • slow reading speed • difficulties with word recognition and spelling • a smaller range of vocabulary in the mother tongue Dyslexia is also apparent in non-linguistic problems, such as: • a more limited memory span • difficulties with handwriting and motor skills • difficulties with time management and organization of work • slowness in automating new skills These difficulties will vary in their severity or seriousness in different individuals, and some people will experience some, but not all, of these problems. Children with dyslexia can become competent and skilled second-language users, especially when a supportive school with a warm and positive classroom environment fosters their confidence. Even small steps, such as ensuring that a child is sitting comfortably at their desk with a wellpositioned writing surface, can have a positive impact.

English: some areas of difficulty • Children with dyslexia may struggle with the spelling of words in English since the spelling rules and conventions can appear unpredictable; specific sounds are spelt in many different ways, and certain letters can be pronounced differently. • Children with dyslexia may find it more difficult to learn abstract words than concrete nouns, and may find it easier to learn nouns than verbs and adjectives. They may find it hard to distinguish between words with similar sounds or that are close in meaning. • Speaking and listening skills seem to be affected less than the literacy-based skills of reading and writing. • Questions which require open-ended answers and pronunciation activities may be difficult for children with dyslexia or other special educational needs. • Children with dyslexia may struggle with the organization of their work and their classroom equipment, and this may impact on their learning.

Simple tips for helping a dyslexic child • Children with dyslexia learn better if vocabulary is taught in context, or anchored to an image. The anchoring of language in the real-world context in Learn with Us will help with this. • Children with dyslexia often engage well with electronic or interactive devices, so the CPT games will help them with learning and reviewing vocabulary at their own pace. • Multi-sensory and multi-channel formats, such as the animations, games and videos on the CPT and reading with audio in the Class Book, are well suited to children with dyslexia. • Give children short instructions, perhaps one step at a time. Set realistic targets, so they gain a sense of accomplishment. • Children with dyslexia do not need an entirely different set of materials from the rest of the class. Focus their attention on particular sections instead, or select from the Activity Book, or from the mixed-ability worksheets in the Teacher’s Resource Material. • Children with dyslexia may benefit from a more structured approach to learning, with controlled oral practice, plenty of examples, and opportunities to plan their work. The structured approach to lessons in Learn with Us and the models and examples on the CPT videos and the Class Audio, for example, will support dyslexic children’s communication skills. • Allow children who need longer to process information to do what they can in class, and encourage them to finish at home if possible. • Children with learning difficulties tend to respond well to extensive repetition and practice, and explicit explanation. You may find that doing language drills in class, focusing on a small set of core vocabulary or one grammatical feature at a time, will be helpful. Remember that similarsounding words or words with a similar meaning may cause confusion, so present them separately. • Encourage children to create mind maps or visual representations of vocabulary in vocabulary notebooks, so that they can review new language regularly.

Mixed-ability and multiple intelligences No two children in any class are the same. Children learn at different speeds and have different styles of learning. In every class, there will be a variety of interests, likes and dislikes. In addition, some children may have different cultural backgrounds from the rest of the group. Whatever the extent of the diversity within a class, it is important to help all the children feel part of the group during the English lesson. For this reason, Learn with Us offers strategies and materials to help teachers adapt their lessons to meet the needs of individual children.

Mixed-ability and Learn with Us Naturally, in classes where there is a wide range of abilities, there will be times when children’s needs will be different. Some children will require extra support for even the basics and others will require reinforcement of what they have learnt, while the most able will benefit from extension and further practice. In a mixed-ability class, it is very important that everyone can take part in activities, whatever their ability, which can present a challenge for the teacher. This is why Learn with Us is carefully designed to offer graded and structured activities to support all children’s language learning. Learn with Us caters for mixed-ability children in a number of different ways: The CPT, with its wealth of visual support, allows children to benefit from the many non-linguistic aspects of the video presentations. Practically, it also provides one clear focus in the classroom, allowing the class to work together but at a different pace. The receptive nature of many of the CPT games at this level mean that they allow even children with the lowest level of English to participate without feeling under pressure, because everyone joins in. Systematic revision of all core language has been carefully built into the course, with continual revision opportunities provided within each unit, as well as opportunities for the recycling of language from previous units. For example, the Culture and Cross-curricular lessons regularly reinforce previously presented vocabulary and structures in a new context, and the songs and chants which punctuate each unit offer the chance for fun and meaningful revision of the unit vocabulary. • In addition to the continual recycling within the main units, an end-of-term review is provided through the dedicated Review units. These lessons draw together all the core vocabulary and target grammar from two units in a new setting, with a practical and tangible outcome in the form of the project. • The recycling and revision of language from previous years is also given great importance throughout Learn with Us. For example, in Learn with Us 6, the reading and speaking activities and Daisy’s question in Lesson 1 of every core unit revise vocabulary and grammar from previous levels and units, making important links in the children’s language-learning journey. • The extension vocabulary activity provided in Lesson 1 of each main unit provides an opportunity for more able children to expand on what they have learnt.

• The high frequency of collaborative tasks throughout the Class Book and Activity Book with Online Practice encourages cooperation amongst children: if you put a stronger child with a less able child, he / she can support this child. The child who needs more support also feels less under pressure in this way. Similarly in group games and activities, every child can feel supported by the group and can participate as much as he / she is able. • In Learn with Us, many activities in the units and others in the Ideas bank of the Teacher’s Pack encourage communication and co-operation, which in turn involve everyone in the group. The teaching notes include many activities to help you create a relaxed atmosphere so children of different abilities can integrate more easily. • The Activity Book with Online Practice provides practice of the language introduced in the Class Book. Moreover, it contains slightly higher-level reading and writing tasks than those presented in the Class Book. There is also a special Extra feature at the bottom of the Activity Book pages, which suggests a further activity to allow for extension of the lesson content. • The Teacher’s Resource Material offers mixed-ability worksheets at extension and reinforcement level, which can be used when required with the children who need them. The reinforcement activities can be used to consolidate learning, while the extension activities allow more able children to expand on what they have learnt. Children should be grouped together with others of a similar ability to work on worksheets that suit their level. • Also in the Teacher’s Resource Material are two levels of each of the unit and term tests: ‘Standard’, which matches the reading and writing development of the Class Book, and ‘Challenge’, which follows the approach in the Activity Book and tests more reading and writing. This allows all children to participate in testing to the best of their ability.

Multiple intelligences and Learn with Us The theory of multiple intelligences, as first developed by American psychologist Howard Gardner, views intelligence as being multi-dimensional. Instead of thinking of intelligence as something connected to cognitive or academic skills that you have more or less of, Gardner believes that it is more useful to think of humans as having a range of eight different ‘intelligences’, and that we all have these intelligences in different strengths and combinations.

These eight intelligences are: • Verbal-linguistic: Being good with words and language, reading and writing • Logical-mathematical: Being good with numbers, Maths, logical processes, patterns, relationships between things and abstract concepts • Visual-spatial: Being good with pictures, diagrams, maps and visual representations • Musical-rhythmic: Being good with music, noticing sounds and recognizing tunes • Bodily-kinaesthetic: Being good with physical skills, sports, activities and tangible objects, dance, mime and acting • Interpersonal: Being good with other people; being good at communication and social skills • Intrapersonal: Being reflective and insightful about your own psychology and internal life; being intuitive and self-confident • Naturalistic: Being good at recognizing and understanding aspects of the natural world around us, e.g. animals, birds, plants In the context of the ELT primary classroom, this clearly acknowledges that every child has different kinds of mental abilities, and responds in their own way to different stimuli. As teachers, we know that children each have their own natural talents and multiple ways of learning. For example, some children may respond well to artistic or musical activities, such as painting or singing, while others may be more engaged when movement or logic are involved, such as during dancing activities or number games. It follows, then, that in order to keep our children engaged and involved during language learning, we need to include a variety of tasks that activate different intelligences. Although we cannot teach directly to each individual child in our classes all the time, we can provide opportunities for diversity. When we allow for this diverse range of language activities that match our children’s intelligence strengths, we multiply the opportunities for a ‘hook’ through which English can be acquired. Likewise, it is clear that learning a foreign language at an early age can positively help to develop and stimulate all of a child’s intelligences. In the ELT primary classroom, all eight of Gardner’s intelligences can be quite clearly activated in a number of ways through the language-learning process, allowing our children to build on their natural talents, while also encouraging the development of their other abilities. Simply put, all intelligences can be learnt, and that is why we must help our children to develop all their intelligences through creating an attractive, encouraging and motivating atmosphere in the ELT primary classroom. This is why Learn with Us contains activities, tools and different types of input carefully designed to serve all children by reaching out to their multiple ways of learning.

Each lesson in Learn with Us 6 has been deliberately set out to appeal to a wider range of intelligences, offering a variety of activities which cater at different times for children with different learning styles or intelligences. For example, a typical lesson may start with a warm-up matching game (verbal-linguistic and bodily-kinaesthetic), followed by an introductory video on the digital CPT (visualspatial), followed by singing a song (musical-rhythmic) and finally a pairwork speaking activity (interpersonal and verbal-linguistic). Follow-up tasks are provided in the Activity Book with Online Practice and in worksheets in the Teacher’s Resource Material, allowing children to reflect on their learning (intrapersonal) in a variety of ways. In this way, the inherent diversity of the classroom is purposefully catered for in each lesson. Learn with Us taps into children’s natural talents, thus allowing you to provide motivating educational experiences which help develop the confidence and language skills your children need to communicate both with their classmates and with the English-speaking world.

Mixed-ability extra ideas The following is a list of optional extra activities that can be used in each lesson of every core unit to cater for mixedability children. Lesson 1  Choose one of the vocabulary flashcards to be the ‘red hot’ card for the lesson. Explain to the children that when you hold up the card during the class at any point, they should stop what they are doing, look at you and say the vocabulary item. When you want to get the class’ attention during the class hold up the card until all children have stopped and are repeating the word. Lesson 2  Divide the class into two groups. Divide the unit flashcards equally between the two groups. Group A holds up a flashcard for Group B to make a correct sentence referring to the All about grammar box. Leave it completely open what type of sentence they make or give instructions directing the sentence you want them to form. If their sentence is correct they get to take the card. Then swap roles. Alternatively, do this in pairs using the Class Book page photos. Lesson 3  After listening to the message between Daisy and her friend, divide the class into two groups. Group A read Daisy’s lines and Group B read her friend’s lines. Ask pairs or small mixed-ability groups within Groups A and B to find examples of the target language from Activity 3 in the message. See if together the two groups can find all the main examples in the message. Lesson 4  Put the class into small mixed-ability groups. Ask one child from each group to come to the front of the class and show them one of the new cross-curricular words. They return to their group and draw a picture representing that word. Give them a time limit. The rest of the group guess which word it is. Repeat with another child and the other words.

Lesson 5  Put the children into small groups to retell the story and share their opinions. Ask the group to think about the story and summarize it into 4 or 5 key points. Children can illustrate each part or create a mime. Have them present their summary to the class, miming each point or holding up their pictures as they retell the story. Lesson 6  Divide the class into small mixed-ability groups and ask them to think of and write as many examples as they can of one of the items in the All about grammar box on a large piece of paper. Display the pieces of paper around the room and allow groups to walk around and add to them. Use this to see what errors the class are making and review these areas with them later. Lesson 7  To help children familiarize themselves with the pronunciation, write the two sounds on separate pieces of paper and place them on opposite sides of the room. Pronounce a sound and ask the class to walk or point to the correct side of the room. Review and mix in sounds from previous units and have three or four sounds placed around the room. Once the children are familiar with the sound and words that contain it, say a word with the sound and ask them to walk /point to the correct side of the room. To have some fun with pronunciation, ask the class to say the rhyme in different ways – first slowly and then quickly, quietly and then loudly (and vice versa), happily and in a sad way, etc. Lesson 8  Go through the questions in activities 1 and 2 before the children listen to the dialogue and check comprehension together as a class. Put the class into small mixed-ability groups to read the questions again and predict the answers. Invite them to be as creative or as inventive as they like and to give reasons for their answers. Feed back some answers from the class. Lesson 9  When the children check each other’s work, encourage mixed-ability pairs or different pairs each time so that they bring out each other’s strengths and support each other, but do consider how well they work together and get along outside the classroom. They need to feel comfortable working together to make the most of their English and have fun.

Lesson 8 Language review & Communication

Teaching tip

Objectives

Functional language practice is important for improving your children’s fluency. Once the children are confident doing the Activity 5 role-play, encourage them to do it without reading from the books. It isn’t important for them to remember every word, and it isn’t important if they replace some words with other words they know that fit with the context. Speaking freely will prepare them for the real world.

Review the unit language and develop reading, writing, listening and speaking skills through the following: Listen to and understand a dialogue. Use pictures to identify and say the unit language. Read and complete sentences using the unit vocabulary and grammar.

CPT

Class Book Activity 5 provides a model for the Conversation cards at the back of the Class Book which offer controlled and staged practice of functional language linked to the unit topic.

In Activities 1 and 2, listening and reading skills are integrated in an activity reviewing the unit vocabulary and grammar structures. In Activity 3, the speaking activity further consolidates and reviews the language of the unit.

The aims of the speaking activity are presented clearly for the class.

Teaching tip Activity Book

Activities 1, 2 and 3 prepare children to create a unit project and focus on reading and writing skills. By looking at how Daisy has prepared and planned for her project, children have a clear model and structure to follow, from thinking about ideas to planning and gathering information and structuring their writing. The project in each unit encourages the children to work autonomously with some aspects requiring work in a group.

Clear tips highlight key areas to check regarding organization, grammar and spelling.

Peer support and review, found in Activity 5, is a valuable skill and stage of each project. It aids mixed-ability classes and enables the children to learn from each other.

The research questions in Activity 3 help children to direct their research in order to include useful and interesting information. In Level 6 children are asked from Unit 3 onwards to create the research questions themselves. By writing the questions and then answering them, children develop autonomy and planning skills.

47

The Lesson 9 project is an opportunity for all children to showcase what they know. Encourage more confident children to do independent research for their project. All children will benefit from the structured thinking and planning tasks. You could also consider recording the projects to show parents and give the children an even greater sense of achievement, developing the digital competence at the same time.

The children are encouraged to present their project to the whole class.

Time-saving tips Routines Even if you have less time for English, in 3rd cycle it is still important to have a set routine for your lessons, and to establish this routine with your class from the start. A wellconducted routine helps you organize your lessons and makes the children aware of what you want them to do and how you expect them to behave. In Learn with Us 6, the lessons in each unit are designed to follow a familiar structure and set of routines. It is recommended, therefore, that any time-saving amends made to a lesson structure in Unit 1 are also carried through to the lessons in the units that follow. The starting and ending the lesson routines for Learn with Us 6 have also been designed to be flexible, and so timesaver suggestions have been provided in this reduced lesson planner for how these can be shortened when needed.

To save time, you can omit the song animation and just sing the song using the Class Audio and Class Book pages (or vice versa). As the pronunciation lesson in each unit focuses on key sounds which relate to the vocabulary of the unit, to save time, you can use this audio at the beginning of the unit to introduce the target sounds, and then focus on these sounds as and when they appear throughout the unit. You can then choose to omit all of the activities that follow or use them to review the sounds later in the unit.

To save time, you can omit the video and just use the Class Book pages. You could save this activity for a rainy day or for another lesson when you have more time. The children can play the grammar and vocabulary review game on the course website. Work through the project in sections if you don’t have much time. Do activities 1, 2 and 3 in class together and go through the tips in Activity 4. Children can write their text for homework. Allocate a specific amount of time in class for children to check their work. They can revise it and prepare their presentation as homework.

5 Who likes riding a bike? Daisy likes riding a bike. 6 Who likes wearing colourful clothes? Daisy’s dad likes wearing colourful clothes. 7 Who likes cooking? Daisy’s mum likes cooking. TEACHING TIP:

Pair children up considering their ability and friendship groups. It is good to mix more confident and less confident children at times, and more confident with more confident children at times. Also consider who works well with whom in the class. There is no right or wrong way. It takes time to establish the best pairings and groups.

3 Beat the clock. How many words can you say in 3 minutes?

• Ask the class to read the topic headings and think of

•

words which are connected to each topic. Set a timer for three minutes on the IWB, a smart phone or on the class clock. Call out a topic and ask the class to call out words they know connected to that topic. Move onto the next topic when they have exhausted all ideas. The class try to call out as many words as they can for all topics within three minutes.

OPTION:   In a more confident class, put children into pairs or small groups of 3–4 children to write as many words for each topic as they can in 3 minutes.

4 Ask and answer.

• Read the speech bubbles as a class. Ask which information

•

•

each child gives (name, age, physical description, an adjective to describe themselves and what they like doing). Write the five points on the board. Put children into pairs to talk about themselves and listen to their partner describe themselves. Change pairs and repeat. Do so until the class have talked to everyone or as many people as they can in 3–5 minutes. Invite a few confident children to come to the front of the class and introduce themselves.

OPTION:   Play some music the in background to help children feel confident speaking. Walking around the room with music gives the illusion that they are not being looked at by the teacher. Music also makes people happy. COMPETENCES FOR 21ST CENTURY LEARNING:  

Linguistic competence Recycling language in a personalised speaking activity will help the children back into the English classroom while also consolidating learning from the previous year.

Star question (optional)

• Point to the Star question and read it aloud. Say This

is my friend (Daisy). She’s eleven. She’s got long, dark hair. She’s untidy. She likes riding her bike and scooting. Ask the question around the class encouraging the children to talk about a child in the class they met in the previous activity.

They tick their answer in their notebooks when they hear it. Ask the class what other food Daisy’s family are going to have for afternoon tea (cucumber sandwiches, scones with raspberry jam, hot chocolate, coffee, tea).

ANSWER

Daisy is making a chocolate cake with icing.

CULTURE NOTE:  Afternoon tea On special occasions, families in the UK sometimes get together for afternoon tea or a ‘cream tea’. It can be at home or in a restaurant and usually consists of a selection of small sandwiches, a variety of cakes and scones. People usually have a pot of tea to drink. Scones are small, circular, slightly sweetened baked bread / cakes. They can be made with raisins or can be savoury with cheese or herbs. With afternoon tea, they are cut in half and spread with cream and jam. Delicious! OPTION:   Use the flashcards to present the new vocabulary.

CULTURE NOTE:  Technology in the UK In the UK, children commonly use tablets for Maths programmes at school, to play games and watch films. Children usually get a mobile phone when they are eleven or twelve years old. They can message their friends using fun apps or let their parents know when they get home after school if their mum and dad are at work. Technology has changed the classroom and the way that children learn new information and do their homework, as they can create interactive presentations and have a world of information at their fingertips.

Daisy  We’ve got a computer club at our school. I love it because we make our own computer games. Computers in the past were very different from computers today. In the past they were very big. Let’s watch this video about computers. Culture film: In the past there weren’t any computers at school or at home. There weren’t any laptops … digital cameras … or memory sticks. Can you imagine life without these things? This is the National Museum of Computing. You can find out about the history of computing. Computers were very, very big in the past! Look at this computer. It’s called Colossus. It’s about 75 years old. Imagine using this computer to do your homework! Some computers from the past are smaller than Colossus, but they’re still much bigger than a laptop or a tablet. These computers are about 25 years old. They still work, but they are very different to computers today. You can’t use the internet, or send an email with these computers … but you can play computer games! They’re very simple games, but they’re still fun! Look! This is a special computer. It teaches people how to fly a plane. It’s a bit like a computer game. They’re using headphones. It looks fun! Today, computers are everywhere. We can play computer games and we can even make our own computer games. We use computers at school. We can use them to find out information or to do our homework. And we can use laptops or tablets in our bedrooms or living rooms or even out in the garden. What do you use computers for? ANSWER

The National Museum of Computers

CULTURE NOTE:  Computing inventions from the UK The world’s first computer, Colossus, was first used in 1944. The World Wide Web, was invented by Tim Berners Lee, a British computer scientist. He developed the idea for transferring information between a web browser and a server via the internet. After initial success in 1990, it was in household use by 1996. Tim Berners-Lee has received many awards and was knighted by Queen Elizabeth in 2004 for his work. Computers are so integral to daily life today that most children can now learn computer programming skills at school or in coding clubs.

CULTURE NOTE:  The countryside in the UK The countryside in the UK is a very important part of British culture. Only about 8% of the landscape is urban – that is, covered in houses, cities, towns, villages and roads. The rest is farmland and open countryside. The geography is also incredibly diverse, from dry and barren moors, to icy mountains, and rolling green hills. British people love spending time in the countryside; sightseeing, hiking along the extensive network of trails, barging along rivers and canals, mountain biking, surfing, sailing and skiing. There is a lot to see and do!

Daisy  I love exploring the countryside. It’s so much fun. There are so many different things to see and do. Let’s find out about some good places to explore. Culture film: There are great ways to explore the countryside. These children are exploring a forest. They’re looking for birds. Look! A bird’s nest! They are very quiet near the nest. They don’t want to frighten the bird or the chicks. They take photos of the birds they see. Treasure hunts are a fantastic outdoor activity, too. You can do a treasure hunt in a town or in the countryside. Look, these children are doing a treasure hunt in a town. They’ve got a clue. The clue says, find the bank next to the cake shop. What’s opposite the bank? There’s the bank.

© Copyright Oxford University Press

There’s a beautiful park opposite the bank. It’s less crowded than the street, but it’s also very big. Where’s the next clue? Look! There it is! It’s on the big tree. This clue says, find the river behind the big tree. Find the old, brown bridge over the river. So they have to find a historical bridge. Here’s a bridge but it’s more red than brown. They’re following the river to find the next bridge. It’s more relaxing here than in the town. Yes! They did it! There’s the old, brown bridge. I think they’ve found the last clue. It says … … Cross the bridge over the river. Turn left. Turn right. Then look in front of you. Ah! It’s the treasure. A dinosaur! Geocaching is a like a modern treasure hunt. You look at a website to find directions and a map. You follow the directions to find the treasure. You can use a GPS like these children … or you can use a smart phone. The treasure – ‘the cache’ – is in a box. Ooh look, a spotty plastic ring. You have to write a message in the book and put it back in the box. But you have to put something else in the box, too … And then put it back so other people can find it. You can go geocaching all over the world. Try it! ANSWERS

a forest, a town, a bank, a cake shop, a park, a tree, two bridges, a river

CULTURE NOTE:  Outdoor activities the UK There are hundreds of exciting and interesting places to visit across the UK, including national parks and stately homes. There are medieval castles, Norman churches, pagan rock formations, such as Stonehenge, and Gothic cathedrals. Historical villages dot the countryside from the highlands of Scotland to the coastal areas of the south in Cornwall and Wales. These sites are protected and looked after by the government and volunteers. Many are free to visit and they have lots of fun activities to do at weekends or in the holidays. You can go on treasure hunts, fact finding quests and bird watching or bug collecting. You can see activities like falconry and jousting tournaments. You can do hut and raft building or go canoeing or rowing on the rivers.

Plan 1 Plan your play. Decide who’s going to do each part. Some pupils can be the chorus. Some pupils can be volunteers who don’t speak.

• Put children into groups of 12–15 and seat them •

•

together so they can communicate. Consider abilities and friendship groups when deciding on the groups. Ask the groups to look at the cast list and work together to decide which role each child will play. A confident child with good communication skills should be the director. Children write their names in the cast list. Ask the groups to give themselves a name, and plan the props and the sound effects they will need for each part of their play. They write their ideas in the plan. Monitor and help throughout.

2 Talk about these things with your group. Make notes. SUGGESTED ANSWERS

• The children can use the Story playscript worksheet to say / practice their lines.

COMPETENCES FOR 21ST CENTURY LEARNING:   Cultural awareness and expression Acting out the story allows children to express themselves artistically. The vocabulary and grammar of the previous units is activated more easily in the context of the story, making it fun and memorable.

In a more confident class, make this a memory task. In pairs, one child looks at the scene for one minute. After one minute, that child closes their book. Their partner reads the statements for them to remember where the places were. They change roles or partners.

The steam engine was invented in Britain in the 19th century during the industrial revolution. There are still many steam trains running across the country, taking visitors on short pleasure trips. Trains today are faster and more modern, but the train stations they travel to are often very old and beautiful. The longest platform at a train station is 600 metres long and the longest railway tunnel in Britain is the Severn tunnel which runs between Wales and England. It’s 7 km long. The Eurostar train leaves London and in under two hours later you can be in Paris, France.

EXTENSION:

Ask children to look at the photos on pages 28–29 and say anything else they can name in English. COMPETENCES FOR 21ST CENTURY LEARNING:   Linguistic competence Recycling language from previous levels helps children consolidate their learning.

Transcript

Daisy  London is very crowded because it’s the capital city of the UK. People travel around the city using all kinds of different transport. Let’s watch some different ways to get around. Culture film: London buses are always red. Most London buses are doubledecker buses – that means they’ve got two floors. There are over 19,000 bus stops in London. This is a London taxi. They’re also called ‘black cabs’. These taxis are in front of Buckingham Palace. London taxi drivers need to learn all the roads in central London before they can drive a taxi. That takes about three years! This is the entrance to a tube station. Over four and a half million people use the tube in London every day! This is a tube map. There are 270 different tube stations. You need to buy your ticket before you get on the tube. You can buy tickets from the ticket office … or from a machine. You can’t go through the gate without a ticket. When you’re on the platform, you need to stand behind the yellow line. Here’s comes the tube. The tube system in London is the oldest in the world, and it’s one of the biggest. The tube is the fastest way to travel in London but it can be very crowded, so some people find walking or riding a bike more relaxing. You can also use boats to travel up and down the River Thames in London. What a great way to see the city!

CULTURE NOTE:  London transport The London Underground is the oldest underground train network in the world. It was first opened in 1863 and now serves 270 stations on eleven lines around the city and surrounding counties. The first escalators were installed in 1911 at Earl’s Court station. Remember, don’t stand on the left! You need to stand on the right unless so others can pass you on the left. There are around 40 disused stations known as ‘ghost stations’. Some, such as Aldwych station, have been used as a film location and visitors can book tours. Transport for London is trying to make the stations more accessible to wheelchair users, so a number of lifts and platforms are being installed.

Language in action!

• Refer the class to the Language in action! box and read through the questions and answers.

• When children are using the language confidently, put

them into pairs or small groups. They take turns to ask, answer and talk about the situations they wrote about in Activity 3. Refer them to the Language in action! box for support.

COMPETENCES FOR 21ST CENTURY LEARNING:   Social and civic competence Teaching children to use polite requests in another language not only helps them to interact successfully in a different culture and language, it also focusses them on the importance of politeness in their own language.

Let’s compare culture

• Discuss the culture question in English, and in the

Transcript

Many artists use patterns in their art. You can repeat shapes to make a pattern called a tessellation. The shapes fit together perfectly. The Ancient Romans made a diamond pattern using three different colours. The pattern looked like lots of cubes. These are tiles in the Alhambra Palace, in Granada. Can you see the stars and the hexagons? This is a symmetrical pattern by William Morris. What natural things can you see in the pattern? Paul Klee made a colourful pattern of squares. This is not a tessellation because the shapes don’t fit together perfectly. Quick quiz! Question 1  Who made mosaics with a diamond pattern? … The Ancient Romans. Question 2  What shapes can you see in this pattern? … Stars and hexagons. Question 3  What kind of pattern did William Morris often make? … A symmetrical pattern. Question 4  What artist makes simple patterns that aren’t tessellations? … Paul Klee.

about obligation. Read the sentences in Activity 1 again as a class. Ask, Is it important that Emily finds Oscar? (Yes) Is it an obligation? (Yes) Is it important that Emily remembers her lunch? (Yes) Is it an obligation? (Yes) Look at the All about grammar box as a class. Explain that we use must to talk about obligation and mustn’t to talk about negative obligation. Refer children to the Review box and explain that they already know how to make negative sentences. Ask the class to tell you some examples of negative sentences (It isn’t a bag. We aren’t singing. I haven’t got a pen. He didn’t listen.) Point out we form these negatives using not contracted as n’t. Point out to the class that the negative form of must is the same, mustn’t = must not. Point out that the form is the same with all pronouns and is always followed by a verb without to. Make some sentences as a class on the board. Put the children into pairs. Ask them to say as many sentences as they can in three minutes using the grammar box for support. Set a timer on the IWB, smart phone or class clock. When the time is up, ask the children how many sentences they said. Monitor, help and praise throughout. Feed back some of the sentences from the class.

example. Brainstorm a few ideas and write them on the board. Individually, ask the children to write notes about the rules there are at school. Give them a time limit. Put children into pairs to tell their partner the rules they thought of using the structure. Monitor, help and praise throughout.

Star question (optional)

• Ask the children to recall what their partner told them about school rules. They write sentences in their notebooks using We + must / mustn’t.

COMPETENCES FOR 21ST CENTURY LEARNING:

COMPETENCES FOR 21ST CENTURY LEARNING:   Cultural awareness and expression Using song to teach or learn new vocabulary builds confidence in children, particularly those who are shy, and even those who struggle with pronunciation. The natural rhythm of the music, group dynamic and more relaxed context allow these children to flourish. Encourage those children who feel self-conscious about singing to join in by giving them a physical response activity to do while singing.

• Point to the Star question and read it aloud. Say You

can go horse riding at the coast. Ask the question around the class encouraging the children to answer using any language they have learnt in previous levels.

CULTURE NOTE:  At the seaside in the UK Travelling to the coast and spending time at the coast is much loved in the UK, for holidays, weekend trips or simply for a day trip. The beaches can have sand or pebbles. If it’s sunny, people enjoy sunbathing on deck chairs, looking in rock pools for small sea animals, playing games or eating ice cream. Many seaside towns have got a pier which stretches out to the sea. Here you can walk, play arcade games or go to the funfair. People eat fish and chips, candy floss and doughnuts. On some beaches you can even ride donkeys or watch a puppet show. Some coastal areas are not so developed. These have more rugged beaches and cliffs where you can go hiking or dig for dinosaur fossils. If it rains, you can visit an aquarium in some bigger towns where you can see sharks and manta rays, or pick up crabs and lobsters. 110

Daisy  I visited Brighton recently. Brighton is a city by the sea. It’s on the south coast of England. Here’s a video about coastal towns and cities in the UK. Let’s watch. Culture film: This is the beach in Brighton. It’s a stony beach with a long pier. There aren’t many shells on the beach, but there are lots of stones. You can make patterns with stones on the beach – like this beautiful star. Not all beaches in the UK are stony. The beach in Bournemouth is sandy. And there are lots of colourful beach huts. There are aquariums in lots of seaside cities. Look at the colourful fish and turtles. The turtles look very serious! These are clown fish. They are orange, white and black with stripes. Blackpool is a coastal city in the north of England. It’s famous for its beautiful lights. It’s got a big funfair and a tall tower called the Blackpool Tower.

© Copyright Oxford University Press

There’s an exciting funfair on Brighton Pier, too. It’s open until late at night. This is Brighton Pavilion. It’s a royal palace in the city and it’s only a couple of minutes from the beach. Isn’t it beautiful! There’s also a theatre in Brighton, and you can go shopping in the city. There are lots of great shops and cafés. This is a sweet that you can buy in lots of coastal cities. It’s called rock because it’s very hard like a rock! Fish and chips are nice, too! There are lots of seagulls – they also like fish and chips! There’s so much to do at the beach!

Write prompts on the board to provide support: I like … It’s / It isn’t near my house. OPTION:

In a less confident class, do this as a whole class activity.

CULTURE NOTE:   Brighton Pavilion Brighton is a busy coastal city on the South coast of England. It is an hour by train from London and is a popular destination for Londoners and others across the country. There are many interesting buildings in Brighton but Brighton Pavilion is the most beautiful and interesting. It was a royal residence of George, The Prince Regent, and its construction was completed in 1815. The Prince Regent was a very grand character who liked parties and socialising with people. The building is interesting because its architecture is Indian influenced and was very popular at that time. It has large domes and minarets and used to be filled with very ornate furniture. Today you can visit the Pavilion to see the excessive life of George and you can even get married in it!

• Point to the text messages and tell the class that Daisy is

messaging her friend Roberto. Ask them where Roberto is from (Spain). Ask the children to look at the photos and say any words they know to describe them (a palace, a funfair, a pier, an aquarium, etc.). Play the audio for the children to listen and read. Answer the two questions.

• Ask children to think about the value the story focuses on

ALL ABOUT VALUES:   Explore the facts for yourself.

Remind the children of who was an explorer. Where did he go and what was he looking for? At the beginning of the story was he certain that dragon eggs existed? What did he think at the end? Why? How did Roy Chapman Andrews’ exploration change world knowledge? What do you think it contributed to science? Talk to the children in their own language about exploring facts for yourselves and why it’s important to think critically. COMPETENCES FOR 21ST CENTURY LEARNING:  

Mathematical competence and basic competences in science and technology Encouraging children to think critically is an important skill, particularly in the age of the internet. Focusing on this will help children to build on their knowledge and understanding of a range of subjects, form their own opinions and be able to distinguish fact from theory. They will be able to understand the difference between bias and subjectivity and fact and keep safe on the internet.

Doing a practical and creative task that involves making something will engage children who work better doing this type of activity and encourage them to participate. Those who enjoy acting and performing will enjoy taking on a more prominent acting role, while those who are less confident can be part of the chorus.

Perform the play and rate it! 1 Perform your play and sing your songs. Enjoy acting. It’s fun!

• Ask each group to perform their play and sing one of the

songs from Units 3 and 4. Encourage the children to speak as clearly as they can and to show their emotions with their voice and acting. Encourage them to sing loudly and clearly and think about their pronunciation. Above all, encourage them to enjoy their role in the performance. Ask the children who are watching to respect one another’s performance, listen and clap at the end.

2 Watch all the plays and give marks out of 10. Be quiet while you watch.

• Ask children to read points 1–5 in the table and check • •

understanding. Children tick the areas they enjoyed for each group. Ask the class to feed back to each group what they liked. Congratulate the class on performing so well and finishing a group project.

Ending the lesson (optional)

• Play a game of the children’s choice to review the

language from Units 3–4 (see Ideas bank pages 181–187).

Core: Past continuous questions and answers: What was I doing (at four o’clock)? He / She was / wasn’t reading a magazine. What were you doing (this afternoon)? We were / weren’t roller skating. Revised: Time phrases; Verb + noun collocations; Youth club activities

CULTURE NOTE: Youth clubs in the UK Many children in the UK go to youth clubs and other clubs after school and at the weekend. They allow children to do fun activities, learn new skills and meet new people in a safe environment. They are also places where young people can get information, support and advice. There is usually a centre run by staff and volunteers where young people can come on certain days and times of the week. There are many other clubs for young people in the UK: outdoor adventure clubs, such as scouts and girl guides, where children learn how to make fires, go camping and look for wild food. There are art clubs where children learn a variety of different techniques such as pottery, knitting and crochet.

Daisy  I love going to clubs and learning new things. They’re a great way to make new friends, too. Let’s find out about some interesting clubs and the things you can do there.  Culture film: Whatever you like doing, there’s a club for you. These children are at climbing club. It looks like fun. You can try abseiling at a climbing club, too. It’s great to try new things. These children are at a swimming club. Today they are practicing for a competition. They swim three times a week. They’re very hard-working, but there’s still time to make friends. Football clubs are very popular. At this club, the children play football together every Friday after school. Goal! And at other clubs you can explore nature. At this Ranger club today, the children made a shelter out of wood and leaves. Doesn’t it look great! At lunchtime, they made a fire and cooked potatoes. Scouts is another club where you can explore nature. You learn new skills and get a badge every time. When you go camping with the Scouts, you need to put up your own tent. This girl is checking all the ropes carefully. She’s trying to get a camping badge. Sleeping in a tent is very exciting! At scouts you can make fires and cook marshmallows. Yum, save some for me! ANSWERS

climbing, abseiling, swimming, playing football, making a shelter, making a fire, cooking, putting up a tent

CULTURE NOTE: Activity Clubs in the UK The biggest mixed youth organisation in the UK is the Scouts. Founded in 1910 by Robert Baden-Powell, today it teaches over 450,000 girls and boys fun adventure skills for life and helps children enjoy new adventures, experience the outdoors and take part in a variety of community and international activities. The Chief Scout is TV personality Bear Grylls, whose adventure shows have seen the popularity of the Scouts rise over recent years. It has branches around the world and children from across continents are able to meet up and share stories and experiences.

Remind the children of who judged someone because of what they looked like in the story. Why did they think women weren’t pirates? Why did they think women weren’t brave and strong? Was being a woman pirate different from being a man pirate? Talk to the children in their own language about not judging people by what they look like and the different ways in which we judge people superficially (by their gender, clothes, accent, skin colour, etc.) and why it’s important to find out about people to get to know them.

3 True or false? Correct the false sentences.

• The children read the statements and decide if they are true or false. They correct the false sentences in their notebooks. Ask the children to read the story again to check their answers.

ANSWERS

1 2 3 4 5 6

False: Mary Read wanted to become a pirate. True. False: Mary Read and Anne Bonny were strong. False: A big ship of soldiers arrived. False: The soldiers asked Mary and Anne questions. True. COMPETENCES FOR 21ST CENTURY LEARNING:  

Linguistic competence Asking children to answer and correct true or false sentences develops their skill in reading for specific information and their ability to think critically. This is not only a crucial life skill but a skill they will need to call upon to answer exam questions quickly and correctly.

CULTURE NOTE:  TV in the UK Television studios are one of the largest employers in the UK. It takes hundreds of people to make just one show. The studios make a large range of programmes that are not only watched by people in the UK, but are also exported around the world. Shows that are very popular in the UK are then are sold to other countries so they can make their own versions. ‘Britain’s got Talent’ and ‘The X Factor’ are two talent shows which have been sold and adapted for international audiences. The largest TV studios are in Manchester and in London. They produce news shows, children’s programmes, crime dramas, comedies, historical dramas and documentaries. Watching TV in English is a great way to help you improve your listening and speaking skills.

Daisy  I like clothes like these. But everyone has got their own style and likes different kinds of fashion. Clothes designers design clothes for lots of different occasions. Let’s see some of them. Culture film: Clothes designers design clothes for lots of different occasions.  And some clothes designers design clothes for extra special occasions like the Diwali festival. Diwali is an Indian festival that people celebrate every year. It’s the festival of light so it’s very colourful. Some women wear saris. These saris are flowery. Clothes designers designed the beautiful patterns in bright colours and lots of gold. My favourite is the yellow sari in the middle. People shop for special clothes for the festival. The clothes are often red, white, silver and gold. Men wear clothes with beautiful patterns, too. I love this silver one. I wonder … will that woman choose the red sari? Clothes designers design amazing costumes for the Notting Hill Carnival, too. This is a festival in London which celebrates Caribbean culture. For three days every August, the streets are full of people dancing. Look, these dancers are wearing beautiful colourful feathers. Sunday is the Children’s Day at the carnival. Thousands of children dance in the streets. Clothes designers work all year making the costumes. But what will they design for next year’s carnival? What do you think about these clothes? They were designed for these Morris dancers who dance this traditional English dance. They look a bit old-fashioned! Unit 6

But some fashion already looks like it’s from the future! What do you think you’ll wear in 2050? ANSWERS

Diwali, Notting Hill Carnival

CULTURE NOTE:  Fashion designers and culture in the UK Fashion design is a large part of the British economy. Design technology is taught in British Secondary schools across the country. Many famous British designers base their ideas and take inspiration from their own cultural history and experience. Vivien Westwood is a Scottish designer. Her clothes are very bold and covered in patterns. She often uses tartan, a fabric associated with Scotland, to make suits, dresses and trousers. Alexander McQueen was a young male designer who loved flowing silks and lace. He loved making beautiful dresses for women. Sarah Burton, a designer from his design house, made the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton’s wedding dress for her marriage to Prince William in 2011.

when we use will (for predictions). Elicit which sentence is affirmative and which is negative. Explain that today they will learn how to make affirmative and negative sentences using will + verb. Look at the All about grammar box as a class. Point out that won’t = will not. Point out the contractions in the affirmative and tell the class that in spoken English we usually use the contracted form of will. Point out how we use an apostrophe to indicate the missing letters. Refer children to the Review box. Ask the class to tell you some contractions they already know (I’m, you’re, he isn’t, we don’t, etc.). Remind the class that we usually use a contracted form in negative short answers and in affirmative and negative statements. Put the children into pairs. Ask them to say as many affirmative and negative sentences as they can in three minutes using the grammar box for support. Remind them to use the contractions. Set a timer. When the time is up, ask children to say how many sentences they said. Monitor, help and praise throughout. Feed back some of the sentences from the class.

COMPETENCES FOR 21ST CENTURY LEARNING:   Cultural awareness and expression Providing a range of tasks within the project is important to encourage all types of learner to participate. Doing a creative task based around social media will engage children and encourage them to participate. Those who enjoy acting and performing will enjoy taking on a more prominent acting role, while those who are less confident can be part of the chorus.

Perform the play and rate it! 1 Perform your play and sing your songs. Enjoy acting. It's fun!

• Ask each group to perform their play and sing one of the

songs from Units 5 and 6. Encourage the children to speak as clearly as they can and to show their emotions with their voice and acting. Encourage them to sing loudly and clearly and think about their pronunciation. Remind them that it is always important to do their best. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Ask the children who are watching to respect one another’s performance, listen and clap at the end.

CULTURE NOTE:  Britain and Europe Historically, the English language has been influenced by many people from all over Europe who have invaded or settled on its islands through the centuries. People from what is now Germany, the Netherlands, Scandinavia and France all played a part in forming and shaping the language. This is why the spelling of English words can be so confusing. Today, English has become the language of international communication. Millions of British people live, work and travel in Europe and millions of Europeans live and travel to the UK.

Transcript

Daisy  There are four major parts of the UK: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. You can travel to them by train and you can visit lots of different places. Let’s take a look at a few of them. Culture film: The UK has got four parts – England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. There are great landmarks in all of these places. Belfast is the capital city of Northern Ireland. Look at the beautiful countryside in Northern Ireland! This is the Giant’s Causeway. It starts in Northern Ireland and then goes under the sea all the way to Scotland. Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland. Scotland is in the north of the UK. There’s a castle on the hill. Nobody lives there now, but you can visit it. From the castle, you can see the whole city – wow! That’s the road bridge over the railway station. You can travel by train from Edinburgh to Fort William in the north of Scotland, or down to Brighton in the south of England. There’s an extinct volcano near Edinburgh called Arthur’s Seat. You can walk there from the city and climb to the top. It’s very beautiful. Edinburgh is near the sea. This is Hadrian’s Wall – the old Roman wall between Scotland and England. It’s nearly 2,000 years old. There was a Roman fort there called Vindolanda. Can you imagine Roman soldiers living here? It’s a long way from Rome! This is Warwick Castle. It’s a famous castle in England. Henry VIII lived here 500 years ago. Actors dress up to show tourists what people wore and did at Warwick castle in the past. How interesting! Cornwall is a region in the south-west of England. Lots of people go there on holiday in the summer.

There are great beaches in Cornwall. I’ve been to this beach on holiday with my family. It’s a great place to go surfing. Can you surf? Wales is full of beautiful forests, lakes, mountains and valleys. Mount Snowdon is the highest mountain in Wales. The views from the top are amazing. When the weather is good, you can see other parts of the UK – England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. ANSWER

The Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland, Edinburgh in Scotland, Arthur’s Seat in Scotland, Hadrian’s Wall, Warwick Castle in England, Cornwall in south west England.

CULTURE NOTE:  Travelling in the UK The four countries that make up the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) are all very different, but are connected by a long history. And nowhere on these islands is more than 120 km from the sea. You can travel around Great Britain by car, train, bus, plane and canal boat, depending on how much time you want to take! Canals have been in the UK since Roman times, but most were built during the industrial revolution so people could ship goods from city to city. The Manchester ship canal takes you all the way from the coast near Liverpool into the middle of the country. 34 km separates England from France and the rest of Europe. The underground tunnel connecting the two countries is the world’s longest at 38 km long.

There isn’t a traditional meal or food and drink, but people do enjoy party foods. The biggest party on New Year’s Eve is in London by the river Thames. Thousands of people watch a huge fireworks display over the river and the London Eye. The London Eye is a massive ferris wheel on the south side of the river. Some people even watch it from on the Eye itself! Millions of people in their homes across the country and around the world watch the fireworks. New Year’s Eve is a chance to say goodbye to the last year, think of friends and family who live away from home and make a New Year’s resolution. This is something we want to do better next year, like do more exercise. It is a lovely time to celebrate.

CULTURE NOTE:  Easter in the UK Thousands of years ago Britain had many pagan traditions. These traditions focused on the importance of nature, animals, the seasons and the earth around them. The large rock formation of Stonehenge in England is a symbol of this time and people travel there in spring to watch the sun rise. These traditions continue to be celebrated in the UK today, in fun and friendly ways. Spring is a time when baby animals are born, flowers start to blossom and harvests are planted. It is a time of hope and celebration. In many primary schools across the country, eggs are brought into the classrooms in an incubator and the children watch them slowly hatch to reveal the fluffy chicks inside. Some schools have got a pond in which children can watch eggs hatch and grow from tadpoles, to small frogs. Easter is a school holiday in the UK.

Starting the lesson (optional)

• Draw images from a park on the board, e.g. trees, plants,

•

birds, a butterfly, a rubbish bin, etc. Elicit the vocabulary as you do so and the word environment. Write it on the board. Ask the class which festival involves thinking about our environment and elicit World Environment Day. Write World Environment Day on the board. Talk about World Environment Day in the children’s own language and English: Do you know when World Environment Day is? Do we celebrate it in our country / region? Why do we have it? How do you think people celebrate it around the world?

CULTURE NOTE:  World Environment Day World Environment Day was first held in 1973 and was created by the United Nations. It is a day to encourage worldwide understanding of our impact on the environment and nature – why we need to look after it and how we can protect it. Every year World Environment Day has a different focus, such as marine pollution, global warming, wildlife crime or getting back into nature. Cities around the world become the hosts for the day and have special activities such as tree planting, litter picking on beaches, bike rides, music and creative workshops. Children in school across the UK have special project lessons at school to display their ideas for the future and what they have learnt.

Classroom Resource Pack Vocabulary presentation: flashcards (optional)

• Show the flashcards one by one to introduce the new vocabulary. Repeat several times, encouraging the children to remember the words.

identifying and saying new vocabulary (as well as providing exposure to the written form of the words). Divide the class into an even number of teams to play the game. Two teams can play the game at a time. Ask a member of each of the first two teams to delete the text ‘Player 1’ and ‘Player 2’ and type in their names or team names, or type them in for the children. When the game begins, the children will see a scene which includes a space or ‘window’ where images of the items of vocabulary will appear one by one in random order. To begin the game, ask one of the players to press the Start button. Items will begin to appear in the ‘window’, one at a time. At the same time, the children will hear an item of vocabulary on the audio. The players must race to try and press their Match button when the item that appears in the ‘window’ matches the word on the audio. If the player does not match the audio and the picture correctly, the incorrect sound effect is heard and the game pauses for a moment before continuing. The player that pressed Match incorrectly also loses a star.

Classroom Presentation Tool (CPT) games information

• If a player matches the audio and the picture correctly,

•

a correct sound effect is heard, the audio replays the word for the child to repeat, and the written word appears on the screen. As a reward, he/she also gains a star for the team. After a correct match, a player presses the Start button again for the game to continue. The game continues as above until all the audio words have been matched with an image or until one team has lost all their stars.

The game focuses on the word order of structures in preparation for the children’s own writing. When the game opens, the children see a mainly blank screen with some small balloons to signify lives. Next to this is an empty picture frame with a space below it for text to appear in. Choose a child to come to the front of the class to play the game. Ask the child to press the Start button. When the game starts, a picture will appear in the picture frame and a

grammar. Choose two children, or two teams, to play the game. Ask the children to type in their names, or team names, over ‘Player 1’ and ‘Player 2’, or type them in for the children. Two piles of cards will be shown, on the left and right of the screen, and a space between them where two cards – one from each pile – will appear face up. Below these are two player areas, each with a coloured button reading Snap!, the player / team names and scores. The two players, or teams, compete to be the first to select the Snap! button when the cards turned up on the left and right match. Select the Start button to start the game and the timer will start. If playing in teams, line up the teams and explain that they get one turn each and then they must go to the back of the line so the next team mate can have a turn.

• Each team should take one turn at a time to turn over

pairs of cards. Continue until all the matching pairs have been found. Check the scores and say Well done! to the winning and losing teams.

vocabulary and grammar. Choose ‘One player’ or ‘Two player’ when you open the game. You may find the oneplayer format useful for demonstrating the game, but in most classroom situations, the two-player format will probably be preferred. Choose two children, or two teams, to play the game. Ask the children to type in their names, or team names, over ‘Player 1’ and ‘Player 2’, or type them in for the children. Various cards, face down, will be shown on the screen. Above these are two player areas, each with the team names and scores. The two teams compete to match pairs of cards. Line up the teams and explain that they get one turn each and then they must go to the back of the line, so the next team mate can have a turn. The first team player chooses any card and clicks it. The card will turn over to reveal a picture or text. The phrase matching the card is played on the audio. The same player then chooses another card. The selected card turns over to reveal a picture or text. The phrase matching the card is played on the audio. If the two cards match (either picture to picture or picture to text), the correct sound effect will be heard, and the correct audio will be heard. The successful team wins a point. If the two cards don’t match, the incorrect sound effect will be heard and both cards will turn back face down.

and a blurred picture. Choose a child to come to the front of the class and play the game. Ask the child to select the Start button. A number of mixed up letter tiles will appear on the screen and empty boxes will be seen below the picture. The timer will also start and the blurred effect on the picture slowly begins to clear. The player must try to order the letters to make the word before the timer runs out. The image, which little by little comes into focus, provides a clue to the word. The player clicks a letter tile and then an empty box to place letters in the word. If a letter is incorrectly placed, the incorrect audio sound effect will be heard, and the letter stays in its original position. If a letter is correctly placed, the correct sound effect will be heard. The letter then appears in place in the word and the letter tile disappears from its original position. The player continues, as above, until all the letters have been placed to make the word. The word is then heard on the audio and the full image revealed in focus. If the player runs out of time, the word and picture are revealed, and the then the game continues. Ask another child to come to the front to select the Next button and order the new word as described above. The game continues until all the words have been found.

Jigsaw

• This game introduces a festival and gives the children • •

an opportunity to make predictions about it before they listen for the first time. When the game opens, an empty frame for a jigsaw will appear in the middle of the screen, with jigsaw pieces around it. Invite individual children to come up to the board to click on a jigsaw piece and then a section in the jigsaw frame where they think it belongs. If the child matches the correct jigsaw piece to the correct section it will stay in place. Alternatively, you can use this game to encourage speaking practice of numbers and colours. Ask individual children to tell you the number of a jigsaw piece and then the colour of the section of the jigsaw frame where the piece belongs, e.g. Five. Purple. The finished jigsaw presents a vocabulary item for the festival. Ask the children questions about the picture, e.g. What colour is the … Do you like … ?

Click on the audio icon and encourage the whole class to repeat the word they hear. Ask individual children to come up to the board one at a time. Encourage them to find all the images of words which contain the sound (there may only be one). If the child decides a word contains the sound, they should select the image and then click one of the empty drop zones on the right. If they select the word correctly, the item will appear in the drop zone. If it is incorrect, then the item will remain on the left and the incorrect sound effect will be heard. The children can then try again. Continue until all the words that contain the sound have been found. The Next button will then become active.

Ask one child from each team to come to the front and type in their names, or team names, over ‘Player 1’ and ‘Player 2’, or type them in for the children. When the game opens a grid with nine spaces will appear in the middle of the screen. On either side of the grid, there are two player areas, each with the team name and a coloured icon. The two teams compete to place three of their icons in the grid in a row (horizontally, vertically or diagonally). The teams must answer a question correctly to place an icon. Line up the teams and explain that they get one turn each and then they must go to the back of the line, so the next team mate can have a turn. Select the Start button to begin the game. The first team select a square in the grid. An audio or text clue and pictorial or text answers appear in the question area on the screen. The team listen to the audio clue or read the text clue and then select the picture or text that matches the clue or answers the question. Encourage the team members to talk together to check their answer before making their selection. If the answer is incorrect, then the team cannot place an icon in the grid and the second team has a turn. If the answer is correct, the team’s icon appears in the selected square in the grid. The game continues until one team has placed three icons in a row, and therefore won, or until each square in the grid contains an icon and neither team can win.

and a mouse. Next to this is an empty picture frame with a space below it for text to appear in. Below this are some arrow buttons. Ask the child to press the Start button. When the game starts, a picture will appear in the picture frame, and a number of words (within pieces of cheese) and obstacles (unfriendly cats) appear positioned within the maze. The timer will also start. The player must use the arrow buttons to move the mouse around the maze, one square at a time. The mouse must ‘eat’ the pieces of cheese in the correct order, i.e. in the order that the words shown on the pieces of cheese form correct phrases (often questions and answers). This must be done before the timer runs out. The phrases are prompted by the image shown in the picture frame next to the maze. If the player moves the mouse onto a word in the wrong order, an incorrect sound effect is heard and the word remains on the cheese in the maze. If the player moves the mouse onto a word in the correct order, the correct sound effect is heard. The mouse then eats the cheese and the word disappears from the maze and appears in the text box. The player must avoid moving the mouse onto a square with a cat, as this will cause the cat to hiss and time to be lost. The game continues, as above, until all the words appear in the correct order in the text box. A sound effect is then heard to indicate that the full phrase is correct. If the player runs out of time before the end of the game, a ‘Game over’ pop-up appears. When all the words in a question have been found, the player is prompted to press the Start button and play the game again in the same way, this time to find the answer. When both a question and an answer have been found, they are played on the audio for the player to repeat. The game then continues with a new image and phrase to find, once the Next button is selected. The game can be easily adapted into a team game, with one member of a team at a time coming to the front to select words with the help of his / her team mates. Encourage the team mates to suggest the next word, and give instructions, e.g. Up! Down! Left! Right!

Ask a child to come to the front to choose and select the word which is missing from the first gap and then click on the gap. If the word is incorrect, the incorrect sound effect is heard and the gap remains empty. A balloon also pops to signify that a life has been lost. If the word is correct, a correct sound effect is heard.

• Ask different children to come up to the front to select

Ask one child from each team to come to the front and type in their names, or team names, over ‘Player 1’ and ‘Player 2’, or type them in for the children. When the game opens a picture will appear with sentence spaces below it. On either side of the picture, there are two player areas, each with the team name. The two teams compete to correctly complete the sentence based on the picture. Line up the teams and explain that they get one turn each and then they must go to the back of the line, so the next team mate can have a turn. Select the Start button to begin the game. The answer options rotate at random and slow to a stop. The first team clicks the up / down arrows to scroll through the options to select the part of the sentence for each space. Once all sentence parts have been selected, the team selects the Check button to check their answers. Encourage the team members to talk together before making their selections. If the answer is incorrect, then the team cannot complete the sentence and the second team has a turn. If the answer is correct, the corresponding audio plays and the team gets a star. The game continues until all screens have been completed.

jumbled images will appear in the middle of the screen. The children must race against the clock to find all instances of a given image in the frame. The game can be played in two versions; with text and with audio. In the audio version, the children listen to a word and then find all instances of it in the main frame. In the text version, the children read a word and then find all instances of it in the main frame. The number of stars next to the clue reveals how many times the image appears in the frame. Every time the children successfully find an image, one of the stars will light up. Divide the class into two teams and line them up at the board. The first team plays to complete the game first, taking it in turns to find the examples of each word. Award the team points if they complete the game against the timer. The second team then has their turn. Congratulate the winning team at the end. Alternatively, you could divide the class into small teams of two or three children. One child from a team selects the Start button (and the audio button if the audio version is being played). Then the whole team race to find all instances of the item on the screen. Once the team has found them, they sit back down and another team plays the game. Continue until all the items have been found.

Wordcards

• As you work through each unit, make wordcards for the

vocabulary sets as a class. Ask fast finishers to create large wordcards by writing the target vocabulary onto pieces of card. These can be used for games and revision with the class. Wordcards can be used in the flashcard games below as indicated by *.

Flashcard activities Basketball

• Use an empty wastepaper bin as a ‘basket’ for this game. •

You will also need a soft ball or a bean bag. Divide the class into two teams. Show a flashcard to a child from one team. If they answer with the correct word then they can take a shot at the basket. If the ball lands in the basket then that team wins two points. If the ball hits the basket but doesn’t go inside, then the team wins one point. The other team then take a turn to name a flashcard and shoot a basket. The team with the most points is the winner.

Cross the river

• Place flashcards spaced out on the floor in a winding

pattern. Tell the children that each flashcard represents a stepping stone along the river. The children must say the word on the flashcard in order to step over it and move forward along the river!

Easy or hard

• You need at least 20 cards to play. Divide the cards into

two piles, one Easy and one Hard pile, face down. Divide the class into two or four teams. Ask the first team if they would like an easy or a hard card. Tell them they will win two points for an easy card or five points for a hard one. The game continues with the teams choosing whether they want to name an easy or a hard card.

Hit the card*

• You will need a small ball or a soft toy to throw for this

game. Place the flashcards you want to review on the board so the class can see them. Ask four or five children to come out to the front of the class. Hand the first child the ball or soft toy. Call out a word. The child throws the ball and tries to hit the correct word. Repeat with the other children.

Jumping the line

• Draw an imaginary line dividing the room and place a

chair to show the boundary of the line. Designate one side as ‘true’ and the other side as ‘false’. Line up the children along the line. Now hold up a flashcard and say a word. If the children think you said the word that matches the flashcard, they should jump to the ‘true’ side, otherwise they should jump to the ‘false’ side. If any of the children jump to the wrong side of the line, just quickly correct them saying the word and getting everyone to repeat.

Lucky dip

• Sit the children in a circle. Put enough flashcards in a bag

or box so that there is one per child. Let the children come up one by one and take a flashcard. Once all the children have a flashcard, see if they can say the word on it. When all the children are sure of their word, start in one part of the circle and encourage them to lift up their flashcard and say what’s on it. The children do this all the way around the circle, back to the beginning.

Noughts and crosses

• Draw a noughts and crosses grid with three columns

across and three rows down on the board. Make the squares big enough to fit a flashcard. Choose nine flashcards of words you want to review and attach them face down, one in each of the squares. Number each square or give each square a letter of the alphabet for the children to say to choose a square. Divide the children into two teams, Noughts (O) and Crosses (X). The teams take it in turns to choose one of the squares. Turn over the flashcard and see if the team can say what’s on the flashcard. If they can, they win the square and write a O or a X depending on which team were playing. The winning team is the one that gets three in a row.

Slow reveal*

• Hold a piece of A4 paper over a flashcard so it is

completely hidden from the class. Slowly move the paper, revealing the card. The children shout out guesses until one guesses correctly. The child, or their team, are the winner.

Over-under

• Line up the children in two teams. Give the two children

at the front a flashcard each. When you say Go, the child in front says the word and passes the flashcard over their head, the next child says the word and passes the card under their legs, the next child over, then under, etc. The last child in the line races to the front, gives you the flashcard and says the word. The first team to do so gets a point.

Question chain

• Sit the children in a circle. Choose a lexical set, e.g.

activities / animals / clothes. Start by showing the children a flashcard and asking the child on your right a question about the flashcard, e.g. Did you wear a cotton T-shirt yesterday? That child must answer the question and ask the next child the same question. Go round the circle then change the flashcard and the question.

Roll the dice

• Split the class into two to four teams. Show a flashcard

of one of the words you are working on to a child in one of the groups. If the child can say the word, they throw a dice. If they throw a 1 they get 10 points, 2–20 points, 3–30 points, and so on up to 60 points. If the child needs help from their group, the group just gets five points. Ideas bank

181

Repeat the procedure showing another flashcard to a child from a different group and so on.

Sticky note reveal*

• Completely cover a flashcard with a number of sticky-

notes. The children ask questions to guess what it is. If you answer yes, take off a sticky note. If you answer no, then leave it as is. The child or team who guesses what it is, is the winner.

Find your partner*

• Divide the class into two groups. Choose a set of

flashcards and hand them out to individuals or pairs of children in one group. Then whisper a word corresponding to the flashcards to individuals or pairs in the other group. Ask the children to go around the classroom looking for the child or pair that has the corresponding word / flashcard.

High five

• Choose a flashcard from a set and hold it to your chest.

Say, e.g. (Unit 4 Jobs) I talked to the … but don’t name the item. The children guess by saying or acting out the possible word. When a child guesses correctly, give them a ‘high-five’ and that child comes out to be teacher. Play again.

Listen and find

• Place flashcards on the walls around the room or on the

floor. Call out a word for the children to point to, or walk to and touch. Ask confident children to take turns being the teacher and calling out words for their classmates.

Stop!*

• Select a set of flashcards. Tell the children to look out for a particular word. When they see it they should shout Stop! Flick through the cards until they stop you at the correct word.

Flashing a card*

• Hold a flashcard facing you so that the children can’t see

it. Turn the card quickly so the children see it for a second. The first person to tell you what was on it is the winner.

Hidden pictures

• Hide a set of flashcards around the class. Say a word

to groups or pairs of children. They must find the corresponding flashcard. When they find the matching picture, they say the word out loud to the class.

Teacher’s mistake*

• Show the children a flashcard and describe it in a

children have guessed it, so the cards are slowly removed from the board.

Board pelmanism*

• Create wordcards as a class for the vocabulary set you

want to practise. Mix up the flashcards and wordcards. Spread them face down on the board or floor. Take turns to pick up two cards. If they are the same, keep them face up and the children say the word. If they are different, place them face down again. Continue until all the pairs are found.

Memory chain

• One child says a word in a sentence, e.g. I’m going to climb a mountain. The next child repeats that word and adds another e.g. I’m going to climb a mountain and swim in the lake. Use flashcards on the board to help the children remember the chain.

If it is not, write the letter on the side of the board and move the stickman down one step towards the shark. They must try to guess before they fall in the sea!

Guess

• One child in a pair, small group or at the front of the

class secretly chooses an object. The other children ask questions to guess which object they have chosen, e.g. Is it made of (metal)? Yes, it is. Is it on your neck? No, it isn’t. Is it on your arm? Yes, it is. The first group or child to guess wins a point.

• Divide the class into teams. Show teams a flashcard and

say Go! One child from each team races to the board and writes the word. The first child to get to the board and correctly write the word wins a point for their team.

Describe and draw

• Put the children into pairs. They draw a picture of

something you’d like them to draw, e.g. a cook, focussing on his appearance, e.g. long, fair hair, big ears, blue eyes, a white hat, etc. They then describe their picture to their partner who listens and draws what they hear. They compare their pictures when finished to check that they are the same.

Word searches

• The children create word searches with known words for

another child to do. Tell them to choose eight words, e.g. the words from a unit. Give the children a grid to write the words across and down. They then fill in the other squares in the grid with other letters.

Ladders

• Divide the class into two teams and line each team up

facing the board. Give the child at the front of each team a board pen. Draw two simple ladders in front of each team and number each rung 10–1 down the board. Call

out a topic for the children to write words connected to that topic. The first child runs forward, writes a word next to number 1, runs back to their team and hands the whiteboard marker to the second child. The second child runs forward and writes the next word, and so on until their team finishes at number 10. The team that finishes first wins 1 point. Both teams then get a point for every word that is spelt correctly, connected to the topic and different from the other team (so no cheating!).

Two-minute race

• Put the children into small groups of two or three. Give

each group a piece of paper and a pencil. Tell the children they have two minutes to write as many words connected with a topic as they can. Set a timer on your IWB, phone, or clock. Give the children the topic and start! The children win a point for each word connected with the topic. Teams switch their paper with another group to check their words. In a more confident class, groups award points if the words are spelt correctly. To make this game extra challenging, award points only for words that no other team has.

Alphabet race

• Put children into small groups and hand them a piece of

paper and a pencil. They write the letters A–Z on the left of the paper. Set a time limit of two minutes for teams to write words connected to a topic for each letter. If they don’t know a word for that letter, they can skip it. The winning team has the most correct words.

Collocations race

• Write a verb on the board for children call out or write as

many words that collocate with it as possible. Repeat with another verb, e.g. do, play, go.

Line by line

• Draw an object one line at a time. Ask the class to guess what it is after each line. The first child to guess is the winner.

Spelling games Word chains

• Write a starter word in the centre of the board, e.g. metal.

In teams, the children take turns to call out, or come to the board and write, a word which either starts with the ending letter, e.g. ‘l’, or ends with the starting letter, e.g. ‘m’. As each word is added, draw a line under it. Once eight to ten words have been added to the chain, cover one word at a time for the class to spell back to you.

Words from words

• Write a long word on the board. Ask children in pairs to

write as many words they can make from the letters in that larger word, e.g. mountain biking – bin, in, king, man, tin, etc. Set a time limit of one minute.

Spelling bee

• Do a traditional Spelling bee. Call out a word for teams to take turns to stand up and spell. Write the letters on the board as they say them or invite another child to write them. If they spell the word correctly they win a point.

Toss a word

• Pairs choose a word from the unit or vocabulary list. They throw a small ball or object back and forward between them as they spell the word, e.g. giraffe – G (throw) I (throw) R (throw) A (throw) F (throw) F (throw) E (throw).

Wordsnake

• Write a word from the unit on the board. Ask the class to

say another word that starts with the last letter of that word or ends with the first letter. Write the word attached to the first word to start your snake. Continue until the class cannot think of any other words from the unit or course. Try to make the wordsnake as long as you can. Record the number of words and try and beat it the next time you play.

Word jumble

• Write a word on the board with the letters jumbled up.

Ask the children to unjumble the letters and find the word. The first child to name the word comes to the front, chooses a new word and writes it with jumbled letters for the rest of the class to guess.

Grammar games Sentence, please

• Write ten words you want to revise on the board. In pairs

or small groups the children write sentences using the ten words. They can use each word more than once in each sentence. They get a point for every correct sentence they can make. Take off points for incorrect spelling, word order, and punctuation.

Find someone who …

• As a class write five or six sentences or questions using

language from the unit that you want to revise, e.g. present simple and adverbs of frequency. Use the sentences to make a Find someone who … questionnaire, e.g. Find someone who …usually gets up at seven o’clock / plays tennis every Saturday, etc. The children stand up and walk around the class, asking questions to find someone who says yes. When they do, they write their name next to the sentence.

Error correction

• Write eight to ten sentences on the board, some with

grammar mistakes and some that are correct. Put the children into small groups. They look at each sentence and rewrite it if they think it is incorrect. Ask Who wants to do number one? The team that puts their hand up first gets to correct it. They win a point if they do so correctly.

Sentence blocks

• Use plastic play blocks to identify parts of the sentence

and word order when teaching structures with the All about grammar boxes. For example, when teaching the past simple, use a green block for the pronoun, a red block for a negative, a blue block for an affirmative and a yellow block for the object or verb phrase that follows. Encourage the children make sentences from the All about grammar box, using the play blocks to help them consolidate the structure.

Rules, rules, rules!

• Ask the children to think of a place in town (e.g.

the swimming pool, the museum, the library, the supermarket, the park, etc). They write it on a piece of paper without showing anyone. The children walk around the class, telling their classmates the rules for their place, e.g. You mustn’t run. You must have a shower. Their classmates guess the place.

Have you ever … ?

• A speaking game to practise and review the present

perfect simple. Ask the class Have you ever been to (London)? The children that have stand up and say, Yes, I have. The children sitting down say No, I haven't. Invite a volunteer to take a turn to ask a question using the structure. Encourage the class to be imaginative. Have you ever seen a whale? Have you ever eaten fish and chips? Have you ever seen the King? etc.

Numbers game

• Point to the Famous landmarks in Europe poster. On the

board, write a table with the headings Date, Time, Metres, Years and Steps. On the board, write the numbers seen on the poster. Divide the class into two teams. A child from each team (decided in advance) shouts out the correct column on the board. The winner receives a point. Continue until all the numbers from the poster have been read out. Extend this activity by telling the children to write the final table in their note books.

Poster activities

Animation and film activities

Group presentation

Flashcard story guess*

• Point to the Practising English together poster. Tell the class

On a piece of paper, they have to write down all their ideas, such as the title, the characters, the plot, and why it will be such a popular book. Then read through the poster together and decide as a class which of the activities on the poster they should carry out in order to create a good presentation. The children create their presentation together. They should decide who carries out each role, e.g. planning, preparing and presenting and which elements of the poster they will focus on to create the best presentation. When they are ready, each group presents their book to the class. The other children choose their favourite book and say why it is their favourite. This activity can be extended by asking the children to prepare general questions to ask the presenters.

Film review

• Point to the Practising English together poster. Discuss

the importance of using authentic materials to practise English. Read through the sections that relate to reading a book, watching a film together. The children vote for the activity on the poster they would like to do. If the children choose films, find a film to watch in class. Tell the children the title but not what the film is about. The children then guess. Next, play the film with no sound and the children look at the characters and the setting to try to work out what’s happening. Then, play the film again with the volume up. Afterwards, discuss what the children got right, and how they knew the answers. As an extension, the children can write a review of the short film, saying what the film is about and what they liked and didn’t like about it. This work can be edited by their classmates and then presented to the class.

Guess the landmark

• Point to the Famous landmarks in Europe poster. Let the

children look at the poster. Start by describing a landmark and ask the children to guess the country. For example: It looks like a triangle. It’s very tall. There’s a lift to the 2nd

are describing. Do this with books open or books closed. Invite children to take turns describing a picture or a character.

Mime the sentence

• Invite a small group of children to the front of the class.

Explain the setting. For example: This is a ski slope. Daniel, Paula, Sergio and Laura are skiiers. Whisper a sentence to the group containing some of the language from the lesson, for example, Skiing is the most exciting sport! Put the beginning of the sentence on the board: Skiing is the _______. The children mime the scenario for their classmates to guess and complete the sentence. Invite another group to the front of the class and play again. Try putting fewer words in the sentence on the board each time you play.

• Create wordcards as a class for the vocabulary set you

want to practise. Hand out wordcards to the children. Put the corresponding flashcards in a pile at the front of the class. Choose one flashcard in secret and write a sound on the board, but without saying what the word is. Anyone whose wordcard contains the same sound calls out his or her word. Continue with other sounds in that word until it is clear which word you have got. Get the class to say the word and the child with the matching wordcard comes to the front of the class.

Silent sounds behind you

• Draw a letter on a child’s back with your finger. They guess which letter it is and say the sound. Put the children into pairs to play.

Giving support and praise Well done. Yes, that’s right. Not quite. Try again! That’s very good. That’s a lovely picture! Good try. That’s nice / lovely. I like your drawing. Give yourselves a clap. That’s fantastic. Great!

Carrying out activities Guess. / Can you guess? Help each other. Get into pairs / groups / teams. Work alone. Is that right? Stand in a circle / line. Take turns. Whose turn is it? It’s your turn. Ready, steady, go! 188

Classroom language

You’re out. Never mind. Better luck next time! It’s a draw. X is the winner. Shuffle the cards. Choose a card. Don’t show anybody your card. Turn the card over. No cheating.

Dear parents and carers, This year your child will be learning English using Learn with Us 6, where he or she will be able to delve into the life of our main character, Daisy, with her family, her school friends, Zoe and Peter, and her friends around the world. We learn about Daisy, initially as she and her family await the arrival of her grandparents for afternoon tea. We then learn more about the technology Daisy uses to communicate with her family and friends. We accompany Daisy and her friends to a mountain biking competition in a village and go on day out to the city by train. We go to the coast with them on an activities weekend. We discover what Daisy does at the youth club and what job she wants to do at the TV studio. Finally, we meet Daisy’s Uncle Alfonso who has been travelling around Europe and shares some of the highlights. Following a real child’s life creates a motivating and meaningful context for learning essential words, structures and skills in English. Learn with Us 6 offers stories and interesting real-life culture films and charming animated stories, introduced by Daisy, which will enrich your child’s learning and his or her understanding of the culture of the UK and other English speaking countries, values and citizenship, and the wider world. Learn with Us 6 also provides a wealth of extra material such as videos, songs, projects and interactive games. Learn with Us 6 has a strong focus on developing your child’s communication skills and confidence in speaking English through frequent collaborative speaking activities. The children are regularly encouraged to give their opinion in English and nine projects over the year give them lots of opportunity to use English in a personalized and meaningful way. Literacy skills continue to be developed through fun unit and revision stories and other interesting reading texts, for example in the culture pages. Get involved by reading or watching them together. Encourage your child to tell you about their learning and compare similarities and differences in culture. Learn with Us 6 recognizes that your support and encouragement are important to your child’s success and provides plenty of ways for you to join in actively with your child’s learning, even if you don’t speak English. Encourage your child to sing you the songs he or she learns in class, ask him or her to tell you about the children they have met in Learn with Us 6 in the real-life and animated films and stories, and share his or her experiences. Try to look at his or her work regularly and ask about favourite activities in each unit. Always give lots of praise for your child’s efforts. Encourage your child to look back at his or her work and see what has been done well, what he or she is proud of, what can be improved and also what targets he or she has set for the next unit. Please do not hesitate to ask me anything about your child’s progress this year. Welcome to Learn with Us! Yours sincerely, English teacher
