Week+4+Families

Objective:[[image:autumn_tree.jpg width="118" height="144" align="right"]]
Teachers note: children following this scheme will have come across similar materials in year 4 but on a word level, while this lesson uses their familiarity to exploit sentence/text level work.
 * To revise the core structure of //‘As-tu?’// or //‘Tu as?’// (both meaning 'Do you have?')
 * To memorise the names of different family members.

Resources:
IWB or screen with sound enabled if you wish to use the websites. Copies of wordsearch and Happy families cards need to be photocopied and cut up. Laminate if possible as this resource can be re-used. (see below) //**Teachers note:** Allow children to self-differentiate by using one-word question and answers when playing the Happy Families or whole sentences. ideally Year 6 should be using full sentences but there will always be some children who need more support.// || * media type="file" key="07 Family members.mp3" width="240" height="20" soundfiles from LCF Babelzone

 * ~ Main Activity || * **Use the Simpsons family PowerPoint to introduce key vocabulary**. Read through the Simpsons family PP up to and including slide 14. See also ‘Simpsons’ word document. (They have already used the Simpsons as a simple family tree in Year 4 so this should be fairly easy to understand, we want to reinforce the vocabulary)
 * **Revise the question ‘have you got…’** ( //As-tu?// Or //Tu as?// )
 * **Play happy families game** - cards need to be cut up and one set given to each group of children. Shuffle the cards and deal out to players. Each player is trying to be the first to collect a complete family. Youngest player starts by asking any other player for a card they need to make a set in French. For example they might need the dad from the Simpsons so they must ask //'As-tu le pere Simpson?// '. If the player asked does have the card they must hand it over and the first player has another go. If not then it is now their turn to choose a player and ask for a card.
 * **Extension / alternative** – use Happy Families phoneme cards and play the game in the same way (Links to O6.3 )

 * ~ Plenary || * Review the Happy Families game: who were the winners? Who do the children want to nominate as 'learner of the week' for trying the hardest to keep talking French throughout? Gradually turn the discussion to key questions to reflect on learning and Language Learning Strategies e.g how did you remember a particular word or sound? || * none needed ||
