P7

Welcome to P7 French/Spanish! Salut! ¡Hola!

P7 is a coming together of the programme and a preparation for the transition to Falkirk High. We really enjoyed having your P7 pupils visit us for the P7 French cinema experience would like to repeat it on a yearly basis and incorporate a study of Le Petit nicolas when pupils become our S1 pupils.

We very much value the P7 transition visits and hope to have more links with you all so that the P7 transition lessons can link to our common programme.

P7 French topics

1. Buying food in a bakery in France and/or setting up a French cafe
2. L'environnement (the environment and recycling)
3. Passeport pour  la Francophone: La France (Education Scotland)

1. La boulangerie/French café

The focus here would be simple dialogues for buying something in a cafe or a bakery and then maybe setting a French cafe or bakery either in class or for the rest of the school

2. L'environnement (The environment)

In this topic there is a look at the environment using French. This could seem like a difficult topic but can just be used at the level the pupils are working at. It is helpful for judging level 2 CFE if there is evidence that the pupils are progressing well with some of the material.

P7 Spanish 

Contents

1. P7 Spanish suggested topics for teaching programme (may need to wait until next year as pupils will not have done any Spanish and may need to be just working on the P5 programme but teachers could choose what they wish)
2. Ideas from the P5 tab which can be used for teaching Spanish for beginners
3. Tips for teaching Spanish if you don't speak Spanish!!
4. Teaching resources for (future) planning within the programme

1.P7 SUGGESTED TOPICS FOR A P7 SPANISH PROGRAMME  (pupils would need the basics from P5 first)

1. El cuerpo y la ropa (clothes and body)
2. La ropa clothes
3. La hora (Time)
4. La geografia espanola y latin americana (Spanish and Latin American geography)

Again we would recommend that teachers for the P5 outline for August 2015 and add in elements of P6 and P7 only if they wish or have time. We have offered resources for P7 for future planning as we progress through the initiative. Here are the same ideas from the P5 tab.

2. P5 – P7 Spanish (from the P5 tab. Based on the P1- 4 French ideas)

Contents

Here's a checklist of activities from the P1 – P4 French which can also be used in Spanish. At the beginning it would be best for teachers P5 – P7 to start with a common approach using P5 ideas and then gradually build up as appropriate

 Classroom instructions

·                     By taking the register in Spanish on a regular basis, it's easy to drip feed a 

little Spanish into the daily routine.  

·                     You can add variety by asking pupils to give a different word relevant to the topic you are working on, e.g. a month of the year, their favourite sounding number or favourite Spanish word etc. 

4.  Introductions

Below is a table with key vocabulary:

Español	Inglés
¡Buenos días!	Hello!
¡Hola!	Hi!
Por favor	Please (to teacher)
Por favor	Please (to friend and classmate)
Gracias	Thank you
Adiós	Goodbye
Hasta pronto	See you later
¿Cómo te llamas?	What is your name?
Me llamo …	My name is…
Te llamas…	Your name is…

¿Dónde está Pablo?

You need a small soft toy with a Spanish name

Choose someone who will have to locate the toy and ask them to leave the room or cover their eyes while you give the toy to another child. They should hide the toy. 

The task is then for the child who left the room to find the toy. They can ask anyone but must say, "Buenos días me llamo (child's name), y tú?

The child they have asked should respond with, "Buenos días, me llamo (their name)," or "Buenos dias me llamo Pablo," if they have Pablo.

3 guesses is enough. If the toy isn't found, then a rousing chorus of "¿Dónde está Pablo?" usually brings him out.

 Using flashcards to practise language (Asking how you are)

Flashcard game examples

Show pupils a card and give them a choice between two options.  They have to call out the correct one. Hold flashcards to your chest.  Pupils have to guess the card you are holding and get a point for their team if they guess correctly. Use flashcards to play heads down thumbs up. The thumb-putter-downers hold a flashcard each.  When it comes to guessing who has put down their thumbs, the pupil says the word that the flashcard represents as opposed to that person's name

Beach ball - throw around a beach ball asking the question "¿Qué tal = How are you?" and pupils have to answer

Talking exercises.  

Give pupils a show me board between two.  They draw an emoticon on it.  When one pupil asks the other, "Qué tal?", they have to give the answer represented by the emoticon.

Noughts and Crosses.   Give pupils a show me board between two.  They draw a noughts and crosses board on it and populate the squares with the different emoticons.  When one pupil asks the other, "Qué tal?", they answer according to the emoticon in the box they want to populate.

Whole class noughts and crosses

Pass the parcel

Fill a Poundland gift box with “feeling” emoticons.  Pick a class DJ and put on some Spanish music from YouTube.  Pupils pass the box around the room to the music.  Then the DJ hits stop, the pupil with the box picks an emoticon from the box and is asked the question, "Qué tal?" by the class.  They answer according to the emoticon they are holding. 

Ask pupils "¿Qué tal?" on a regular basis as they enter the classroom.

Pupils say how they are feeling as they leave the classroom.

When taking the register, pupils say how they are feeling

Numbers

Find a Friend:

Ask the children to move around the room. On signal, they have to get into groups of the correct number.

     1    uno                                            6 seis                           11 once    

     2    dos                                            7 siete                          12 doce   

     3    tres                                            8 ocho    

     4    cuatro                                        9 nueve

     5    cinco                                         10 diez

Hopscotch in the playground with the numbers in Spanish

Swat the board/Fastest Finger First

• Divide pupils into two teams.   
• Pick a representative from each team, a points person and a caller (the caller can be yourself).  The caller calls out a number in Spanish.  

The first person to swat or touch the correct number on their side of the board, wins a point.  Then rotate roles for each new board.

Noughts and crosses with numbers

Pass the parcel

In a box, include slips of paper each with a number on them. 

You can differentiate this by putting digits on one colour of paper and the numbers written in Spanish on another colour of paper.  

Play Spanish music in the class.  

·                     When the music stops, the person holding the box picks a slip of paper.  

·                     If it's a digit, they have to say that number in Spanish.  If it's a number written in Spanish, they should translate it into English.

Heads Down Thumbs up

The four thumb-putter-downers have a show me board with a 

number between 0-12 written on it as a digit or in Spanish

.  

Instead of guessing the person's name that put down your thumb, you have to say the correct number that the person is holding. 

Colours

 In the hoop (you might need the gym or outside for this)

Ask the children to move around the room. On signal, they have to find a hoop of the correct colour.

·                     rojo   red                                    verde     green

·                     amarillo   yellow                        azúl   blue

Azúl-Blanco-Rojo (gym hall or outside needed again)

·                     Agree a start and finish line.  

·                     All the children stand at the starting point.

·                     The aim of the game is to be the first person to get to the finishing line.

·                     The caller has three commands:

Azúl = run

Rojo = stop

·                     If the command is Rojo (stop) the caller checks to see if anyone is moving. 

·                     Anyone who is still moving has to return to the starting point.

Noughts and crosses.  Say the colour that's in the box you want to populate.

Link colours to the different school lunch options.  

·                     In class, pupils can make their lunch choice in Spanish.  

·                     They could also then order their lunch (by colour) in the canteen.

Colour Swap Paired Talking exercise.  

·                     In pairs give each pupil four different coloured pencils.  

·                     One pupil asks the other for a colour, "el azúl, por favor" for example and they then swap colour.

Colour by numbers

Pupils colour in balloons according to the instructions (Practises colours and numbers together)

When pupils are colouring in in Spanish, encourage them to do this in Spanish.  In their groups, they can ask each other for the colour they would like in Spanish:

To do this, they sit in groups but can't take a coloured pencil themselves.  They need to ask someone in their group to pass it to them: "El boli rojo por favor".  (The red pencil, please); " El boli azúl por favor" (The blue pen please). The person passing the pen or pencil replies, "Toma" (here you go).

¡Pillado! (Snap in Spanish) 

The teacher or a volunteer calls out a colour in Spanish.

The first pupil out of the pair to hit the correct colour of hand and shouts "¡Pillado!", gets a point/counter.  The person with the most at the end, wins.  

Play Twister in Spanish

 When mixing colours in Art, do this in Spanish. Below is the vocabulary to help you. 

¿(Colour)más (Colour) igual a? (Colour) mixed with (colour) makes?  Pupils then give the answer in Spanish.

e.g ¿Azúl más amarillo? Answer: verde.

Days of the week
 Give an action for each day.  

·                     Pupils perform an action in response to the teacher saying a day of the week.  

·                     e.g. lunes - hands in lap, martes - hands on shoulders, miércoles - hands on earlobes, jueves - hands on nose, viernes - hands on head, sábado - hands in the air, domingo - jump up.

  Levantaos (stand up)

·                     Divide the class into two teams.  

·                     Give each pupil a card with a day of the week on it.  

·                     Teacher calls out a day of the week and the pupil stands up - who can be first?

 Whisper chain

·                     Give each pupil a card with a day of the week on it.  

·                     Pupils walk around the room whispering their day and form a chain with the other pupils who have the same day.

 Months of the year
For certain months, the images have a bit of cultural significance for Spain:

o                  Febrero: Carnavales

o                  Easter: Semana santa

o                  Xmas: Navidades

o                  La vuelta al cole: Back to school 

o                  Guess the month hiding behind the flashcards. 

Main learning points: they don't start with a capital letter in Spanish; many of the months are cognates (look like the English months of the year).

  Connect 4

·                     Play connect four.

·                     Pupils have to say a month of the year as they place a counter in the grid.

Crouch down jump up

·                     Pupils crouch behind their chair

·                     They jump up when they hear the month in Spanish that their birthday is in.

¡Pillado! (Snap)

·                     Pupils play snap using cards  

·                     The teacher or a volunteer calls out a month of the year in Spanish.

·                     The first pupil out of the pair to hit the image that matches this month (the same as those used in the introductory power point) and shouts "¡Pillado!", gets a point/counter.  The person with the most at the end, wins.  

 Train display for classroom

The months of the year could be displayed on carriages of a train: 

Conversational vocabulary

 Who said that to revise key "getting by vocabulary" - hello, goodbye, please, thank you?  

·                     A pupil sits with their back to the class.  

·                     Someone in the class has to say one of the key conversational bits of vocab: "Buenos días", "adiós", "por favor", "gracias". 

·                     If the person with their back to the class guesses correctly, they swap places with that person. 

 "Soy la reina victoria" "My name is Queen Victoria" to revise "my name is...."

·                     Similar to the game above.

·                     Pupils form a line at the back of the class and one pupil stands at the front of the class with their back to everyone else.  

·                     The teacher points to a pupil at the back of the class.  They say "Soy la reina Victoria" in a funny voice.

·                     If the person with their back to the class guesses correctly, they swap places with that person. 

 "Soy la reina Victoria" "My name is Queen Victoria" to revise "my name is...."

·                     Similar to the game above.

·                     Pupils form a line at the back of the class and one pupil stands at the front of the class with their back to everyone else.  

·                     The teacher points to a pupil at the back of the class.  They say “Soy la reina Victoria" in a funny voice.

·                     If the pupil at the front guesses correctly, they swap places.  Funny if you can sneak the odd guest teacher in for this too, we've had a head teacher take part!

  
Numbers

Fizz Buzz.  You sit when the teacher says an odd number and stand when they say an even number.

  Number Dash.  Best done in the gym hall and a good P.E warm-up.

 ¿Cuantos anmales hay?: How many animals are there?
  Hide and seek.  

·                     A pupil leaves the classroom.  

·                     You hide an object and the pupil then returns.  

·                     The rest of the class then chants the numbers (either 1-10 or 11-20), getting louder according to how close (warm) they get to finding the object and getting quieter according to how far (cold) they are.  

·                     You could use an object relevant to the topic you are studying.

 Numbers 1-20

Contestad en español (answer in Spanish)

·                     When working on Maths in English, give pupils the option of answering in Spanish.

·                     They make two rows at the front of the class, an "uno" facing a "dos"

·                     They ask the person opposite them how old they are, this person asks them and then asks them the same question back.

·                     The number one person at the end of the row then casts off and goes to the bottom of the line.  Pupils shuffle up a place.

·                     Keep repeating so that pupils practise with lots of different people until they feel confident.  

·                     You can be in the middle of one of the rows taking part or circulate, listening to pupils' answers.

·                     Build up the conversation to include a greeting, pupils asking each other their name, then their age, then choosing a way to say goodbye.

 Class Lotto

·                     Give pupils a card each with a number on it between 1-20 on it (give out the cards in chronological order - it doesn't matter if you have to repeat numbers so each pupil has one).

 Starting to explore a bilingual dictionary  
Pupils can start to explore a bilingual dictionary ,becoming familiar with the fact that it is divided into two halves and starting to find the different letters in each half.  These are a few simple/silly games to get this started:

·                     Dictionary races when pupils go head-to-head, going from one end of the classroom to the other with a dictionary on their heads

·                     Fastest finger first - "Who can find me the letter D in the Spanish side of the dictionary?"  The first person to point to that letter in their dictionary gets a point for their team.

·                     Organising a list of words on the topic being studied into alphabetical order, which will help them when then looking up these words in the dictionary

The main aim of the 1+2 FHS programme from P1 to level 3 CFE is for pupils to enjoy exploring both languages with a view to then specialising in the language of their choice at National 4 and 5 level
