Crew Challenge

21st January 2024Ruth Shields

Our crew Challenge was to use a range of gestures to help people decide which card they had. Each person was given a card and you had to treat people based on the value of their card. After having time to greet each other, they then had to decide if they had a low, middle or high value card. Once they’d decided they could finally look at their card. Most children were able to guess the value of their card as some children bowed to them, waved or give them a thumbs up/down.

We discussed how there will be occasions when we don’t have to say anything because our body language will do all the talking.

We have been looking at items of clothing and identifying any cognates or near cognates with the translations. We then discussed the different nouns for clothing items and how the determiner changes depending on whether it is masculine, feminine or plural. We applied our new knowledge by completing a written task that required us to think about the rules of the French language and whether the determiners we had chosen were appropriate for the noun. We worked really hard and the discussions we had in our groups were really helpful.

We have used our French knowledge of shape, colour and size to complete a number of different activities to help to embed our learning.

Colour splat – Who can splat the correct colour in the fastest time?

Listen carefully – Who can identify the correct colour and hold up the corresponding block? Can you listen to the sequence and create the matching tower?

Shape matching – Who can identify the correct shape AND the correct colour? Can you work as a team to be the quickest team to do this correctly?

Christmas craft – Using the shapes and colours we have looked at, can you create a Christmas image? Could you describe the shapes you used to create your image in French?
