lots of things they learnt. The overall purpose of
this unit is to review and consolidate language seen
previously.

Warmer
Introduce yourself. Write your name on the board.
Ask individual children: Whats your name? Respond:
Hello (Maria). Nice to meet you. Children mingle and
introduce themselves. Distribute slips of paper, one for
each child. Allow children to create their own name
tags adding drawings if they wish.

objects as they can see in the classroom. Children swap
their lists. Elicit all the objects to ensure they are correct.
The child with the most correct words is the winner.

Values: Remind children of the importance of respect
and co-operation in the classroom. Elicit class rules
and write them on the board. Once agreed on, write
the rules on a poster to be signed by each child in the
following class and displayed on the wall.
Optional extra: Ask questions about the narrative
to check comprehension.
