7.      IN CLASS:

-         The teacher will show the pupils the poster of the season and they will practice  vocabulary by repetition, asking questions or pointing in the poster.

-         After a few times when the children are a bit confidence with the vocabulary we can start by painting the worksheets individually.

-         We will photocopy a few copies for each item of vocabulary.

-         Pupils will colour the worksheet and we will stick it in the walls then we can play look for a (leave, a bee...).

-         After that the pupils will get a copy of a little object, for example: a bee in Spring, a glove in Winter, a leaf in Autumn or a pair of sunglasses in Summer. They will have to colour it a bit, cut it and stick their photo in the middle, then we will put the objects in the wall with the other decoration.
