Teaching notes forPhotocopiablesPhotocopiable activity 1 (Unit 1 page 12)

• Hand out copies of Photocopiable activity 1 (page T90), one for each pupil. Read through the questions in the left-hand column with the class and check comprehension. Tell pupils to complete the � rst column about themselves. They write Yes or No.

• Demonstrate how pupils ask and answer the questions to � nd out about their friends. They answer using Yes, I do / No, I don’t.

• Pupils take their surveys and a pencil. They � nd a friend. They both write the friend’s name at the top of the � rst ‘My friend’ column. Then they exchange information by asking and answering questions. Monitor and check they are asking full questions and answering Yes, I do or No, I don’t. Clap your hands. Pupils � nd a different friend, write his / her name in the second ‘My friend’ column on the sheet and ask and answer.

• Elicit information from pupils by asking (Name), tell me about one of your friends. Pupils respond, e.g. Johanna doesn’t like shopping. She wants to be a doctor. Prompt pupils to join sentences with and / but as appropriate. Practise short third person answers by asking, e.g. (Name), does Maria enjoy reading about science?

Photocopiable activity 2 (Unit 2 page 21)

• Hand out copies of Photocopiable activity 2 (page T91), one for each pupil. Check understanding of the prepositions, using classroom objects to demonstrate. Teach above and below.

• Read the instructions for Activity 1 and check understanding. Pupils work individually. They choose and circle the preposition they want to complete each sentence. Then they draw each object in the right place in the picture of the room in Activity 2. Fast � nishers can colour the objects and furniture in the room.

• Make pairs of pupils who don’t usually work together (pupils sitting next to each other might have looked at each other’s pictures). Pupils take turns to tell each other where their objects are and to draw them in Activity 3.

• If pupils had time to colour, they can also tell their partner what colour the objects are, e.g. The sofa’s green.


• Hand out copies of Photocopiable activity 3 (page T92), one for each pair of pupils. Pupils cut out the word cards.

• Pupils work in their pairs. Pupil A matches an activity card with a day / time card, e.g. play football with in the morning. He / She asks a question using these phrases, e.g. Do you play football in the morning? Pupil B answers, e.g. I sometimes play football in the morning. If the two pupils agree, they make a sentence using the word cards, e.g. We sometimes play football in the morning and put it to one side. Monitor and check pupils are forming the sentences correctly.

• The activity continues until pairs of pupils have made several sentences or until a certain time has elapsed. Pupils then

copy the sentences into their notebooks.

• Elicit sentences from different pairs.

Photocopiable activity 4a (Unit 4 page 39)

• Hand out copies of Photocopiable activity 4a (page T93), one for each pupil. They cut out the cards. They colour one small part of each card so they know which are theirs after the game.

• Hold up each card in turn and elicit a sentence, e.g. dirty shoes – You must clean your shoes. Example responses:

untidy bed – You must tidy your bedroom. / You must make your bed.

hungry dog – You must feed the dog.

untidy desk – You must tidy your desk.

long hair – You must go to the hairdresser’s. / You must cut your hair.

pile of letters – You must read / answer your letters.

dirty plates – You must do the washing up.

jacket on the ground – You must pick up / wear your jacket.

TV – You can watch TV.

park gates – You can go to the park.

ice cream – You can eat some ice cream.

cinema – You can go to the cinema.

• Pupils play in pairs. They put their cards face down on the table and mix them around. They take turns to turn over two cards and provide the response for both. If the cards are the same, they keep them. If not, they turn them face down again. At the end, the pupil with the most pairs is the winner. Pupils put their cards in envelopes for another lesson.

Photocopiable activity 4b (Unit 4 page 40)Note: Instructions for this activity also appear on page T40 (Activity 12).

• Review the use and meaning of must. Elicit some of the school rules from the previous lesson. Focus pupils on Pupil’s Book page 40, Activity 12 and on the activity instructions. Ask two pupils to read the speech bubbles aloud. Ask Can Vicky and Sam play tennis on Friday? Elicit No, they can’t. (Sam must go to the doctor.) Say You must ask more questions to � nd a day when Vicky and Sam can play together. Check understanding.

• Divide the class into pairs (A and B). Hand out one part of Photocopiable activity 4b (page T94) to each pupil in the pair (Vicky’s diary to Pupil A and Sam’s diary to Pupil B). Ask questions about the two diaries, to check pupils understand what the notes mean and encourage them to give reasons, e.g. Can Sam play tennis on Saturday? (Yes, he can.) Can Vicky play tennis on Saturday? (No. She must go to her grandma’s house.). Say They can’t play tennis on Saturday. You must � nd a different day.

• Pupils take turns to ask and answer about the two children’s diaries, following the model on the Pupil’s Book page, and � nd a time when they can play tennis. Remind pupils not to look at each other’s diaries. Monitor and help / prompt. Encourage pupils to make full sentences when they reply. Set a time limit for this part of the activity, e.g. � ve minutes.

• Elicit the answer (Thursday).

• Hand out a copy of Photocopiable activity 5 (page T95) to each pupil. They cut out the cards. Pupils make a dot or similar on the cards, so they can identify their own set of cards at the end of the game.

• Demonstrate the game. Elicit that the cards with words on are different shapes. Tell pupils that the square cards are ‘illness’ cards. Turn over a square card. Say a sentence to go with the picture on the card, e.g. I’ve got a cough. A pupil turns over a triangular ‘word’ card. He / She makes a sentence using the prompt word on the triangular card, e.g. can – You can watch TV. Check the example for can / can’t is for permission not ability. Keep the illness card and the word card. Repeat, with the pupil taking a square card and you taking a triangular card.

• Pupils play the game in pairs. They put all their cards face down on their desks and take turns to start. Monitor and help.

• At the end of the game, elicit some of the pupils’ sentences. Pupils put their cards into an envelope for use in another lesson.


• Show pupils your � nished dice (with an adjective written on each face). Hand out a copy of Photocopiable activity 6 (page T96) to each pupil. Check they understand where to cut before handing out the scissors. Pupils cut out their dice template.

• Individual pupils choose any six adjectives from the lesson (brainstorm them on the board if necessary) and write one clearly on each face of their dice. They can decorate the faces.

• Hand out the glue and show pupils step by step how to make the dice. Pupils copy you and make the dice.

• Pupils work in pairs. They throw their two dice. One pupil makes a sentence using both words on the dice. The other pupil writes it down. They throw the two dice again and pupils reverse roles. Pairs swap papers with other pairs and correct their sentences. They award one point for a semantically correct sentence (spelling slips don’t count against them). Congratulate pairs with the most points.

Photocopiable activity 7 (Unit 7 page 68)Note: Instructions for this activity also appear on page T68 (Activity 13)

• Demonstrate the activity, using Parts A and B of Photocopiable activity 7 (page T97). Show pupils the two texts and tell them that they have different information. Invite a pupil to the front and give him / her Part A. Read the � rst part of B (Hippos and) and wait for the pupil to read out the next part of the text from his / her copy (elephants are both). Show pupils how to write this part of the text into the gap on your copy of part B.

• Hand out a copy of Photocopiable activity 7 to each pair: part A to one pupil and part B to another. Check pupils know what to do (take turns to read out the missing text on each other’s papers and write down the phrases so they both have a complete version). Remind them not to look at each other’s paper. The � rst time, they read the whole text aloud, taking turns to say the words from the sheet. The second time, they each write the missing words on their copy. Monitor and help.

• Pupils look at each other’s papers to check.

Key:

Hippos and elephants Hippos and elephants are both very big and very heavy.

They are both grey, have got four legs and big heads. They can swim and they can run, but they can’t jump. Hippos and elephants eat a lot of grass and plants. Elephants eat their food in the day, but hippos like to eat at night. In the day they swim in rivers and lakes.

There are two different kinds of elephant, the African elephant and the Asian elephant. African elephants are bigger than Asian elephants and have got bigger ears. Hippos live in Africa. They run faster than elephants and faster than humans too!


• Elicit the weather words from pupils using the � ashcards.

• Hand out a copy of Photocopiable activity 8 (page T98) to each pupil. Elicit the names of the different features in the large picture of the landscape (city, mountains, river, lake, forest, � elds, island). Pupils all colour the weather symbol cards at the bottom of the page and cut them out. Hand out the sticky tack.

• Pupils work in pairs. It’s best if they put a bag or large book upright between them so they can’t see each other’s pictures. Pupil A secretly sticks the weather symbols where they want on the large picture on Photocopiable activity 8 using the sticky tack. Pupil B asks questions e.g. What’s the weather like in the mountains? and sticks the appropriate weather symbols in the same place on his / her picture. Monitor and check that pupils are not looking at each other’s pictures. When they have � nished, they compare pictures. They take the weather symbols off and repeat, this time with Pupil B sticking the symbols and Pupil A asking.
