Friday French (26th February)

Friday French
Bonjour! C'est Madame Hebblewhite!
This week, we will focus on the topic of Animals.
Class 2
(Reception can have a go at joining in with the videos)
Here is a short video to learn the names of 8 farm animals. There is a little quiz at the end of the video.
Watch the first part at least twice before you try the quiz.
To help you remember the animal names,
try to think of an English word that rhymes with each one.
Sometimes I make up a silly rhyme, to help me remember,
like 'There once was 'une vache', who fell in his mash'!
Here is 'Old MacDonald Had A Farm' in French.

After you have listened, there is a worksheet below that you can print out, to write your own version in French.
Here are the spellings for the farm animals you have learnt
in French today, to add to your song
(or you can use a dictionary to find some other animal words):
une vache, un chien, une poule, un dindon, un chat, un canard,
un mouton, un cochon, un cheval, un âne, un coq, un poussin.

Here is another animal song that I think you will enjoy. It's called 'Un éléphant, qui se balançait'. If you listen to it a second time, perhaps you could join in with the numbers and the word 'éléphant'.

Class 3
This week we are going to focus on the topic of animals. We are going to make our own 'Top Trumps' cards in French.
First, we need to learn the names of some Jungle animals.
Watch this clip twice. Repeat the words as you hear them.
See how many animal words you can remember afterwards.

Below is an 'I Spy and Count' sheet. Count the animals.
Can you work out which number
below the picture matches with which animal?
You'll need to do a bit of guess work in French and a bit of translation!
I have put them in small groups, to make it easier for you.
---------------------------------------------
dix cinq neuf
le gorille l'iguane le paresseux
-------------------------------------------
quatre sept treize
le tigre le papillon le perroquet
-------------------------------------------
seize onze dix-huit un
le fourmis le python le panda l'orang-outan
----------------------------------------------
Now that we have learnt some animal words, we are ready to make our own Top Trumps Cards. You will need a normal sized (A4) piece of paper. To make a really good game, use two pieces of paper.
First, take a look at these....
We don't know the actual weight/height/speed etc of each animal, so let's do some guess work and give them a score out of 10
for each of these headings:
In English: speed, weight, length, life-span, affection, danger
In French: vitesse, poids, longueur, longévité, tendresse, danger
Fold your A4 paper 3 times, to create 8 small rectangles. Choose 3 or four of the headings to write on each card, along with the animal name in French and your marks out of ten. You could even draw a sketch of the animal on your cards....but NO ENGLISH PLEASE!!!
I would love to see your cards when they are finished.

And finally....
Here is a link to an online game to practise the fruit words you learnt:

Below are the answers to the questions higher up.

Here is a link to some online games, to practise reading words for pets.

As an extra, have a go at some of Class 3's puzzles, about Jungle animals.
And if you want a bit of a challenge, perhaps you'd like to have a go at these questions, based on these French Top Trumps cards below. It would be useful to have a dictionary at hand, but you should be able to figure out the answers by looking at the unit of measurement
on the cards (e.g. kg, km/h).
1. Which animal is more intelligent?
2. Which is the heaviest?
3. Which lives the longest on average?
4. Which is the most affectionate?
5. Which has the best score for 'Popularity'?
Bonne chance et bon weekend!
