Description

This unit extends pupils’ knowledge of adjective agreement by reading and responding to the poem ‘Redondo’ by Gloria Fuertes. Pupils apply their knowledge of gender, nouns, definite articles and adjectives and, using reference resources, create their own poems. A range of key sounds are secured.

In this unit, pupils deepen their phonics, vocabulary and grammar knowledge by reading an authentic poem. This unit then teaches pupils how to use reference resources, which is gateway knowledge to enable pupils to personalise their responses. Pupils find new nouns and apply their knowledge of gender to use the new nouns with correct determiners and adjective forms. Pupils then develop their knowledge further by writing their own poems, inspired by the original. To extend and strengthen phonics knowledge, ‘g’ is added to e, i, alongside ‘j’, and hard and soft ‘g’ sounds are contrasted.

  1. Poem: Redondo (Gloria Fuertes)
  2. Poem: my round things 'el' and 'la' meaning 'the'

  • Pupils know that nouns have grammatical gender and are either masculine or feminine.
  • Pupils know the singular definite articles 'el' and 'la' meaning 'the'.
  • Pupils know that adjectives change spelling at the end to match the gender of the noun they describe.
  • Pupils know that many adjectives follow the noun in Spanish.
