Description

In this unit pupils use previously taught and newly learnt forms of ‘tener’ in the contexts of school, home and physical description. They synthesise familiar and new language for the purpose of describing a friend. For this they learn new carefully selected high frequency vocabulary.

This unit first anchors pupils’ knowledge of singular forms of ‘tener’ to have, before introducing plural first and third persons ‘tenemos’ and ‘tienen’. New nouns, adjectives and adverbs are introduced, alongside familiar vocabulary, as revisiting previously taught phonics, vocabulary and grammar is pivotal to retaining and using them confidently in spoken and written communication. Soft ‘c’ sounds are revisited before introducing the new sound-spelling correspondence ch. Towards the end of the unit, language is brought together in extended production in a new context; describing a friend.
