Why this why now
In this unit, pupils learn 'voy', 'vas', 'va', and 'vamos' from 'ir' meaning 'to go'. They learn they can combine these forms with 'a' and an infinitive to express the future. In other units, pupils will learn other forms of the verb 'ir', and other ways to express the future. Pupils learn that 'a' works in a similar way to 'de' and can be combined with 'el' to form 'al', which is contrasted with 'a la'. Pupils revisit key grammar and vocabulary, and expand their personal repertoire working with the poem 'La Playa' by Juan Guinea Díaz. Pupils revisit key sounds v, b, rr, r, silent h.
