Description

In this unit, 'son' is introduced and contrasted with 'es'. Pupils add -s to adjectives for the plural form. They learn singular definite articles 'el' and 'la' and that these reflect the gender of all nouns. Plural 'los' and 'las' are also introduced. Key sounds learnt are ga, go, gu, ge, gi and j.

This unit anchors pupils' prior knowledge of the third person of 'ser' 'es', and then teaches the third person plural form 'son'. Pupils increase their knowledge of plurals by adding -s to adjectives. Building on their knowledge of determiners, pupils learn definite articles 'el', 'la', 'los' and 'las' and their relation to gender, and form short sentences using nouns, determiners and 'es' or 'son'. Hard g is added to a, o, u and soft g is added to e and i to build on prior phonics knowledge, and j is taught.
