Why this why now

Pupils reactivate a wide range of grammar as they discuss regular routines at school and at home. Present and perfect tense are reactivated in discussing journeys to and from school. Knowledge of prepositions and their da- and wo- compounds is consolidated and extended with additional dual-case prepositions hinter, neben, unter, über, vor and zwischen. In discussing routines after school, pupils learn to use 'nachdem' and 'bevor' with clauses and revise word order to enrich their description and narration. Reflexive verbs are revisited in arranging to meet up with friends.

Prior knowledge requirements

  • Pupils know the perfect tense of movement and change of state verbs taking 'sein'.
  • Pupils know the prepositions 'in', 'an, and 'auf' with either accusative or dative for movement or location.
  • Pupils know the contracted form of some prepositions depending on case (for example ins/im, zur/zum'
  • Pupils know reflexive verbs in present and past (perfect) tenses.
  • Pupils know a range of prepositions taking the dative case, for example aus, nach, von, zu
