The Year 2/3 students have been learning how to describe themselves and others. First we needed to review how to say the colours, numbers and names of the parts of the body. Students enjoyed playing the ‘Swat’ game to do this. The interactive site Languages Online also help students with listening to, and understanding descriptions of people.

 

 

In the activity ‘Hor zu und mahl an’ students read as well as listened to, short descriptions of people and then added the missing features on to the people.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Students then created their own character portraits and wrote sentences to describe each character with a focus on using Er (he) or Sie (she).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The elimination card game ‘Who am I’ also helped us to practise asking simple questions in German.
