Pupils needing extra support: can focus on listening to the teacher and/or their peers using the correct adjectival agreement and the change in pronunciation. They can then repeat each sentence until confident to respond independently.

Pupils working at greater depth:  challenge them to ‘be the teacher’ by using il/elle est heureux/heureuse/sérieux/sérieuse – he/she is happy/serious and challenging their partner to state whether they are correct or incorrect by using vrai or faux (true or false). They then can verify their partner’s response.

• Have a look at famous portraits and sculptures, either from the Louvre website on link: 'The Louvre' or another gallery or a book,  and discuss whether the subject matter is heureux/heureuse or sérieux/sérieuse.
• Ask the children to research some key facts about the Louvre or to research the Mona Lisa or another painting by Leonardo da Vinci.
• As a class, create a word bank of words that contain the letter string eau (for example, le bateau, le gâteau, le tableau, beau, l’eau, le château, le plateau, le chapeau) – the children could use their bilingual dictionary skills to look up the meaning and the gender, and practice the eau sound.
