- Should focus on adding details to either the verb comer – to eat or dibujar – draw in the Main event, which can both be combined with a wide array of nouns.
- Could discuss and share nouns in English first and select just one or two to research in the dictionary and record on the group sheet.
Pupils working at greater depth:
- Should focus on adding detail to the verbs tocar – to play, ver – to watch and jugar – to play, during the Main event.
- Could extend their phrases expressing likes and dislikes using pero during the Wrapping up.
