1 Circle time andWeather routine

• If you have a routine clock, move the hand to ‘Circle time’ before the start of class.

• Start the class with the Circle time routine you have chosen to do with your class.

2 Song time: Sweater, jacket, socks and boots

• If you have a routine clock, move the hand to ‘Song time’ and tell the children that they are going to sing the song from the previous lesson.

• Put on the Tex apron with the Unit 4 clothes flashcards inside the pocket in a random order. Ask six children to come and stand at the front of class to help you.

• Take the flashcards out of the apron one by one, saying the word and encouraging the children to repeat. Give one flashcard to each of the children.

• Play Sweater, jacket, socks and boots through once and establish that the flashcards the children are holding are not in the correct order.

• Ask the class to tell you the order of the song. Write the numbers 1 to 6 on the board, high enough to be above the children’s heads and encourage the rest of the class to order the flashcards properly, e.g. One. Sweater. The child with that flashcard must move and stand under the number 1.

• Play the song again. The children holding the flashcards lift them when they hear their word. Encourage the rest of the class to sing along and either point to the correct flashcard or do the actions.

TEACHING TIP  If you feel your class require further practise of the Tex’s words language, there is an additional worksheet activity available on the Teacher’s Resource CD-ROM. See the Extra activities section for more information.

3 Game time: Say the number

• Move the hand on your Routine clock to ‘Game time’ and tell the children that they are going to play Say the number.

• Show the children the clothes flashcards and elicit the words. Display the flashcards, numbering them 1–6 using the number flashcards.

• Choose and say an item of clothing at random. The children must say what number it is. Repeat until all the parts of the face have been mentioned.

• Now reverse the game, saying a number and eliciting the vocabulary.

• Once the children are more confident with the

vocabulary, remove the numbers and say the colour of an item of clothing. The children must then say which item (or items) you are describing.

4 Story time with DVD

• If you have a routine clock, move the hand to ‘Story time’ and tell the children they are going to watch the story on DVD. Tell the class that it is important to watch the story carefully because they are going to act it out afterwards.

• Play the story on the DVD.

5 Table time with puppets and pop-outs

• If you have a routine clock, move the hand to ‘Table time’. Play the Table time rhyme, motioning for the children to go back to their tables.

• Choose four children to be the characters in the story and give them each a puppet or the Tex apron.

• Using the storycards, read each scene in turn, encouraging your chosen characters to act as you read out the lines. The rest of the class should follow the story, dressing Dizzy as they hear each item of clothing mentioned.

TEACHING TIP  To help the child with the Dizzy puppet exploit the clothes vocabulary, you could display the clothes flashcards on the board for them to point at during the story.

• After Table time, encourage the children to tidy up by singing or playing the Tidy up time song while they put away their pop-outs.

6 Goodbye

• If you have a routine clock, move the hand to ‘Goodbye’.

• Sing the Goodbye song. Have the puppets wave goodbye as you put them away.
