Booklet 4: Half-Term 6 (lessons 7 - 14)
Retrieval &
recall
This booklet covers content for the final 4 weeks of this half-term.
Answers & instructions for all tasks are provided.
Revision:
The purpose of this booklet is to revisit the topics we have studied over the course of this
academic year. However, this time, you will not be using the Subject Knowledge Organisers
or Sentence Builders. The aim of this booklet is for you to develop your RECALL and
RETRIEVAL skills through revisiting activities and work you completed throughout the year
(i.e. are you able to complete activities based on what you can remember from the topics?)
This is an important skill when learning a language, and will help you in your future study!
This booklet is not a test, but you are testing yourself on what you have studied this year. If
you find that you are struggling, you are able to revisit your Subject Knowledge Organisers
and Sentence Builders, but this should only be a last resort!
The topics we will revisit this half-term are:
• Free time activities
• School
• Physical & personality descriptions
• Town
• Family & personal information
Towards the end of this half-term, you will also complete some pre-loading work, to prepare
yourself for the first topic in Year 8. This will be based on the topic of “holidays”.
Answers will also be provided so that you are able to mark your work and check your
progress. If a task has no answer, this means that there are any number of possible
answers to the task – all of which would be correct.
Before completing the main tasks below, make sure you have practised the
vocabulary and structures from your Subject Knowledge Organisers. I
suggest doing this through Quizlet (see previous booklets for the links/QR
codes). Alternatively, create your own flashcards or mind-maps to aid
revision.
Lesson 7 – School Objective: Can I retrieve key information to describe my school & my studies? IN&ON: Choosing a word from each box, write 5 correct sentences in Spanish. As extension, then translate these into English. Task 1: Listen to the audio (also available on ClassCharts) and fill in the first and last missing letters to complete the words. You should play the recording at least twice. J_ _ai_ a_ _ollèg_ ‘_astric_ _ig_ _choo_’. J_ _ens_ _u_ _o_ _ollèg_ _s_ _rè_ _ntéressan_ e_ _oder_. A_ _ollèg_, _’étudi_ _e_ _cience_, _e_ _ath_ e_ _’anglai_ _ou_ _e_ _our_. _uss_, _e_ _mi_ e_ _o_ _tudion_ _’espagno_, l_ _usiqu_ e_ _’histoir_. _’aim_ _e_ _cience_ _arc_ _u_ _o_ _rofesseu_ _s_ _ymp_. _ai_ j_ _étest_ _’anglai_ _arc_ _u_ _o_ _rofesseu_ _s_ _sse_ _évèr_. _o_ _ou_ _référ_ _s_ l_ _und_, _arc_ _u_ _’étudi_ _’informatiqu_, l_ _echnologi_ e_ l_ _éographi_. _endan_ l_ _écr_, j_ _ou_ a_ _oo_ _ve_ _e_ _mi_ e_ _uelquefoi_ j_ _ang_ u_ _andwic_. _’ador_ _o_ _ollèg_!
Task 2: Using the information below, spend 5 minutes making notes on forming present tense verbs in French. This recap will help you for your next tasks. Task 3: Using the previous tasks and your knowledge from previous lessons, translate the red words into French to complete the paragraph. As an extension, to practise key vocabulary, can you then translate the full text into English?
Task 4: Using the comic strip template below, describe your school. Include descriptions about your: teachers, subjects & facilities. Also include: opinions, connectives, intensifiers and (for challenge) times to describe when you do something at school.
Lesson 8 – Town Objective: Can I retrieve key information to describe my town? IN&ON: In French, using the prompt words given, describe what you can see in the picture. Task 1: Before practising how to tell the time in French. How many numbers 1-25 can you remember? 1= 6= 11 = 16 = 21 = 2= 7= 12 = 17 = 22 = 3= 8= 13 = 18 = 23 = 4= 9= 14 = 19 = 24 = 5= 10 = 15 = 20 = 25 = Task 2: Spend 5 minutes making notes on the key vocabulary related to telling the time. You use ‘son las’ followed by the hour you need:
To say half past you add et demie to the end of the time phrase.
• Il est une heure et demie - It's half past one
• Il est cinq heures et demie - It's half past five
And for quarter past you add et quart.
• Il est deux heures et quart - It's quarter past two
• Il est quatre heures et quart - It's quarter past four
To say quarter to or minutes to you use moins le quart (minus a quarter) or
moins ‘dix’ (minus a certain number of minutes).
• Il est deux heures moins le quart - It's quarter to two (literally, it's
two minus a quarter)
• Il est six heures moins dix - It's ten to six (literally, it's six minus
ten)
Task 3: Using the explanations above, write down, in French, the times shown by the 6
clocks.

Who likes going to the beach with their cousin? Task 5: Using the example below as a model, you are writing to your French pen-pal to describe what your town is like, as well as what you do in your free-time in town. You must describe: where your town is; its size & your opinion of it; what is & isn’t in your town; the activities you do and the times at which you do these. Par exemple: J’habite à Huddersfield – c’est une ville assez petite. J’adore ma ville parce que je pense que c’est jolie, et il y a beaucoup de choses à faire: il y a une piscine, un cinéma et un bowling. Mais il n’y a pas de stade. Le week-end, à midi, je fais du shopping avec mes amis. Aussi, chaque samedi, à dix heures et demie, je joue au foot avec mon frère.
