it is.
Multiple intelligences:

- Visual intelligence
- Spatial intelligence: when doing the crafts and guessing which shape
are they touching inside the box.
Materials and resources:
- Wooden shapes
- Box
- Puppets
- Board and chalks
- Buses or trains done with different materials

3. - Tempera
- Tennis ball
Possible contingencies:
- Children not engaged with the activities
- Children talking while the teacher needs to explain what to do
- Children who do not understand the activities
- Children refusing to sit down to work with the photocopies
- Children complaining because they are tired or bored
- Children getting distracted during story time
Classroom management strategies:
- Give clear and concise instructions.
- Use songs they already know to make them calm down and settle
in.
- Be positive and congratulate good behavior, by saying for example:
“Very good xxx!”. This makes other children imitate good attitude.
- Ask questions to the children who get distracted during the
activities.
- Tell the students who finish very quickly to read a book in silence,
in the place near the bookshelf.
- Use body and face gestures to engage them with what´s going on.
Assessment: collecting information and reporting your findings
- Walk around asking questions
- Observe the children working
- Check if the children use the new vocabulary while working with
their classmates
Lesson stages:
Routine

4. - Purpose: to make the children settle and calm down
- Timing: 5 minutes
- Activity description and instructions as they will be said to students:
1. “Everybody let’s make a circle, let’s make a circle, let’s make a
circle; everybody let’s make a circle, one, two, three, four five…”
2. Sing “Hello to everyone, and how are you today? Welcome to our
circle time to sing and laugh and play. And when you are up, you
are up, and when you are down you are down, and when you are
half way up you are neither up nor down. So, roll your hands so
slowly, roll them up so fast, give a little clap clap clap, and cross
them on your lap lap lap lap”, same as in lesson 1, 2 and 3, since
they are still learning it.
3. I´m going to ask 3 or 4 children “how are you feeling today?”.
They are going to answer in both L1 and L2, according to what
they need to say and if they know how to say it in L2 or not. I will
roll the tennis ball to mark whose turn is it to talk (they already
know how this works, we´ve done it in lesson 1, 2 and 3).
Lead-in
- Purpose: to continue working with the children some new vocabulary
related to shapes through an experimental and funny activity.
- Timing: 10/15 minutes
- Activity description and instructions as they will be said to students:
1. Sing a song they already know to make them settle down. When
they are ready and in silence, I will tell them: “okay! Look at that!
Who is coming?”. Here I´ll put the mice that we have used the
first lesson inside a wooden train, as if it were coming from far
away to visit us again. “Do you remember the shapes mouse?”
2. “Today we are going to play a game with the mouse! Look at this
box, it´s called the magic box. Do you want to know what´s inside
it? Let´s try! Who wants to come to the front and try it? Somebody

5. who is sitting properly, with the legs crossed...”
I will put inside this magic box a lot of different shapes and they are going
to take them, without looking, and before they can see them they have to
guess which shape it is only by touching them.

6. - Scaffolding strategies:
a. I´m going to ask the children: “which is this shape?” and they are
expected to answer, for example, “a circle!”.
b. I´m also going to ask questions like: “which shape do you think
you have in your hand?”, “what color are these circles?” “
- Transition comment: “Now we are going to do a wonderful activity!
Are you ready?”.
Presentation
- Purpose: explain to the children what they must do.
- Timing: 5 minutes
- Activity description and instructions as they will be said to students:
1. I am going to draw different means of transportation on the board
using shapes and they have to guess which one is it while I draw.
For example, I am going to draw a train, starting with the main
rectangle, and they have to guess.
2. I will ask: “Which transport is it?” “which is this shape?” and choose

7. a boy or a girl to answer, and count the points on the board.
- Scaffolding strategies:
Do the activity once as an example, without counting the points.
- Transition comment: “Now everybody go to your places!”
Development of the sequence of activities
- Purpose: let the children explore and incorporate the new vocabulary
by finishing an artwork all together.
- Timing: 10/15 minutes
- Activity description and instructions as they will be said to students:
a. Okay! Now I am going to give you these lovely trains or buses that
I´ve done in my house and you will have to decorate them in groups.
We are going to use tempera and we are going to work in our places.

8. (I will prepare the transports this weekend, so I don’t have the
pictures yet. These are some examples I will follow)
b. I am going to ask some questions like: “can we put a looooot of
tempera?” to check if they know how to work with these materials.
c. I´m going to show them how to do it, and while I paint the different
parts of the bus, for example, I´m going to ask: which shape is this,
the main body of the bus? They are expected to answer: a rectangle”.
- Scaffolding strategies:
1. Showing them one piece of art almost finished so that they can
follow as an example
2. Paint with tempera one train or bus so that they understand how
to do it
Closure
- Purpose: close the activity, clean up and tidy up the classroom.
- Timing: 5 minutes
- Activity description and instructions as they will be said to students:
1. I will sing “K5, PUT AWAY!”
2. To motivate them to clean up and put away i´m also going to sing:

9. “Congratulations congratulations to PEPITO, because he´s
putting, away… paparaba”. (They already know this song and they
love it)
3. Finally, they are going to the toilette to wash their hand and get
ready to have their snack.
Each activity must be described in terms of the following components:
 Purpose
 Timing
 Activity description and instructions as they will be said to
students (include direct speech)
 Scaffolding strategies
 Transition comment to link each stage of the lesson with the next one
