This lesson plan is for a 45-minute English class for 6-7 year old students focusing on farm animals, colors, and numbers up to 10. The lesson will include singing hello and bye songs, counting farm animals and stating their colors, playing a bingo game to review vocabulary, and completing a farm poster by stating animal names and placing pictures in the correct pens. The teacher will use scaffolding strategies like repetition and modeling to support student understanding and participation. Assessment will be done through observation of students' ability to use the taught vocabulary in activities.

Clase Nº: 4
Fecha: 31/10/2019
Hora: 09:45 a 10:30 am
Duración de la clase: 45 minutos
Fecha de entrega de la planificación: 05/11/19
Learning aims:
During this lesson, they will be able make a revision of all the
vocabulary learnt during the last three classes and apply it.
They will be able to put into practice the answer to the question: what
animal is this? It’s a… and what colour is the cow?
They will be able to play and use their spatial intelligence to place
images in a poster.
They will have to exercise their tolerance to frustration since there will
be a winner to the game.
Learning focus:
Vocabulary related to farm animals: cow, rooster, pig, horse, duck,
sheep.
Colours: pink, yellow, red, blue, white, black, brown.
Numbers up to ten.
Integration of skills:
 Speaking: students will try to communicate using the new words:
“It’s a pig”, “it’s a rooster”, and at the same time they will socialize
and discuss some items with their peers.
 Listening: students will start developing their listening skill since
they will have to pay very close attention to the teacher. The
teacher will scaffold them by repeating, miming and modeling as
many times as needed.

2. Multiple intelligences:
 Linguistic intelligence: students will need to express their ideas
to the teacher and to their mates. Students will have to count.
 Musical intelligence: students will sing to say hello and bye bye.
 Logical mathematical intelligence: students will be asked to count
a number of items.
 Spatial intelligence: students will be asked to place images in the
correct place.
Materials and resources:
 Hello song:

 Bye bye song:

 A home-made bingo. 1

The images on the boards are different from those on the bottle caps so the students have to
pay close attention to the images and they are able to associate them to the ones on the boards.
Although the images will vary, the animals will remain the same. This will be explained if it is
necessary.

3.  Poster to complete the farm:

4.  Posters with images of animals to count:
 Images for the children to stick on the farm poster:

5. Possible contingencies:
Students may ask the teacher to speak in Spanish, the strategy
will be to avoid as much as possible the usage of L1 and in the
case it is absolutely necessary, the teacher will translate into
Spanish and then repeat the instructions in English again.
One of the students tends to become bored easily, the teacher will
try to call his attention and keep him motivated by letting him
hand in the photocopies because he needs to move constantly.
As regards another of the students who has some diagnosed
learning issues, the practitioner teacher will ask the teacher of the
group to help this student if it is necessary.
Students may not remember the vocabulary so the teacher will
scaffold them by using images and repeating the first sound of the
words.
Classroom management strategies:

6.  Explain each activity as clearly as possible and make sure that
they understood by asking them and giving some time to process
the information.
 Use facial and body language to communicate with students in
order to reduce to the minimum the usage of the students’
mother tongue.
 Ask questions related to the topic to those students who seem
distracted in order to catch their attention.
 Foster motivation by offering the students the possibility to
express themselves and acknowledge their advances by giving
them positive reinforcements.
 Use encouraging words such as “great!”, “Wonderful!”
 Have a positive attitude towards the students and their reactions.
Assessment: collecting information and reporting your findings
The assessment will be performed through observation and record of
the output of the class. In other words, the teacher will observe if the
students are able to use the language that has been taught by offering
them a series of activities
Lesson stages:
Lead-in and presentation
Estimated time: 5 -10 minutes
To start with the class, the teacher will greet students with a simple
Hello song they have already listened to in the previous classes.
It is expected that children listen, repeat and dance as the teacher does
the same thing. When the song goes: How are you today? The teacher
will put her thumb up encouraging the students to do the same. The
song may be played twice so the children can listen to it again and get
ready to start with the English class.
After singing the “Hello” song, the teacher will first show the students a
set of posters on them, the students will find animals painted in
different colours, she will say: Well, remember that we have been
talking about Macdonald and his farm well, let’s now count how many
animals there are on his farm: “one duck... two ducks… three ducks…
four ducks!” (pointing at the images as she counts), “Great!” “and… what
colour are these ducks?”. Once the students have finished counting, the
teacher (or a student if one of them is willing to) will write the number
on the poster. Then, the teacher will continue: “Let’s count the…
(pointing at the image of the animal) sh… ee…ps” “One horse, two horse,

7. three horses…” And so on until they finish counting the animals on
three or four posters (depending on the students’ response).
Development of the sequence of activities
Estimated time: 20 minutes
Purpose: To revise the vocabulary learnt and the structures to use it:
It’s a horse, it’s brown. To revise numbers. To have fun while revising
vocabulary
Then, the teacher will tell students that they are going to play a game
that they already know: “It’s bingo time”2. She will hand in the bingo
boards in which the children will find images of the animals and the
numbers they have been working with in the classes. She will spin the
lottery drum and once the number/ animal comes out of the drum, she
will show it to the children and say: “It’s number…” encouraging the
students to finish the phrase. Or “it’s a…” (showing and pointing at the
animal) hoor…” and let the students finish the phrase. She will scaffold
students in this way until they are able to say the phrase on their own.
They will put a mark on the image if they have it in their boards. The
game will finish when one of the students is able to mark all the images
he/she has in his/her board. When this has happened, the teacher will
control the marks on the bingo board with the help of students. Once
this has been done, the teacher will proclaim the student winner.
Closure
Timing: 15 minutes
Purpose: To assess if the students remember all what has been taught
and to make them work on something that makes them feel relaxed.
To finish with the class, the teacher will invite the students to complete
the farm to decorate their classroom. “Let’s complete our own farm.”
The teacher will stick to the board a big piece of paper with the image of
a barn in it to simulate the farm, this paper will be divided into six
sections which will be the pens. Each pen will have the animal name in
it. The students will have to take an image from a bag, name the animal
(“it’s a pig”) and stick it in the correct place with the help of the teacher
who will guide students all the time: ok, it’s a pig. So, let´s stick it on the
pigs’ pen.

There will be no need to explain the game, since this is a resource that the children’s teacher
uses frequently.

8. Before the bell rings, the teacher will greet students with a bye bye
song.
