UNIT 2 PEOPLE AND FOOD

Dear Parent,

Your child is working on unit 2. The main topic of this unit is food. In this unit your child will learn how to ask and talk about the food people like and don’t like. He/she will also ask and talk about sports and musical instruments people play.

This topic links new language to learning in other subjects. Your child is learning about the food pyramid and what you need to eat to stay healthy. Your child will complete his/her own ‘My Little Fact File of Food’ to reinforce this learning. Your child will also learn about children’s favourite food in Britain and play a game to practise specific English sounds.

In this unit your child will have the opportunity to read and write questions about what other people like and don’t like. Your child will also read short texts about the food pyramid and write a short text about his/her favourite food, following a model.

The interest and encouragement of a child’s family is very important when they are learning a language. You can support your child by finding a regular quiet time to look at your child’s English book/s and talk with him/her about what they are doing in the English class. You can also listen to the songs and stories from Footprints 3 together.

Thank you for your help in making your child’s early contact with English as enjoyable and successful as possible.

I upload some games to reinforce the content of this unit. I hope you like them!
