ENGLISH UNIT 6: A LONG TIME AGO

Dear Parents,

Your child is about to start Unit 6. The main topic of this unit is the prehistoric past. In the unit your child will learn how to talk about what prehistoric people and animals looked like and what they could do. He/she will also talk about some objects used in prehistory. He/She will be introduced to this language through episode 6 of the exciting adventure story A walk with dinosaurs, a song and a grammar rap: I went to a museum.

In Unit 6 your child will learn about fossils, dinosaurs and Neanderthal man. Your child will complete his/her own ‘My Little Fact File of Neanderthals’ to reinforce this learning. Your child will also learn about prehistoric places in Britain and play a game to practise saying large numbers.

In this unit your child will have the opportunity to read and write questions and answers about prehistoric people, animals and fossils. Your child will also read short texts about dinosaurs and fossils and write a short text about a trip to a museum, following a model.

Mrs. Eva.
