November Landscapes
In November, we learned about natural landscapes! I think this is an important topic for the students to know about and talk about in English because they will be traveling and want to understand the different landscapes they see. It is also helpful for when they progress into the older year groups and learn about how climate change is impacting their favourite landscapes!
After introducing the landscapes with some beautiful pictures and interacting verbally with the students, asking them if they prefer a mountain landscape or an ocean one, for example, we did some refresh games. This involved me running through the photos really quickly and the class had to shout out the correct landscape. They had to recognise the landscape really quickly, which was a good challenge and by the end, they seemed to recognise all the landscapes.
Next, I handed out photos of different landscapes on their tables. They had to pick one and describe the landscape to their partner. For example, 'there are trees on the left and water on the right'. They had to try and guess which landscape their partner was describing. If they got it right, they got to keep the picture. This worked really well as they got competitive and really listened to each other and asked questions in English.
Finally, we did a survey where the students asked each other 'What is your favourite landscape?' and recorded it on a survey sheet.
We also watched a short video with British landscapes and I would pause the video and ask the students what landscapes they could see.
They definitely like this topic and I think it is making them curious about exploring the world one day!
