Page 6 Before doing the activities in the book, greet pupils with the rhyme you have already used in previous lessons, and which could become the theme song for opening each lesson. Hello, hello, how are you, I’m so happy to see you! Pupils can recite the rhyme in pairs to their friends.
Key competences: Collaborating and participating Pupils maintain positive relationships with classmates.
4 Colour, trace and read. Show pupils page 6 on the IWB, or hold up the book for everyone to see, and say: Open your book at page 6. Go around the class, helping pupils to open their books at the correct page if necessary. Before starting the activity, quickly revise the numbers and colours, asking questions like: What colour is number 2? What colour is number 8? Elicit pupils’ replies.

Repeat this procedure for all the colours. When you think pupils are ready, you can progress by introducing the questions: How many blue flowers are there? How many red flowers are there? Elicit replies from pupils showing the line of flowers and counting with them either on the IWB or in the book. Now invite the whole class to do the activity, only colouring in the number of flowers indicated, then tracing the words and reading them intuitively. Hand out photocopiable worksheets n. 3 as reinforcement for fast finishers.

To help pupils learn the colours, you can recite and mime this simple rhyme: One, two (counting on your fingers) hello to you (wave hello) three, four (counting on your fingers) close the door (mime closing the door) five, six, seven, eight (counting on your fingers) hurray, hurray (jump up with your arms in the air) nine, ten (counting on your fingers) hurray again! (jump up again)
