Material A copy of Worksheet No. 16 B for each child

Procedure

Your final lesson should (as always!) be an enjoyable one that leaves your pupils with the desire tocontinue foreign language learning and with a feeling of success and achievement. This lesson can takemany forms and here are just a few suggestions which will depend on many factors. Discuss your plansfirst with the class teacher.

A class party Bring some music from your country and some things to eat (British biscuits, Americancookies, etc). Children choose their favourite activities and songs to do and sing.

A class presentation This could feature the class's favourite songs, rhymes, games, or acting out of astory. If possible, invite parents and children from other classes. Children could design and write aninvitation beforehand for this. (See worksheet No.16 B for an example. Here the children complete thename of their class, write the name of the people invited, the event, e.g. party, presentation, play, openday, date and time. They could also decorate the invitation with flags, English words, etc. Explain theuse of RSVP on invitations in English).

A class open day Again this could feature the class's favourite activities (as above) as well as displays oftheir work, favourite storybooks, exhibitions (English-speaking countries, English words everywhere, Mypersonal notebook, etc.) to which parents and other classes are invited.

All of the above could also include a class awards ceremony at which each child is awarded a certificatesigned by you (see worksheet No.16 B for an example. Write in date, name of pupil and your name.).Ask each child to come to the front of the class to collect their certificate and to say Thank you + yourname with the rest of the class applauding.You may also like to spend some time reviewing work done:displays, exhibitions, songs, activities, asking pupils to tell you their favourites and what they have learnt.Make sure pupils are given all their work and especially their personal notebooks as a record of their timelearning English with you.

Song

Goodbye (Peter), Goodbye (Anne)Goodbye (William). It's time for me to go home!
