Fish and Chips Make a Smoothie

Objective & content

A two-page printable that goes with the Fish and Chips episode Make a Smoothie: six numbered things (apple, banana, orange, pineapple, milk, smoothie) for pupils to find and label, then the picture to colour, with the teacher key on page two. By the end, pupils can name six fruits and drinks without a word bank.

Pedagogical guide

Six pins, not the usual ten to sixteen: the series teaches four to six words per episode and the sheet checks exactly those. Each thing is drawn once and whole, so every word has one answer. "Pineapple" is above A1 and is a declared exception for this episode; "smoothie" is the word the whole episode builds to, so it is drawn as a tall glass with a straw next to the milk bottle it is made with. Watch for "orange", the fruit here and not the colour, and "milk", which is never plural.

Suggested procedure

1. (3 min) Play the episode's test: point at a number and ask "What's this?"; pupils answer "Apple!", "Banana!"... like Chips.
2. (10 min) Hand out page 1. Pupils copy the right word from the word list onto each numbered line.
3. (5 min) Correct from page 2, thing by thing, saying each word aloud before writing it.
4. (10 min) Colouring.

Adaptations

[S] Do the pointing game first, then let pupils draw a line from each number to its word in the list instead of copying it.

[A] Fold the word list away: pupils write the words from memory, then check with a partner.

Materials & prerequisites

Page 1 printed for every pupil, plus coloured pencils. Keep page 2, the teacher key. Black and white printing is enough and is what the sheet is designed for.
