    Introduction

    Ricky the Robot B Sample Material Pearson Educacin, S.A.

    Ricky the Robot

    General description of the courseRicky the Robot is an English course for three to veyear-olds in preschool education.

    The course has been specically designed to incorporatethe general objectives of the LOE framework for pre-school education (second cycle); it also contributes todeveloping the basic competences. The opportunitiesand challenges of introducing foreign language learningto this age group have been equally considered.

    In order to make teaching and learning for teacher andpupil respectively as globalised as possible, the course

    has a similar structure to other materials used inpreschool education; a pupil booklet for each term (seeComponents section).

    The attractive and motivating characters and theelaborate selection of components motivate teachersand pupils, as well as involving parents in their childslearning.

    Objectives

    Ricky the Robot will:

    develop the condence to understand and use Englishin contexts that are meaningful to the pupils lives.

    develop a positive attitude to the English languageand help pupils associate language learning withenjoyment, communication and representation.

    develop skills that benet pupils throughout thecurriculum in line with the wider preschool (EducacinInantil) curriculum and prepare them for thechallenges of their primary education.

    Characters

    Ricky is a cute but cheeky robot. He is friends with

    two human characters, Toby and Kim. Ricky is fun.He delights the children by doing funny things suchas walking through walls and changing shape. Rickyssense of humour will reduce childrens anxietyand will create a relaxed, fun and happy classroomenvironment.

    Toby and Kim introduce Ricky to the human world. Heis taken to school, the zoo and on lots of adventureswith them. Ricky has a hologram which he uses toshow what he is thinking. Your pupils will help Ricky tolearn English and this will increase their self-esteemand self-condence.

    Every page of the Big Books and Readers includes atiny teddy bear hiding behind objects. The children will

    enjoy looking for the teddies, and doing so will helpthem to focus in on the detail of the pictures. Find thehidden object is a very successful feature of many pre-school educational materials.

    Methodology

    New vocabulary is introduced using the Ricky theRobotsot toy. Ricky provides a meaningful context tolearn the vocabulary, as each new word and languageitem needs to be explained to him. Soft toys are veryreal to young children and give them support andcomfort. We know that children often nd it easier to

    express themselves with the aid of a soft toy. In level A four new words are introduced in each unit,

    as well as two new words for each festival. In levelsB and C, pupils will learn six new words in each unitand a simple language structure. All new vocabularyis recycled and revised throughout the course.

    In levels B and C, the optional Activity Book expandspupils language with three new words in each unit,and reinforces the vocabulary introduced in thePupils Book. In level C the Activity Book also workson identifying the new words taught in each unit andtracing them at the end of the course.

    Each unit has been made up of language the pupilwill be able to understand, but wont be expected toreproduce. Pupils will develop the ability to listen andextract meaning without understanding every word.All language is rst practised receptively throughlistening and doing, e.g. pointing at the word beforereproducing it.

    Ricky the Robot is story-based. Children love stories;they ignite the imagination and break down barriersto learning. Ricky the Robot is also topic based. Eachunit is arranged around a different topic, for example,

    my school, my family, at the park, food, etc. Thisallows new words to be arranged into lexical groupsmaking them easier to learn. Ricky the Robot is alsoactivity based. Learning is arranged around fun andinteractive activities, which include action games, TPRactivities and other quieter desk-based activities.

    Ricky the Robot incorporates a wide variety of activitytypes, allowing a motivating and productive use ofresources. The activities include: stories, songs,chants, games, puzzles, simple craft activities, TPRand drama. Worksheets include activities such astracing, colouring, matching, dening same and

    different, sequencing, number work, and pre-readingand pre-writing activities.

    Introduction

    Ricky the Robot B Sample Material Pearson Educacin, S.A.

    See the teachers notes on page 13 for more detailedinformation on this.

    Starting the lesson

    The children sing a very simple welcome song to Rickyand to each other, while miming being robots.

    Routines time

    The pupils stick the weather stickers on the Routinesposter.

    If its a pupils birthday, you can do the birthday routine.The class sing Happy Birthday and place a candlesticker on the birthday cake in the poster.

    Active time Pupils do a Warmeractivity. This activity tends to be a

    song they already know or an action game.

    There are also 2Active time activities that are usuallyplayed on the oor. These include vocabulary games,acting out a story, action games, songs and chants.

    Quiet time

    Before returning to their seats to start book work,a simple routine song is proposed to help calm thechildren down and prepare their minds for focussedwork involving ne motor skills.

    We know that certain activities can help the two partsof the brain to work together and encourage calmand concentration. In the Stand like a robot activity,the pupils must remain standing with their arms andlegs crossed over, until the teacher is happy they arestanding correctly and quietly. Only then can they sitdown. This activity resembles a game of statues.

    Book time

    When pupils are sitting quietly at their desks, they dothe worksheet and photocopiable activities.

    The worksheet number can be found in the bottomright corner of the page.

    Ending the lesson

    To promote the value of responsibility in the classroom,each lesson ends with the chant Tidy up time. Thechant reminds pupils to tidy up and clear away oncethey have nished the activity.

    Pupils then sing the Goodbye song and this marksthe end of the lesson, re-energising the body after thetime spent sat at their desks.

    Ricky the Robot and the preschoolcurriculum objectives

    The preschool curriculum for Spain advocates thefollowing areas for development.

    1 Self awareness and autonomy

    In Ricky the Robot, children learn to identify parts of

    the body and say what each is for. They also learn toname and explain the senses. The movement activitiespromote expression, coordination and control.

    They learn to describe themselves and describe others,in a way that is accepting and non-discriminatory.

    Games are used to promote social development andcooperation, and to promote the expression of thoughtsand feelings and respect for rules. These activities helpthe children to develop a positive self image.

    They learn to identify their needs and preferences andto respect those of others.

    The activities promote problem-solving skills, anunderstanding of the processes and planning to carryout a task and an understanding of the rhythms of lifeand daily routines.

    The activities promote the importance of hygiene,safety, good heath and emotional wellbeing.

    2 The outside world (physical, social and culturalenvironment)

    The stories in Ricky the Robot expose the childrento a wide variety of situations and dilemmas that are

    relevant and meaningful to their lives, principallyschool, family, friends and places of interest.

    The course includes topics that teach children aboutthe natural world, including the life of animals, naturalcycles (such as the seasons and times of day and theweather) and the origin of some foods.

    The activities in Ricky the Robot provide contextsfor important mathematical skills of sequencing,assessing similarities and differences, ordering,grouping and counting.

    Ricky the Robotaddresses the issue of cultural diversity.As Ricky is not human, the children empathise withhim and help him to understand the human society hends himself in. These skills promote the respect ofdifferent cultures and peoples differences generally.

    3 Development of language and communication skills

    All the activities in Ricky the Robot promote anddevelop the childrens language and communicationskills. Every lesson includes ample opportunities fororal expression and listening comprehension. This isthrough stories, songs, chants, word games, Listenand do and Listen and sayactivities.

    By learning English, and teaching English to Ricky, thechildren will understand the idea of different languages,which can be used in different situations and withdifferent people. This is an important characteristic ofan understanding of the diversity of our world.

    The movement activities found in every lesson promotethe use of the body as a means of communication. In

    the TPR activities, they relate meaning to action bycarrying out physical activities. Special kinesiologyexercises are also used as a transition marker toprepare the children for quiet book work.

    The songs and chants in every unit develop skills inmusic and rhythm as forms of communication. Thechildren develop singing skills and competence in theuse of a number of percussion instruments. They alsolearn to clap and mark rhythms.

    The craft activity in every unit promotes an appreciationof creative, artistic and technical skills, as well as anawareness of different materials and processes.

    The Ricky-Rom promotes condence in the use oftechnological communication.

    Ricky the Robot teaches the key pre-reading and pre-writing skills: ne motor development, left to rightprogression, sequencing, dening same and different,seeing what is missing, etc.

    4 Ricky the Robot and the basic competences

    Ricky the Robot also encompasses the key elements ofthe basic competences. It promotes a smooth transitionto primary education and continuity and consistency in

    methodology.

    Linguistic competence. All the activities in Rickythe Robot promote the use of English for effectivecommunication.

    Mathematical competence. In Ricky the Robotchildren will learn mathematical concepts throughEnglish language learning. They will learn to count,identify and trace numbers from 1 to 10 and recognisedifferent geometric shapes.

    Competence in knowledge and interaction withthe physical world. Children will use English to

    acknowledge and develop their understanding of theworld around them.

    Data processing and digital competence. Using theRicky-Rom at school as well as at home, will contributeto the development of pupils competence in the use ofdigital information.

    Interpersonal social and civil competence. Rickythe Robot promotes good manners and respect forothers. Children take part in group activities that workon social competences and interaction with others.Children develop compassion when they help Ricky tolearn about the human world. By learning a foreignlanguage, pupils develop their awareness of othercultures and languages.

    Cultural and artistic competence. All units developpupils competences in music, song and artistic

    expression through drawing, painting and craftactivities. The childrens interest in English literature

    will be stimulated by the Big Books, Readers and unitstories.

    Learning to learn. Ricky the Robot promotes thedelight of learning and discovering. Children do notonly learn to learn, but also share their discoveriesand skills with Ricky. This helps them to understandthe world around them.

    Autonomy and personal initiative. The lessonroutines in Ricky the Robot help pupils to anticipatewhat is expected of them autonomously. The activitiespromote independence in problem solving, and their

    ability to work in a group and express their ideas in aforeign language.

    The four language skills

    Listening

    Listening exercises build childrens condence in theirability to understand. They will enjoy listening andresponding to what they hear. Right from the beginningof level A, children will learn to develop this skill throughdifferent types of listening activities:

    Listening and responding to instructions in English. Story presentations

    Songs and chants

    Activities where the children Listen and do, includingmany TPR and action games.

    The course CDs, which include all language itemscovered in the book.

    Speaking

    Young children have the ability to learn and use manywords and language structures naturally through

    repetition and practise. Ricky the Robot introduceslanguage with motivating games and stories.

    The speaking of new language is approached chorallyrst as a whole class activity. This then progresses togroup repetition and then to individual work, usually ingroups at the front of the class.

    Reading

    The Big Books and Readers will teach the pre-readingskill of sequencing.

    The worksheet activities will help develop left to right

    reading progression.

    In the level C optional Activity Book, children areprovided with a lot of support to help them read andunderstand key vocabulary.

    Introduction

    Ricky the Robot B Sample Material Pearson Educacin, S.A.

    Classroom management

    Try to maintain a fun and motivating environment inthe classroom. If you are relaxed and have a calmapproach, the children will follow your example andmany learning barriers will be broken down. A happyand positive environment will encourage pupils to becreative and participate, as well as increase their desireto learn. Carrying out a task well is what motivatespupils most; try therefore to make pupils feel that theyhave worked well and always praise their efforts. Allthe children should be familiar with expressions suchas Good boy/girl; Good work; Well done! Excellent try!You did that very well, etc.

    The lessons are designed to be exible and you willneed to decide the best time to do certain activitiesdepending on your classroom atmosphere. If thechildren are restless and loosing concentration, it isadvisable to do an activity from the Quiet time sectionand go back to movement-based activities when theyhave calmed down. At other times, the atmospheremay be a bit slow and strained, particularly if thechildren are tired or inuenced by the weather outside.On these occasions, it is best to do more lively activitiessuch as songs, chants or drawing activities (from theExtra Activities section available in the teachers notes)if you feel it will improve the class atmosphere.

    Try to be positive and tactful when correcting pupilsmistakes. Avoid words like No and expressions likeThats wrong. These can create negative associationsto learning. As an alternative, you can say Good try! Tryagain until the pupil responds correctly.

    Remember that all pupils have different levels of self-condence. Some wont have any trouble standing andtalking in front of the class, while others will be moreshy and inhibited. Its possible that some pupils feelmore comfortable working in a group, and build theircondence bit by bit until they can speak individually.Avoid always asking questions to the more condentand extrovert children and try to include the quieterones.

    Establish clear and consistent rules so that thechildren know what to follow. Use hand gestures, forexample, point to your ear when you say Listen, placeyour index nger on your lips when you say Be quiet,and raise or lower your hand when you say Stand up orSit down (respectively). Praise pupils when they followthe rules.

    It is sometimes best to isolate more difcult childrenso that their non cooperative attitude does not wear off

    on their classmates. It is often enough to move themaway from their friends and place them close to you.If this isnt the case, think about asking the child to sitalone for a while in a special chair until they are readyto rejoin the class and be more cooperative. Always

    praise good behaviour: in this way you will avoid pupilsusing negative behaviour to gain your attention.

    Try to identify your pupils different learning styles.Some are audio learners and learn best from hearingthings. Others are visual learners and learn best fromseeing things. Others are kinaesthetic learners andlearn best through movement.

    Children generally learn best when all their sensesare activated: sight, sound, smell, touch and taste.Where possible, teachers are encouraged to makeuse of real objects, which the children can see, listento, smell and feel. The teachers notes provide moreinformation on learning styles.

    Your child will also learn to sing and do the actions for the unit song. Here are the words for the main song in

    Unit 2, Come to the farm. You can also practise the song with the song video.

    Come to the farm. Please come quickly.

    Come to the farm. It is lovely.

    See all the chickens on the farm. Cluck, cluck.
