Fast-finishers activity:

• Drawing a monster on a paper by using shapes and colours.

• Learning objectives: -To draw a monster by using basic shapes

(circle, square, triangle and rectangle) -To describe the monster using the

vocabulary they already know (shapes and colours)

Reflections:• Children got excited because they noticed they

knew the colours in English (revision)• They loved doing an online activity on the smart

board (smth new for them and occasional)• They got overexcited when doing the online

activity because they realised they were managing pretty well

• They followed the instructions correctly when doing the Shapes & Colour Dictation (assessment)

Changes??

• Of course, there can be changes…

since there were no fast-finishers, I would use the ‘Drawing monster’ activity in the next lesson to revise what they have learnt and to foster the new vocabulary.
