Lesson by Lucy Schmidt

Learning Intentions: 

  • To learn and name parts of the body in Welsh.

Step 1: Activity overview for parent, carers and pupils

In this task pupils will learn the different names of the body in Welsh. They will watch a 2 minute video clip which will introduce them to the vocabulary. Pupils will then practice the new vocabulary by singing the song ‘Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes’ in Welsh.

Step 2: Introduction to the activity and additional information

Shwmae. In this lesson we’ll be learning parts of the body in Welsh. You may already know some. Our first task is to practise the language you’ll need to complete your challenge. The video will introduce the vocabulary. Pause the video when asked to practise the phrases. Pob lwc! Good luck!

 

Step 3: Tasks to carry out for this activity

  • Take a look at the challenge card below.
  • Watch the clip below and join in with Seimon. Don’t forget to say the parts of the body out loud and use some actions too. Remember that you can change the speed of any YouTube video by clicking on the settings cog on the bottom right of the playback window and changing the ‘playback speed’. You could start off slower in order to practise singing in Welsh. When you have practised a few times and you can sing the song confidently, record a short video of yourself to show your teacher.
  • Use the lyrics sheet to help you with the words.

Once you have completed the task you can email anything you create (photos, documents, screenshots etc.) directly to your teacher or directly upload it to any of the available places in Step 6.

 

Step 4: Look over the success criteria for this activity:

Success criteria #1:  I can name parts of the body in Welsh.

Success criteria #2:  I can pronounce the words correctly.

Success criteria #3:  I can sing ‘Pen, Ysgwyddau, Coesau, Traed‘ in Welsh.

Look at the learning intentions ‘how well do you think you have done?’

Step 5: Extension and follow on activities/challenges (optional)

How about learning another Welsh song? Seimon has several Welsh songs on his YouTube channel. How about learning ‘Un bys, dau fys”?
