Grand+Monstre+Vert

In the autumn term of 2007, during a topic on 'Physical Characteristics and The Human Body', pupils in Y5 were introduced to Ed Emberley's much loved book 'Va-t'en Grand Monstre Vert.' Once they were familiar with the text, each pupil painted and designed their own unique paper plate monster, which they then went on to describe in both written and spoken French imitating the language structures used by the author.

Whilst on the subject of monsters, and purely for entertainment only, here's a short French cartoon that's sure to make you giggle! media type="custom" key="4459207"

Finally, why not read this wonderful Storybird entitled [|'Mes Amis Les Monstres'] created by Barbara Cheded.

The text uses familiar vocabulary and is very easy to follow. Which monster is your favourite and why?
