Level 8 - Beach

About this level

Countries and weather types account for most of the new language in level eight, which has 'the beach' as its main theme. Clothes vocabulary is reviewed and, for the first time in this scheme of work, there's an activity which revises selected vocabulary from each of the previous units. As the children are now very familiar with verbal use of the core vocabulary, word recognition and writing practice are stepped up.
