In Learn with Us 5, children follow the real-life experiences of
Jack, a ten-year-old British schoolchild. Jack and his family
and friends inhabit a world the children can easily relate
to – at home, at school or doing activities on holiday. In this
way, children are motivated to learn and use the language of
real-life situations that are relevant to them, while also being
invited to draw comparisons between the main character’s
and their own experiences. Learning alongside a real child

opportunities to learn about other cultures and encourage
them to develop the skills and competences shown by Jack Sally

Stories Following the CPT presentation materials, the children are
invited to open their Class Books for a re-telling of the story,
this time in closer view, with full-colour story frames and
accompanying audio. A variety of activities in the Class Book
and Activity Book support consolidation of new vocabulary
and core concepts. The children also further develop learner
independence by being encouraged to evaluate the story
and say what they think about it. The children, as with

The unit stories in Lesson 5 play an important role with
regard to language development, as they not only present

and incidental). Hearing this recycled language in a rich

projects, and the unit tests each contain an ‘All about my test’
feature, allowing for self-reflection on how well the child has
performed at the end of the unit.
Cross-curricular focus
One core lesson in each
unit of Learn with Us covers
content from other subjects
across the curriculum,
providing the opportunity
to transfer useful, practical
English language to a
range of different areas
of the curriculum, including Social and Natural Science and
Music. These lessons are linked to the theme of the unit and
complement the culture lesson that has come before. This
allows vital links to be formed in the children’s language-
learning, as well as providing a meaningful context for the
topic area via a ‘learning through meaning’ approach.
The content ranges from why exercise is good for us to music
compositions and an orchestra, to styles of art and the world
of water, and the concept is always consolidated with clear
illustrations and activities in the Class Book, with further
practice in the Activity Book. Within these lessons, the children
will encounter new vocabulary specific to each topic, but the
focus is on understanding the concept rather than retaining all
the new language.

Think
Learn with Us encourages the development of thinking
and communication skills through engaging collaborative
activities which promote truly meaningful communication.
The Think icon in the Class Book and Activity Book denotes
activities which encourage children to formulate and express
their own opinion. The language they need to do this is
clearly modelled and they are encouraged to share their
opinions with others. They are encouraged to respect each
other’s opinions, and are reminded of the need to take turns
in a conversation and appreciate that there is more than one
perspective on most things. As this features regularly, they
will gain in confidence as the year progresses.
Likewise, the projects that appear in each unit are an
example of how collaborative work not only facilitates
appreciation of each other’s ideas but also develops personal
initiative. In these tasks, the children are asked to work in
pairs to check and revise their project. This collaboration
allows children to learn from and instruct each other on how
to improve their work.
Parental involvement
English at home
The support and involvement of parents and family members
is a key motivating factor for children across all subjects. The
children will enjoy sharing what they have learnt with their
parents or carers, and for this reason, Learn with Us uses a
variety of approaches to help establish a vital home–school
link for the children.
The ‘English at home’ icon appears in several places throughout
the Class Book and Activity Book, clearly signposting
opportunities for children to share their learning with their
parents or carers.
Establishing clear and transparent communication with
parents is also essential in developing a cooperative
relationship between home and school. It’s important to keep
parents informed about what their children are learning.

on a large piece of paper. Display the pieces of paper around
the room and allow groups to walk around and add to them.
Use this to see what errors the class are making and review
these areas with them later.
Lesson 7 To help children familiarize themselves with the
pronunciation, write the two sounds on separate pieces
of paper and place them on opposite sides of the room.
Pronounce a sound and ask the class to walk or point to the
correct side of the room. Review and mix in sounds from
previous units and have three or four sounds placed around
the room. Once the children are familiar with the sound and
words that contain it, say a word with the sound and ask
them to walk /point to the correct side of the room.
To have some fun with pronunciation, ask the class to say
the rhyme in different ways – first slowly and then quickly,
quietly and then loudly (and vice versa), happily and in a sad
way, etc.
Lesson 8 Go through the questions in activities 1 and
2 before the children listen to the dialogue and check
comprehension together as a class. Put the class into small
mixed-ability groups to read the questions again and predict
the answers. Invite them to be as creative or as inventive as
they like and to give reasons for their answers. Feed back
some answers from the class. After doing the ‘listen and
match’ opinions activity in the Class Book, make the activity
interactive by designating areas of the classroom as the
‘three opinions’. Children walk to the area which reflects their
opinion and say their opinion out loud.
Lesson 9 When the children check each other’s work,
encourage mixed-ability pairs or different pairs each time so
that they bring out each other’s strengths and support each
other, but do consider how well they work together and get
along outside the classroom. They need to feel comfortable
working together to make the most of their English and
have fun.

3 Read the research questions. Research and write
the answers.
• Tell the children to think of a sportsperson they would
like to write about. They use the internet or books and

answer the questions.
• Look at Jack’s tip. Remind the class to try and find
information that is useful and as interesting as they can.
• They answer the questions to help them direct their
research and find useful and interesting information about
the person.
4 Read the tips and write your project.

• Read the tips together as a class. Ask for any other ideas
the children might have for each category. Refer them to
the Class Book for support with spelling and grammar.
• The children use the information they have found to write
their article. They can draw or stick pictures in the three
spaces provided to decorate their project.
5 Check and revise your work. Check and revise

with your friend. Learn to learn.
• Encourage the children to edit their work. The questions
will help them to check and revise their article.
• Put the children into pairs to read and check one another’s
work. Remind the children to be respectful of each other’s
work and ideas. Monitor and help throughout.
6 Present your project.

• Ask 5–6 children to present their projects to the class.
Remember who presented their project this time, so
different children can present the next time.
OPTION:
If you have limited time, ask the children to present their
projects in groups of 4–5 children. Then ask 2–3 children
to present to the whole class. Make a note of who
presented to the class so each child has a turn before the
end of the school year.

Using language from the unit to create a personal project
gives children an opportunity to be creative, personalise
the language and work autonomously.

• Play a game of the class’s choice (see Ideas bank

We learn about Jack and his family as they move to a new town, we celebrate Jack’s birthday with
an activities party, visit a safari park with his family and friends. We discover the places in Jack’s new
town and join him at a job fair. We go shopping with him at a department store to buy a birthday
present for his cousin and join him and his friends at a summer activities camp. Following a real
child’s life creates a motivating and meaningful context for learning essential words, structures and
skills in English.
Learn with Us 5 offers stories and interesting real-life culture films and charming animated stories,
introduced by Jack, which will enrich your child’s learning and his or her understanding of the
culture of the UK and other English speaking countries, values and citizenship, and the wider
world. Learn with Us 5 also provides a wealth of extra material such as videos, songs, projects and
interactive games.
Learn with Us 5 has a strong focus on developing your child’s communication skills and confidence
in speaking English through frequent collaborative speaking activities. Children are regularly
encouraged to give their opinion in English and nine projects over the year give them lots of
opportunity to use English in a personalized and meaningful way. Literacy skills continue to be
developed through fun unit and revision stories and other interesting reading texts, for example in
the culture pages. Get involved by reading or watching them together. Encourage your child to tell
you about their learning and compare similarities and differences in culture.
Learn with Us 5 recognizes that your support and encouragement are important to your child’s
success and provides plenty of ways for you to join in actively with your child’s learning, even if you
don’t speak English. Encourage your child to sing you the songs he or she learns in class, ask him
or her to tell you about the children they have met in Learn with Us 5 in the real-life and animated
films and stories, and share his or her experiences. Try to look at his or her work regularly and ask
about favourite activities in each unit. Always give lots of praise for your child’s efforts. Encourage
your child to look back at his or her work and see what has been done well, what he or she is
proud of, what can be improved and also what targets he or she has set for the next unit.
Please do not hesitate to ask me anything about your child’s progress this year.
Welcome to Learn with Us!
Yours sincerely,
English teacher
