5Greenman and the Magic Forest Teacher’s Book B

Introduction

General description of the course

Welcome to Greenman and the Magic Forest, a series

developed specifically for the needs of Spanish Pre-primary

pupils. In this dynamic course, pupils learn English through

songs and stories, games and hands-on activities related

to learning about and caring for the environment and each

other.

Objectives

The activities in the Greenman and the Magic Forest

course incorporate the of�cial objectives of the Pre-Primary

curriculum: Knowing one’s self and personal autonomy,

Physycal, natural, social and cultural environment and

Languages: Communication and representation.

The activities are geared toward Pre-primary abilities, and

keep in consideration the wide variety of learning styles

within this age group. The integrated curriculum lets pupils

study English as a means of learning about the world

around them, not simply the study of English as English

alone. The concepts and objectives complement the

Pre-primary general curriculum and help children to make

connections between concepts they are learning in other

subject areas.

Concept and characters

Greenman, the magical protector of the forest, will

introduce children to a delightful English speaking world

through stories and songs. Pupils will discover ways to look

after the environment, enjoy nature, and cultivate a healthy

lifestyle.

The course features Greenman, and his charming friends,

Nico and Sam (two children), Stella (our friendly Phonics

snake), and many other forest animals, accompanying

pupils through:

A strong routine based course using seasons and nature

as its central themes.

Stories that blend the forest world with recognisable,

‘real life’ settings, to which the pupils can relate.

Catchy songs that use TPR movements (Total Physical

Response) to teach vocabulary in a style that pupils will

enjoy and remember. Special Phonics songs to introduce

new sounds.

A wide variety of activities designed for Pre-primary

abilities, as well as an integrated curriculum which

allows pupils to learn English in synergy with their other

subjects.

Age appropriate Projects which present the use of English

in real situations.

Methodology

Following a holistic approach, the course teaches English

as part of the children’s overall learning process.

Greenman and the Magic Forest’s lesson structure lends

itself naturally to English acquisition.

It features:

A unique topic and story for each unit, along with

unit values (such as ‘helping others’ and ‘empathy’),

contrasting concepts (such as ‘open’ and ‘closed’) and

relevant vocabulary to enhance all themes.

Six new vocabulary words, presented in each unit.

Vocabulary, which is continuously reviewed and developed

throughout the course to build comprehension.

A wide variety of activities to spark children’s enthusiasm

and give opportunities for each child to feel a sense of

achievement.

Songs that pupils will enjoy singing along with while doing

the TPR actions they have learned in class.

Young learners will get to know classroom routines in

English with Greenman’s help. They will become used to

the language and learn much of it passively. They will be

actively involved in repetitive words and phrases that they

will hear and use in every class until they are part of their

commonly used vocabulary. The connections made with the

globalised concepts in the official Pre-primary curriculum will

help children to build on information that they have already

learned in their native language. The songs and games add

fun and variety to enhance their first English experience in

these very important years of learning.


www.cambridge.org




Pre-primary Curriculum Objectives

Knowing one’s self and personal autonomy

1. Develop an appropriate and positive image

of oneself through interaction with others

and the gradual identification with their own

characteristics, capabilities and limitations,

developing feelings of self-confidence and

personal autonomy.

Greenman and the Magic Forest provides a multitude of

experiences for positive reinforcement. By feeling success with

each new word presented, and receiving reinforcement from

the teacher with added stickers and stamps the children feel

a sense of accomplishment and self-worth.

2. Know and show one’s body and its elements and

functions, discovering its limits and improving

coordination and control of precise gestures and

movements.

Pupils will learn the names of the body parts in English, practise

movements that the body can do, the way different facial

expressions look and feel and use movement in games and

TPR activities. Each lesson involves movement, expression and

gestures.

3. Identify one’s own feelings, emotions, needs or

preferences and to be capable of controlling,

expressing and communicating them to others

(identifying and respecting those of others as

well).

In Greenman and the Magic Forest pupils will work on emotions

and communicate through role play and through observation in

the Big Book stories. The Values activities help children to focus

on important values such as sharing. The Big Book stories show

how characters can help each other to solve problems.

4. Perform routine activities while encouraging

autonomy, develop a feeling of self-confidence

and acquire strategies to satisfy basic needs.

Throughout the course pupils will gradually build independence

in the activities in Greenman and the Magic Forest by becoming

familiar with the routines in class. The course offers many

different opportunities for pupils to perform activities in which

they will feel confident and successful.

5. Develop and practise ‘respect’ and respectful

behaviour. Learn methods of collaboration with

others and how to avoid submissive or dominating

behaviours.

The Big Book stories illustrate a warm friendly atmosphere. The

focus in the class activities is to support classmates when they

struggle and when they succeed. By offering examples and giving

practise of good models of behaviour they become natural and

routine.

6. Progress in acquiring habits and attitudes related

to safety, hygiene, enjoying a balanced lifestyle

and emotional well-being.

Greenman and the Magic Forest has an environmental focus,

with stories that take place mainly outdoors and feature the

characters in active and healthy situations. Activities support

this theme by involving lots of physical movement and a healthy

attitude toward life.

Greenman and the Magic Forest is designed taking into

consideration the particular needs and objectives described

in the official Pre-primary curriculum, and satisfies the

general curricular objectives for the Pre-primary second

cycle.

The following are the standards for Pre-primary learning in

Spain as described in the official Pre-primary curriculum.


www.cambridge.org




Physical, natural, social and cultural environment

1. Actively observe and explore surroundings

generating interpretations about some situations

and pertinent information about daily life.

Cultivate curiosity for these themes.

In the Big Book stories and class activities children are

introduced to various situations that are part of daily life.

In the process of learning English, children also develop

these life skills.

2. Interact with others, in an increasingly balanced

and satisfactory manner, progressively interiorising

guidelines for social behaviour and adjusting

one’s conduct to them.

The course offers many opportunities to role play practising

positive social interactions which teachers and peers will

value and reinforce. Through games and helping one another

in activities, the pupils are adjusting their own behaviour and

developing social skills.

3. Get to know distinct social groups within their

individual and unique community, some of their

characteristics, cultural productions, values and

lifestyles, generating an attitude of trust, respect

and appreciation.

Learning a new language is showing appreciation for different

cultures. The children will identify with this culture through its

language. The class activities involve sharing and helping one

another. By developing these social skills with support from the

teacher the children see that they are all equal despite their

differences.

4. Initiate mathematical abilities, in reference

to elements and collections, identifying their

attributes and qualities and establishing

relationships of grouping, classification, ordering

and quantifying.

Each unit involves a lesson (Lesson 5) focused on developing

skills such as grouping, classification, ordering and quantifying.

Each unit includes a number song to practise counting and

mathematical thinking in a fun way.

5. Learn and value the natural environment.

Encourage an attitude of care, respect and

responsibility for the conservation of basic and

essential elements of the natural world.

Greenman and the Magic Forest is set in the natural environment.

Greenman himself is a magical forest creature who leads

the children, along with the forest friends, through different

situations in each unit. Pupils will develop a greater appreciation

and sense of responsibility toward nature as they learn the

importance of what nature creates and its special gifts.


www.cambridge.org




Languages: Communication and representation

1. Use language as a learning tool of communication,

representation and enjoyment. Understanding

language as an expression of ideas and feelings.

Beginning to value oral language as a means to

develop relationships with others.

The pupils will use English to understand and complete the tasks

in class. They will use drama skills to do actions that represent

words in English. The role play activities and dialogues in which

the pupils will participate, will develop these important skills.

2. Express feelings, hopes and ideas through oral and

other forms of communication and practising how

to choose the one which best suits the situation.

Each unit focuses on a specific emotion as well as contrasting

concepts. The Big Book stories, games and activities, dialogues

and actions help the pupils practise the positive ways of

expressing their emotions.

,

3. Comprehend the intentions and messages of

other children and adults while adopting a positive

attitude toward language, their own as well as

foreign languages.

The pupils will build active language skills as well as receptive

language skills as they become confident in the routines of

the class with the Routine Board and through the regular unit

structure. By receiving positive reinforcement and learning and

practising language in a non-threatening atmosphere, pupils build

a positive attitude toward language.

4. Comprehend, reproduce and recreate some literary

texts with an attitude of value, enjoyment and

interest.

The Big Book stories are a springboard for other ‘active time’

activities, songs, role plays and Pupil’s Book activites. The pupils

will learn the stories well enough to join in as the teacher reads

the story.

5. Exploring reading and writing as social instruments

of communication, information and enjoyment.

Pupils will develop pre-writing skills in lesson 5 of each unit. They

will practise making different types of lines and shapes and later,

write numbers and identify words and letters. They will see the Big

Book story time as an enjoyable time to share stories with their

class.

6. Promote the importance of art and expression in

different languages. Practice activities that include

artistic expression and representation through the

use of diverse techniques.

The pupils will practise physical expression with the TPR action

songs, as well as games and activities throughout the course with

Greenman and the Magic Forest. They will represent individual

words with actions and expression and learn that artistic

expression is fun!

Pupil’s Book with Stickers and Pop-outs

The Pupil’s Book includes

colour pages as well as

stickers and pop-outs. The

wide format and spiral

binding are easy for young

children to manage as

they learn to locate pages

with page numbers and

work within the book. The

book includes tear-off

worksheets so the teacher has the option of sending home

individual worksheets for pupils to review.

App

Children will be able to

enjoy the Greenman App

interactive games at home

with their parents. They

can listen to the stories

and songs again to review

and enjoy.

Big Book

The Big Book, with its full colour illustrations of fun

characters and lively action scenes, is a really attractive

component for young children. The Big Book includes six

stories, which act as the main focus for each of the six

main units.

Teacher’s Book / Guía Didáctica

The Teacher’s Book in

full colour includes all the

information to help teachers

to plan and execute lessons.

There is a full guide for each

lesson including optional

activities and games for

extension. The spiral binding

makes the Teacher’s Book

easy to use while planning

and teaching.

include all songs, chants and Big

Book stories used in the course.

The audio transcripts for each of

these is included in the Teacher’s

Book.

Components


www.cambridge.org




Routine Board

The magnetic board with removable elements makes

a clear focal point for starting each lesson at Routine

time. It helps pupils to get involved in identifying routine

vocabulary for weather, numbers, colours, shapes and

birthdays. Classroom helpers or volunteers enjoy helping

the teacher to identify the appropriate element for the

routine vocabulary each lesson.

Flashcards

Flashcards are a key element for this age

group as they make connections orally

and visually with the vocabulary in English.

There are flashcards for the six new

vocabulary words in each unit.

Wordcards

There are Wordcards with the six new

vocabulary words in each unit for those

teachers who are introducing the written

word.

Phonics Flashcards

The Phonics Flashcards are used to

practise the phonics sounds and words,

throughout the three levels of Greenman

and the Magic Forest. These can be used

with the Routine Board should the teacher

decide to include Phonics as part of Routine

time.

Greenman Puppet

Lovable Greenman is a cuddly puppet

which the children will associate directly

to English learning time in school.

Since Greenman only speaks English,

children are encouraged to stretch and

improve their language skills because

they will want to make that effort to

communicate with him.

Reward Stickers & Reward Stamp

These reinforcement tools are essential in helping children

to use English as much as possible in the classroom. By

pointing out the pupils’ success in class the pupils are

motivated to continue in their efforts. These components

include pictures of the main characters from the book and

positive expressions such as: Well done! Great!

Digital Forest

The digital component for Interactive Whiteboards

includes: animated stories, action songs videos, interactive

flashcards and games. These activities can be used as

an extension of the activities in the Teacher’s Book or as

a format to alternate between the physical resources and

technological ones for variety.Greenman and the Magic Forest Level A © Cambridge University Press 2015
