Listen and draw lines
Listen and draw lines between names and items in the picture. There is one example.
Narrator: Now listen and draw lines. There is one example. Look at the windmill workshop open day.
Man: Can you see Ella?
Child Girl: Is she the one painting the little door?
Man: No. Ella's wearing a yellow cardigan. She's looking carefully at the windmill plan on the left.
Child Girl: Oh yes. I can see her. I'll draw the line to Ella.
Narrator: Can you see the line? This is an example. Now you listen and draw lines.
Man: Number one. Find Max. He's brought something colourful to show everyone.
Child Boy: Is Max the boy with the blue toolbox?
Man: No. Max is further up on the left. He's wearing a green cap and holding a red pinwheel.
Child Boy: I see him holding the pinwheel.
Man: That's right. Draw a line to Max.
Man: Number two. Where's Ruby?
Child Girl: Is she painting the windmill?
Man: The windmill is too big to paint today. Ruby's painting a tiny wooden door. Look for the girl in the purple shirt in the centre-left.
Child Girl: There she is, working at the small door.
Man: Yes. Draw a line to Ruby.
Man: Number three. Now find Leo. He has brought a useful box with him.
Child Boy: Is that the boy in the orange striped shirt?
Man: Yes. He's carrying a blue toolbox through the middle of the picture. The boy in the white jumper is turning the wheel, so he isn't Leo.
Child Boy: I've found the toolbox. That's Leo.
Man: Good. Draw a line to Leo.
Man: Number four. Can you see Nina? She wants a picture to remember today.
Child Girl: Is Nina taking a photograph near the windmill?
Man: Yes. She's on the right, wearing a pink jacket and holding up her camera. The girl with green glasses is watering flowers, not taking a photograph.
Child Girl: I can see Nina now.
Man: Draw a line to Nina.
Man: Number five. Find Owen. He's helping to make something move.
Child Boy: Is he working at the wheel?
Man: That's Owen. He's wearing a white jumper with a blue star and turning the large wooden wheel at the lower left. Don't choose the boy carrying the toolbox.
Child Boy: All right. I'll draw a line to Owen.
Man: That's the end of Part One.
Narrator: That is the end of Part 1.
Listen and write a name or a number
Complete the windmill workshop booking form. Listen and write one answer in each box. There is one example.
📝 Listen and write
Narrator: Part Two. Listen and write. There is one example.
Woman: Good morning. Which activity would your family like to book?
Woman2: The windmill painting workshop, please. My children saw the little models on your website.
Woman: Lovely. And your family name?
Woman2: Green. That's G. R. E. E. N.. People sometimes add an E at the end, but ours doesn't have one.
Woman: Thank you. I'll write Green. There are two sessions, at ten o'clock and half past ten.
Woman2: We first thought ten would be easier, but the children have a short tour then. Half past ten is better.
Woman: Certainly. The models are made from wood, and you can paint them after the guide shows you how the sails work.
Woman2: Wood is good. I wondered if they were cardboard, because the children painted cardboard windmills at school last week.
Woman: These are stronger wooden ones. How many would you like?
Woman2: Three, please, one for each child. I was going to book two, but the youngest wants to join in too.
Woman: No problem. Please meet the workshop guide beside the water barrel at ten twenty-five. The main gate is where the walking tour starts.
Woman2: So, the water barrel, not the gate. I'll tell everyone.
Woman: That's right. The barrel is just outside the workshop door. Bring an apron if you have one, though we have a few spare.
Woman2: We have aprons. Do the children need to bring brushes?
Woman: No, brushes and paint are included. The children can choose their colours when they arrive. Please keep the booking slip, because we'll check it at the table.
Woman2: All right. The Green family, three wooden models, half past ten, meeting by the water barrel.
Woman: Exactly. We look forward to seeing you.
Narrator: That is the end of Part 2.
Which gift does each child choose?
Which gift does each child choose? Look at gifts A–H. Listen and choose one letter for each child. There is one example.
Narrator: Part Three. Listen and choose the correct picture. There is one example.
Child Boy: I want to take something home for my grandad. He likes looking at old buildings, so I'll choose the windmill postcard. I don't need another mug.
Narrator: Can you see the letter H? Now you listen and choose.
Narrator: Number eleven. What will Mia choose?
Child Girl: I like the wool scarf, but I already have a warm scarf at home. I could get a marble, though I have a box of those already. The leaf bookmark will be useful in my nature book, so I'll take that.
Narrator: Number twelve. What will Ben choose?
Child Boy: The toy tractor is brilliant. My cousin would love it, but today I'm choosing a present for myself. I want something to use outside. The red kite is just right, and it's light enough to carry to the field.
Narrator: Number thirteen. What will Sophie choose?
Child Girl: I came to buy the wool scarf, but my sister reminded me that I already have two warm ones. I like the clay mug with the large handle. I can drink tea from that after school. I'll buy the mug.
Narrator: Number fourteen. What will Arun choose?
Child Boy: That glass marble would look nice on my desk, but I'm trying to choose something I can use. I cook with my grandfather at weekends. The wooden spoon is smooth and the right size, so that's my gift.
Narrator: Number fifteen. What will Lily choose?
Child Girl: I have lots of windmill postcards at home, even though this one is lovely. My farm game needs another vehicle. The toy tractor will be perfect, so I'll take it. I can give my brother the red kite another time.
Narrator: That is the end of Part 3.
Listen and tick (✓) the box
Listen to the conversations at the windmill open day. Look at each set of pictures and tick the correct box. There is one example.
Narrator: Part Four. Listen and choose the correct picture. There is one example.
Man: How did you come to the open day, Ella? Did you ride your bicycle?
Child Girl: No, my bicycle is at home. Dad drove here in his car, but Mum and I came on the bus.
Man: So you came by bus, not by car?
Child Girl: That's right.
Narrator: The answer is B. Now you listen and choose.
Narrator: Number sixteen. What has Ella lost?
Child Boy: Is your camera missing, Ella? I saw it beside the plan.
Child Girl: I found my camera in my bag. I thought I'd lost my key, but it's in my pocket now. I can't find my gloves anywhere.
Child Boy: Maybe they're near the wheel.
Child Girl: I'll look there. I need them because it's chilly.
Narrator: Number seventeen. What snack does Max want?
Woman: Would you like a banana, Max? They're on the table.
Child Boy: I usually have a banana, but I had one on the way here. Is there any cake?
Woman: There is, but it's for the afternoon tea. We have cheese sandwiches now.
Child Boy: A sandwich sounds good, please.
Narrator: Number eighteen. What is the weather like now?
Child Girl: We should take the raincoats. Those clouds look dark.
Child Boy: They did, but the wind has moved them. Look, the sun's come out.
Child Girl: You're right. We can leave the coats here, though the forecast says it may rain this evening.
Narrator: Number nineteen. Where will the children meet the guide?
Narrator: Shall we meet by the cafe? It's easy to see.
Child Boy: The cafe is crowded. We could wait at the gate, but the tour starts there and people might get mixed up.
Narrator: Then let's meet beside the little bridge over the stream.
Child Boy: Good idea. We'll meet at the bridge.
Narrator: Number twenty. What job will Zoe do first?
Man: Zoe, can you plant these seeds in the garden?
Child Girl: Yes, after I've finished here. First I need to wash the paintbrushes. I can paint the little door later, after it is dry.
Man: All right. Put the clean brushes on the cloth, please.
Child Girl: I will. Then I'll help with the seeds.
Narrator: That is the end of Part 4.
Listen, colour and write
Listen and colour four discs in the windmill garden. Choose a colour, then choose an outlined disc. Write the requested word in the box for the workshop sign. The disc on the left gate post is the blue example.

Man: Look at the garden picture. Can you see the round disc beside the gate at the top left?
Child Girl: Yes, it's hanging on the short post.
Man: Colour that disc blue, please.
Child Girl: All right. Blue.
Narrator: Can you see the blue disc? This is an example. Now you listen and do the other things.

Man: There's a round disc under the bench. Colour that one green.
Child Boy: The one underneath the seat?
Man: That's right. Colour the one under the bench green.
Narrator: Number twenty-two. Look for the blank rectangular sign. What should we write on it?

Child Girl: W. I. N. D.. I'll write WIND on the sign.
Narrator: Number twenty-three. Can you see the water barrel?
Man: There's a round disc on the front of the barrel. Colour that one purple.
Child Boy: I can see another disc near the flower bed. Is that the one?
Man: No, choose the disc on the front of the water barrel. Colour it purple.
Narrator: Number twenty-four. Look at the windmill doorway.
Man: Can you see the round disc on the wall above the doorway? Colour that disc orange.
Child Girl: The one above the doorway, on the wall?
Man: Yes, colour it orange. Leave the disc beside the flowerpot white.
Child Girl: All right. Orange on the disc above the doorway.
Narrator: Number twenty-five. Now find the wheelbarrow.
Man: There's a round disc above the wheelbarrow. Colour that one red.
Child Boy: The disc above the wheelbarrow?
Man: Yes, colour it red. Leave the other two blank.
Child Boy: I will.
Narrator: That is the end of Part 5.
