Learning review – listen for the important details
Look at each child’s action before matching a name. In Sophie’s form, listen for spelling, corrected numbers and the club starting time. For Sophie’s week, Sunday is the goldfish example; match five other days and leave Saturday unused. In the picture questions, listen to the end: the final choice can differ from the first suggestion. For colouring, find the correct object and then select its colour. Each question gives one mark for its own region.
Show Answer and transcripts help you study; they do not fill your answers or award marks. You can change an answer and submit again. For colouring questions, choose a colour and click the matching object in the picture. Each instruction states the required colour.
