about their learning and to take ownership of their
language learning. In Learn with Us 6, opportunities
for self-evaluation for the pupils can be found in the
following components.

Class Book
A variety of activities are provided in the Class
Book that promote learner awareness and
self-administered evaluation. In Lesson 5 of each
unit, the pupils are asked to assess the story after
they have read it, encouraging them to consciously
reflect on the learning process. Likewise, in Lesson 8,
the pupils think about and discuss Daisy’s projects,
which also helps to focus their attention on their
own unit project. This type of self-conscious
evaluation and decision-making is an essential step
in encouraging pupils to individualize their learning
and develop a sense of learner autonomy.

Activity Book
A number of tasks in the Activity Book help to
promote the importance of self-evaluation as a
learning strategy. In Lesson 5, the pupils extend the
Class Book activity by colouring in stars depending
on whether they thought the story was ‘OK’, ‘good’
or ‘great’. They are also given the opportunity to
evaluate their unit projects with a partner in Lesson
9. The unit projects provide an opportunity for the
children to personalize the language they have
learned, and so evaluating their projects with a
partner in this way will encourage them to think
about their achievements and personal
development at the end of each unit. Self-evaluation
tasks such as these, help the pupils to monitor their
level of success and thereby build self-confidence
and increase motivation.

Other resources
Class Book The large image on the page in Lessons
1 and 2 and the story frames in Lesson 5 include all
the core vocabulary of the unit, and so these pages
can be used as an accessible and quick visual recap
of the language they will need for each Unit test.
Likewise, the three review units in the Class Book
draw together all the core vocabulary and target
grammar from each term, providing a useful source
of preparation for the Term tests.
Activity Book The Activity Book provides an ideal
option for preparing children for the tests by
consolidating and reinforcing the language from the
course. The All about grammar pages at the back of
the Activity Book also offer a quick and useful
reference for each unit’s core grammar structure,
with a simple grammar table that the children can
quickly refer to for extra support.
Reinforcement and Extension worksheets The
Reinforcement and Extension worksheets provided
focus attention on written outcomes and so help
prepare children for the Reading and Writing part of
the tests in particular. They also serve as an
excellent means of reinforcing the core language
and building the children’s cognitive skills in a way
that will build their confidence ready for the tests.

people bought them from her. One day, she found
fossils on the beach. She wrote about the fossils
and dinosaurs in newspapers, and scientists visited
Mary because they wanted to see the fossils. The
fossils changed how people think about the history
of animals. Mary Anning didn’t study Science at

She is famous because she found those fossils.

A karting adventure
Emma and Clare often use their mum’s laptop to play computer
games. Yesterday, they played a new karting game. They clicked
the karts to go round and round. ‘This is boring,’ said Clare. ‘You
mustn’t click that button!’ said Emma, but Clare clicked it.
Suddenly, Clare and Emma weren’t outside the game. They were
inside it! They saw a forest, a desert and a mountain. Emma was
nervous, but Clare was confident. ‘Let’s go to the mountain!’ she
said. ‘OK,’ said Emma. Their karts went fast.
First, they went through a beautiful forest. There was a lot of mud.
Next, they went through a sandstorm in the desert. ‘This is
frightening!’ said Emma. Then, they went up the mountain. They
saw a snake. ‘This is very frightening!’ said Clare. ‘We need to go!’
They saw the desert and the forest below them. ‘Look! I can see
our house down there!’ said Emma. ‘Let’s go home!’

Hi Lily, how was your weekend? Mine was good. On Saturday morning, Mum
and I went to the new shopping centre. It’s called Summervales. The other
shopping centres in town look very old-fashioned now. We didn’t buy anything.
I think I prefer the Waterfield shopping centre. It’s less modern, but it’s also
less expensive! In the afternoon, we went to a museum. There were some
beautiful flower paintings. A French artist painted them two years ago. She
was at the museum. I said ‘Hello’ in French and asked her a question, but she didn’t understand
me! Oh no! But she was very nice and spoke to me in English. Unfortunately, it was difficult to
see the paintings because there were a lot of people at the museum. In the evening, I went to
the cinema with Billy and Rose. There were three films at the cinema. I wanted to watch Mr Late
(a funny film) or Chips and TV (a family film), but we watched Look Out! It was frightening! On
Sunday I just played computer games at home because I was tired.
See you soon, Kate

Hi! We went to Lyme Regis for our holiday. It rained every day, but we did
lots of interesting things. We went to an aquarium. It was small, but there
were lots of fish. We watched a funny film at the cinema. We went for a
walk in the rain. There was a lot of mud and I got dirty. On the last day,
we went to a museum and I learned about Mary Anning. She lived in
Lyme Regis about 200 years ago. Her parents didn’t have much money.
She collected shells on the beach and people bought them. One day, she
found fossils on the beach. She wrote about the fossils and dinosaurs in
newspapers. Scientists visited Mary because they wanted to see the fossils. The fossils changed
how people think about the history of animals. Mary Anning didn’t study Science at university,
but she learned a lot about dinosaurs. She is famous because she found those fossils.
See you soon, Alex

Lyme Regis? No, she didn’t. 9 The fossils helped scientists

for her family. 10 Mary Anning became
a famous scientist.

School summer party


There was a party at school last summer. It started at half past six.
I wanted to leave the house at quarter past six, but Mum was talking on the
phone. When she finished, we went to school by car. I said goodbye to Mum
and I went into school. It was seven o’clock. There was music in the school
hall and people were dancing. Mr Smith is my Maths teacher. He usually
wears a brown jacket and brown trousers, but he was wearing jeans and a
T-shirt. He and some other teachers were dancing and chatting. Where were my friends? Were
they dancing? No, they weren’t. Paul and James were playing table football, and Kathy and Anna
were playing pool. At half past seven, we started dancing and we didn’t stop! At half past nine,
I went home with Mum. ‘Were you working while I was at the party?’ I asked. ‘No, I wasn’t,’ she
said. ‘I went to the cinema with my friends and we watched a really good film about soldiers.’

I like Maria’s mum and dad. Her dad’s a firefighter. He’s done lots of amazing things. Last year, a
family had a terrible fire in their house and Maria’s dad helped them escape. He saved their lives!
Maria’s mum works in a factory. She likes animals. She wants a cat or a dog, but their house is
very small so she’s got a bird called Eric! He’s grey and white and very friendly!
Maria and I have played table football every day this summer and we’ve done lots of other things

My friend Nori lives in Tokyo, Japan. We play games online. I use my tablet. Our favourite game is
Journey to Earth. You’re aliens on the moon and you build a spaceship to travel to Earth. I was
a kind alien, but Nori was very selfish! He didn’t want to give me the key for my spaceship! I
sometimes write to Nori because I’ve got his email address. Last week, he used his webcam to
show me his city. He walked along the streets of Tokyo and he talked to me in English. He’s got
two sisters and his English is worse than theirs, but he’s very confident.
Nori’s city is famous and mine is too. There are lots of modern buildings in Tokyo. My city is old

A karting adventure
Emma and Clare often use their mum’s laptop to play computer games.
Yesterday, they played a karting game called ‘Magic Karts’. They clicked
the karts to go round and round. ‘This is boring,’ said Clare. There was a
dragon in front of her kart. ‘You mustn’t click it!’ said Emma, but Clare
clicked it. Suddenly, the girls weren’t outside the game. They were inside it! They saw a forest, a

Last Friday I was sitting on the platform at Westley Station. There was
nobody to talk to and I didn’t have a book to read. (I had my dad’s laptop,
but you need a password to use it and I didn’t know it. ) I was bored so I
went to a shop in the station. I saw a magazine called My Life. It was more
expensive than the other magazines, but I bought it because it had a story
about Clara Wyatt, the clothes designer. I know other clothes designers
are more famous than her, but I think hers are the most beautiful dresses
in the world. I finished the magazine on the train, then I started talking to the woman next to
me about her job. She cuts people’s hair at a big hotel. We played some games together
because she had some cards. Two hours later, we arrived at Park Street. When I was leaving
the station, a woman said to me, ‘Excuse me, is this yours?’ It was Clara Wyatt with my
magazine! I’m going to keep it for ever now!

Hi Kate,

USA! I’ve eaten British food and American food. I’ve
watched lots of films and I’ve met interesting people. I’ve
