I've got five lovely sheep, baa-baa the sheep!
I really love my pets, my lovely pets!

Stage 1 – Brief Revision
Revise the previous lesson briefly following the procedure of Lesson 3 Stage 1 (here revise: summer, ice cream, beach, sand, swimming, hot, to play, to go, to eat, to swim)
Stage 2 Vocabulary focus i) ANIMALS: pet, cat, duck, dog, cow, sheep ii) NUMBERS: one, two, three, four, five iii) SOUNDS OF ANIMALS: miaw, quack, woof, moo, baa
Prepare flashcards and finger puppets at home that depict pets and numbers 1-5. Present the pet flashcards to Ss, use L1 and ask them: “What can you see in the pictures?”, “Have you got any pets?”, “Do you love them?” “What is your favourite pet?”. (If you want, you can explain the difference between pets and animals by presenting Ss with another flashcard depicting wild animals, apart from the one depicting pets. In this case, tell Ss that both pets and wild animals are animals, but pets are looked after by humans). Present and drill vocabulary items concerning pets pet, cat, duck, dog, cow, sheep by using the flashcards and / or rhythmical clapping [cat, duck, dog, sheep (clap one half note, ta-ah), co-w (clap two quarter notes, ta ta)]. Then, ask Ss if they know what sounds these pets make. Ss answer based on the way these sounds are rendered in their mother tongue and then, you present them with their English equivalents. Practice these animal sounds further by making an animal sound e.g. miaw and by asking Ss to show you the correct animal flashcard and label it in English e.g. cat and / or vice versa. Having taught Ss the pets mentioned in the song, it's time you presented them with the flashcards depicting numbers 1-5. First ask Ss to count from number 1 to number 5 in their mother tongue and then, present and drill numbers 1-5 in English by using both the flashcards and rhythmical clapping [one, two, three, four (clap one half note, ta-ah), fi-ve (clap two quarter notes, ta ta)]. Practise numbers 1-5 further by asking Ss to give you examples of these numbers. For example, you say “one” and Ss show you one ball / pencil etc. Revise the verb to love by sketching a heart on the board. Tell Ss that they will sing a song in which they express their love for pets. Play the song on the piano. Ask Ss to i) stand up and move to the rhythm of the music ii) put the pet flashcards in the correct order based on the song iii) match the number flashcards with the pet flashcards based on the song iv) sing the song and clap their hands (4 quarter notes per measure, ta ta ta ta)
Stage 3 – Incorporating percussion instruments into our activities & practising rhythmical patterns
Divide the class into groups and give them the percussion instruments they are going to use in this song (Always give instructions by following the procedure of Lesson 1 Stage 3). Group A beats 2 half notes per measure using their maracas (ta-ah ta-ah), Group B beats 4 quarter notes per measure using their tambourines (ta ta ta ta), Group C beats “1 quarter note, 2 eighth notes, 1 half note” per measure using their sticks (ta ti-ti ta-ah). Practice separately and then altogether as a band. Last, ask Ss to play and sing the song as much as they can.
Stage 4 – Follow-up activities
Divide the class into 5 groups and ask groups to choose one number from 1 to 5 as well as a pet from the ones they have just learnt and make a poster illustrating the number in question. While making the posters , Ss could be listening to music (e.g. Shostakovich “Waltz No. 2”). In the end, Ss vote for the best poster. Ask Ss to sing goodbye to Mrs Mary (see Lesson 1 Follow-up).
