Year 4 - Arabic/English Translanguaging

Today we played a game of 'Guess Who' but we played it with a twist!
Ms. Miriam wanted to learn some Arabic so she asked Banan 
to teach her how to play this game in Arabic.

Ms Miriam drew a picture of a face and Banan helped her with the vocab she would need to play the game.  Ms Miriam quickly figured out that not only did she need the names for nose, hair, eyes etc but she also needed adjectives like colours, size etc.

AND she needed phrases like 'Is it a...?' and 'Does he/she have...?'

Here is what Banan thought about today's lesson.  
Clearly Ms Miriam has some work to do before she's fluent in Arabic ;)
