Parents/carers of children with SEN are often only contacted

such as progress made in speaking or listening.
Other parents may be concerned about their children’s

them that their child is not being overlooked and emphasize
that all pupils benefit from inclusive classrooms as they learn
to value diversity and difference, and develop empathy and

14 Introduction
Course tour (Level 4)
Level 4 of Rainbow Bridge is organised into six main units, preceded by a Starter unit of two lessons. Each unit is followed by
an episode of the story The Crown of the Dragon King, which runs through the level. The units each contain ten lessons with
corresponding Workbook pages for Lessons 2, 5, 6 and 8 in the integrated Workbook section at the back of the Class Book. In
addition to the main unit content, there are four CLIL sections, three Culture lessons and three Festivals lessons, plus a lesson
on the months of the year. At the back of the book there is an end-of-year review game, grammar reference tables and a
bilingual wordlist containing translations for all key language.

Legends Story
The episodical story, The Crown of the Dragon King, encourages pupils to develop extensive reading skills. They learn how to
understand the gist of a story by using known language as well as picking up on audio and visual cues.
• An off-the-page ‘Pre-reading’ activity reviews the story so far, verifies information and prepares pupils for the next instalment

• An ‘After reading’ activity
encourages pupils to think
more objectively about the
story and predict what they
think will happen next.
• A Class theatre activity offers
the chance to act out the
story.
Culture lessons
Level 4 contains three Culture sections: British towns and cities (shown here), The British royal family and British schools. The
attractive double-page lessons, presented by a British child of a similar age to the pupils, offer an insight into British life.
• The Teacher’s website includes useful background information about the topic.
• Pupils hear a British child talk about the photographs on the page. They complete Class Book reading and writing activities
on the same theme.
• Further activities draw on vocabulary the children already know. New language is presented in context and supported
visually before being used in the reading activity.
• The children use critical
thinking skills to consider the
subject more personally.
• They draw or make
something to illustrate their
own understanding of the
subject, then show and
describe it to the class.

CLIL lessons
There are four CLIL sections
each consisting of two lessons.
In Level 4 the topics covered
are: History (The Celts in Britain
and Ancient Egypt), Geography
(Reading maps) and Science
(Endangered animals). A large,

concepts. The poster includes

vocabulary and various listening, reading and writing activities to learn about the festival and to practise the language.

5 Talk about making friends.

• Ask pupils if they think Dylan and Briana are friendly
to each other in the story, and why (yes, because
they introduce themselves and say a little bit about
themselves). Ask if pupils think this is a good way to make
friends.
• Ask about Dylan’s and Briana’s interaction with Max. Was it
friendly? Why not? (they make assumptions and pre-judge
each other because they are from different cultures and
backgrounds). Ask if pupils think the three of them can be
friends if they give each other a chance.
• To personalize the value, ask how pupils react when there
are new children in their class. Are they friendly? What do
they do? Ask why it is important to make new classmates
feel welcome and make an effort to get to know them,
even if they look, act or sound different.
CITIZENSHIP Point out to pupils that it’s important not to
judge people too quickly if they are different from us. Explain
that it’s good to make friends with people from different
backgrounds and cultures because we can learn from each
other.

2 Make a book cover.
TIP This is the first of the skills lessons where pupils use the
language from a unit to do a task that is not just an activity
for an English lesson, but could also be carried out in other
contexts. If you or the pupils brought in some books, hold
them up one by one. Ask pupils to look at the cover, tell you
what they can see and what they think the book is about.
TIMESAVER TIP If you don’t have time for pupils to make
the book cover, the language tasks can still be carried out
through a discussion. Pupils then do the preparation and
planning activities.

something horrible about someone and they overhear it,
breaking something at home.
• Ask pupils to think of a situation recently when they had

how they felt.

experiences. Ask a few groups to share their stories with

5 Talk about thinking of others.

TIP The value in this story extends the empathy theme
from Unit 4, and focuses this time on thinking about how
others are feeling, and what we can do to ensure people are
not hurt, upset or unhappy.
• Ask pupils to look at Max in frames 2 and 3 and ask how
he feels and how they know (his face and his body tell
us he is unhappy). Ask pupils how they can tell how their
friends, siblings or classmates feel (their facial expressions,
their body gestures, the way they speak).
• Explain that Briana and Dylan decide to do something to
make Max happy, to let him know they are his friends. Ask
pupils for other ideas about what Dylan and Briana could
do to cheer Max up.
• Start a discussion about people who come from different
countries and are used to different kinds of food. Ask if
it’s polite to look unhappy if they offer you some different
food to eat. Ask what would be more polite (refuse with
a smile, or to try it first without judging). Give pupils an
example. Ask them what they have for breakfast, then
ask them to imagine if they went to another country and
that food wasn’t available. Ask if they would feel the same
as Max and how they would feel if someone tried to find
what they liked.
• Lead the discussion into how important it is to try new
things – how we learn from each other, and about each
other’s cultures and food, and ultimately we might find we
like new things!
