Lesson

Asking, offering and requesting means practising the idea at the table with a short text or prompt and one clear check. We will demo once, then your child tries.
Materials: Sentence strips or sticky notes; Pencil. 1. Say the goal of Asking, offering and requesting in plain words once. 2. Adult shows one sentence and marks the target grammar feature once. 3. Child finds or fixes the feature in three short sentences and reads each aloud. 4. Fresh check: one fresh sentence mark or fix. Record and stop. Done: three correctly marked or fixed sentences.

Check understanding
- Make a polite request with matching words and gesture (e.g. 'May I please have the glue?' with an open hand)
- Make an offer to a classmate (e.g. 'Would you like a turn?') and respond to one with 'Yes, please' or 'No, thank you'
- Show with face and voice the difference between an exclamation ('Wow!'), a question and a command ('Sit down, please') in role-play
“When your child wants something at the dinner table, do they ask with polite words and a friendly face — and can they offer things to others, like 'Would you like some?'”
