Common misconception
Pupils may struggle to generate vocabulary to explain the expressions and movements.
The purpose of learning cycle 1 is to provide the children with vocabulary. Narrate how the children are feeling in their freeze-frames and get them to repeat. For example, you may say 'You look famished.' and the children repeat 'We are famished'.
