14. “My brother had a strawberry flavoured drink and I had an orange juice”“We both found a large tree and decided to sit under it drinking our cold drinks” “We both spent the day enjoying our drink under the shade of the tree. The end”

15. Telling stories using Cuisenaire rods can be a great way to learn new words and even learn a new language Some of the languages taught using Cuisenaire rods include… Pacific Island languages Hindi Te reo Maori Japanese English And many other different languages Image: http://knowledgebox.wordpress.com/page/8/ http://www.kealaleo.com/history.htm http://cmukindergarten.webs.com/cor.JPG Both children and adults may learn a new language for different reasons… People may want to learn a new language because they are interested in a specific culture Others may want to learn because language is important to their own culture and identity What other different languages can we think of?

16. Let’s recap on what we have learnt so far… As we have seen, colour can help us think about words

17. So what have we learnt so far? Colour can help us think about certain things because of their colour help us learn new words help us tell a story to someone help a person learn a language because it maybe important to their identity or culture
