Two friends go into a sweet shop to buy a lollipop. Before they can take it from the jar, it is snatched by another boy who disappears on his bike. A frantic chase ensues.
Themes: Determination, resilience, problem solving, friendship
Activity 1: Reorder storyboard
Look at the following stills from the film and rearrange them in the correct order to retell the story.
I can recognise labels and environmental print. I am beginning to organise images and text. With support, I can sequence images and text to demonstrate my understanding. MLAN 1-08a
Here are some lines of dialogue reflecting key moments in the film. Match them up to the storyboard you have created – one sentence per picture.
“Bonjour, madame!”
“Il a pris le dernier bonbon!”
“On y va!”
“Grimpe!”
“On passe par le port!”
“Il est là - on l’attrappe!”
“Donne-moi ça!”

Activity 3: Character descriptions
Look at the pictures of the characters from the film and write a description of each using the information sheet.
I can work on my own or with others to demonstrate my understanding of words and phrases containing familiar language. MLAN 1-08b
Activity 4: Describe your town
Look at the description of the town in the film and see if you can write a similar description of your town or area. What shops are there? Are there any specific buildings?
Alternatively, draw a map of your local area and label the buildings.
With support, I am beginning to experiment with writing in the language I am learning.MLAN 1-13
A small mouse is hunting for food in a snow-covered forest. He suddenly finds himself in danger but gets help from an unexpected ally.
Themes: Friendship, resilience, collaboration, looking out for others.
Activity 1: Actions
Using the attached worksheet, match up the actions from the film with their meanings in English. Once you have done this, your teacher will tell you to do these actions which you must carry out on the spot.
Activity 2: Feeding cycles: Les chaînes alimentaires
Look at the pictures and organise them into a food chain.
Write sentences in French to describe who eats what (e.g Le soleil est mangé par (is eaten by) l’algue, l’algue est mangée par l’anguille, l’anguille est mangée par le dophin.)
Encourage your children to use a dictionary to create their own food chains in French.

A small blue alien is desperately seeking a friend for company on its lonely blue moon. A rocket lands on a scientific mission and the astronaut finds it hard to carry out his work without the attentions of the alien.
A PowerPoint with questions about the film will be used in the cinema on the day of screening – a copy of this will be available after the event by contacting Mike Tait via [email protected].
I enjoy listening to stories, songs, rhymes and poems in the language I am learning by joining in and responding to show my understanding. MLAN 1-05a
Activity 3: Describing planets by colour and size
Research the sizes and colours of the planets in the solar system, then draw them and label them in French. In their cooperative group, the children could also have the picture of a planet and describe it in French to the rest of the group who will have to guess the name (e.g. Elles est bleue. C’est la troisième planète. Elle est de taille moyenne)
I can participate in a range of collaborative activities. MLAN 1-05b
Activity 4: Make a film
Using a phone, tablet or camera (and a stop-motion app), see if you can make a similar film using models and plasticene characters then create a simple soundtrack in French.
Please contact the Pan Tayside Staff Tutor team who are available to provide support and advice with this activity.
Looks tells the story of a grey lynx that doesn’t quite fit into a world of colourful animals. He’s being excluded and bullied by the coloured animals. On his search for acceptance and belonging he finds himself resorting to drastic measures…
Themes: Friendship, determination, problem solving, looking out for others.
Activity 1: Animals
Extend your vocabulary of animals by creating your own fingerprint characters. Using a dictionary, label them in French. Encourage the pupils to describe them to their shoulder partner using full sentences.

Activity 2: Feelings
Play a game of snap using the cards provided by matching the word to the picture. Watch the short movie again. Ask the pupils to describe the characters’ emotions throughout the film.

Would you make a good Discovery Film FestivalCase Study?
We are seeking a number of simple Case Studies in how teachers have used or are using Discovery films in the classroom across Curriculum for Excellence and across the Levels.
Any case studies that we develop would be intended for presentation on GLOW, the Creativity Portal and on Discovery Film Festival websites. We have a simple template to be completed and are keen to have classwork and documentation included.
If you would like to be a Discovery Case Study please e-mail [email protected]
