The chosen emotional warm-up activity is Guided Meditation.

3. Guide students to focus on their breathing, noting the air as it fills and leaves their lungs for a moment.

4. Begin the meditation gently: 'Imagine you’re in a peaceful and safe space, perhaps on a quiet beach or in a blooming field. Feel the warmth of the sun on your skin and listen to the gentle sounds of nature around you.'

5. Continue with calming phrases like: 'With each breath, allow yourself to unwind, feeling lighter in your body and calmer in your mind.'

6. After a few minutes, slowly guide them back by saying: 'Start to wiggle your fingers and toes, and when you're ready, open your eyes gently.'

3. Irregular Verbs in the Present Tense: Point out that irregular verbs do not have a set pattern and need to be memorised, as they might have root changes or changes in endings.

4. Example: The verb 'tener' (to have). Conjugation: yo tengo, tú tienes, él/ella tiene, nosotros tenemos, vosotros tenéis, ellos/ellas tienen.

5. Verbs with Root Change: Some verbs undergo root changes in specific forms, which can influence pronunciation and spelling.

6. Example: The verb 'dormir' (to sleep). Conjugation: yo duermo, tú duermes, él/ella duerme, nosotros dormimos, vosotros dormís, ellos/ellas duermen.
