Getting Going with French - LKS2
This term, our Year 3 and Year 4 students have shown remarkable progress in their French language skills, supported by the Language Angels scheme of work. Year 3 students have embraced learning through innovative outdoor activities and interactive games, such as scavenger hunts and playground games that incorporate French vocabulary and phrases, making learning enjoyable and reinforcing new words. Meanwhile, Year 4 students have been recapping their Year 3 knowledge and extending their skills, focusing on enhancing conversational skills and introducing simple sentence structures. Across both year groups, there has been a noticeable growth in students' confidence with reading and writing French, with activities ranging from word recognition tasks to composing short sentences, allowing them to see tangible progress. Overall, the term has been a resounding success, with students enjoying their French lessons and making significant strides in their language learning journey.
Expanding Our French Skills - UKS2
This term, our Upper Key Stage 2 students have excelled in their French language studies, focusing on producing longer pieces of writing and expanding their vocabulary to include terms relevant to global discourse. Through the use of authentic resources such as French news articles, videos, and literature, students have applied their language skills in practical contexts, enhancing their understanding and fluency. With the upcoming Olympics, students have been particularly engaged in learning vocabulary and phrases related to sports, international events, and cultural exchanges. This has provided a timely and exciting context for their studies, making the language learning experience more dynamic and relevant. Additionally, students have been developing their speaking skills through group discussions, presentations, and role-playing exercises centred around the Olympics, which have significantly boosted their confidence and ability to communicate effectively in French.
