French
‘To learn a language is to have one more window from which to look at the world.’
Chinese Proverb
At St Nicolas School, we celebrate the different languages spoken in our school community, and enjoy learning greetings and other words from those of us who come from all around the world.
In Key Stage 2, children learn French, following the online schemes of work developed by Rachel Hawkes. Pupils are taught to listen, speak, read and write in French. French is taught by class teachers, using interactive resources including pre-recorded native spoken audio, video and a range of fun games, songs and activities.
They explore the French language through a wide variety of everyday topics, such as Animals, Colours, Celebrations, Artists, Food and Drink, Sports and Opinions and Where I live.
Pupils respond with actions and words and as their understanding develops, they begin to hold short conversations, improvising responses using the vocabulary that they have learnt. They learn to follow longer texts and record their ideas using and adapting modelled phrases and sentences.
