French
As members of the Primary Languages Network, we implement a curriculum that is progressive throughout Key Stage Two. Within the scheme of work, planning and resources are designed to maximise the skills and experience of the teacher delivering the language lessons. French is taught in regular, discrete lessons covering one unit per half term. In MFL, skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing in another language are developed through a multi-sensory approach, such as rhymes, songs, stories and repetition.
Learning languages is fun! Year 3 children have the opportunity to take our resident French bear 'Norbert' home with them for a week to extend their vocabulary within their everyday lives. We also have strong links with Rochdale's French Twin Town of Tourcoing through Les Amis De Rochdale, whose members we have welcomed to our school.
The following Knowledge Organisers can support your work in French:
Here is an example of a Knowledge Organiser. They can be downloaded so you can hear the key vocabulary and sounds for each unit of work.
