French
French is taught across Key Stage 2 and is used in some of our everyday routines. We sing songs; play language games and learn about France and French culture. Most of all, we make it fun!
Rationale - Languages in the Primary Curriculum
The learning of a foreign language provides a valuable educational, social and cultural experience for the pupils.
As set out in the Curriculum a high-quality language education should encourage children’s curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world. The teaching should enable pupils to express their ideas and thoughts in another language and to understand and respond to its speakers, both in speech and in writing. It should also provide opportunities for them to communicate for practical purposes and learn new ways of thinking.
Language teaching should provide the foundation for learning further languages, equipping pupils to study and work in other countries.
