Embedded Files
In all year groups, we do 6 units of work studying the french culture and language. These are paralleled in every class, so that Autumn first half term is always the french language and numbers, for example. We do a great deal of recap and recall work at the beginning of each lesson so that important language becomes embedded over time.
In year 1, we concentrate on learning our first words and phrases. We concentrate on pronunciation and tone. We write some short words and phrases as we begin to master them.
Then, in year 2, we begin to learn more complex multi-word phrases and clauses. We also improve our vocabulary and develop our ideas.
There is now the opportunity for the children to record longer sentences.
During year 3, pupils start recording much more in their books. We focus on spellings, pronunciation, and grammar.
The pupils' long-term memory is beginning to develop, and they are beginning to use words that they are secure in.
In year 4 and year 5, the complexity increases as the vocabulary develops. Longer sentences are now possible - both in spoken and written form.
And finally, in year 6, we bring it all together. We also develop pupils' historical and geographical knowledge of the french culture.
