Over this term we’ve been learning lots of schoolbag items, and how to say the colour of the item too; we can usually remember to put it after the item! We’ve also been learning how to say which items we have and don’t have.

We have been listening to another French fairytale, ‘Boucle d’Or et les Trois Ours’. We are really good now at naming all the key words in our games, and have even started to learn ‘small, middle-sized and big’ chairs and beds…

Voila! What better way to celebrate all things French than the Year 5 assembly. A true showcase of the wonderful vocabulary, phrases and songs they have learnt this year. Thank you to Madame Hole for putting this together and to our lovely Year 5 for going all out and working hard to make this a…

Ooh la la! Year 5 had their French Immersion Day on Wednesday this week, and had so much fun! We played games with key words and then held our own French Revolution (no children were harmed!) We had an amazing cheese-tasting, very kindly provided and hosted via Zoom by our catering company, and then took…

In Year 5 we have been extending our shopping theme to include shops and new roleplay phrases, and performing these to the class. We have also been learning two very different songs about food…to be revealed at our assembly in June!

This half-term Reception are preparing to read a well-known story in French: ‘Le Petit Chaperon Rouge!’ We have started to learn some key words, and next week we will be listening to the story to see if we can hear those words.

We have been learning lots of snack words over the last few weeks, and this week we finally started reading our story of ‘La chenille qui fait des trous’…’The Very Hungry Caterpillar.’ We can join in with the days of the week, fruit words and food vocabulary in this story, and a few other words…

In Pre-Reception French this term, we have been having lots of fun playing games with wild animal words. Recently we’ve started to learn our colours too, and shortly we will be learning some Christmas words!
