Madame Hole along with Year 5 hosted their fab French assembly this morning. Parents were welcomed in to enjoy, having this audience is wonderful for the children. They all performed incredibly well with Mr Rudkin commenting on how impressive the accents were. Well done!

In French, Year 3 have been learning a poem called ‘Les Arbres’, about trees and their branches. We have used this to discover some more French phonemes, and to listen for rhyme and rhythm in a foreign language; we were able to hear rhyming sounds even when we didn’t know exactly what the words meant….

Year 5 had their French Day this week, and I think they will all agree that we had an amazing time! The children had put a lot of effort into their red, white and blue clothes and looked very stylish. Everyone took part enthusiastically in all our activities: we listened to the story of 14…

Reception are learning lots of parts of the body this term; we’ve been having great fun playing games with the language and singing songs (including, of course, ‘Head, shoulders’!) Here we are performing this song and singing a traditional French nursery rhyme ‘Mes Petites Mains’. Tre bien!  

In the spring term, Pre-Reception are listening to two fairy-tales in French! This half-term we are covering ‘Cendrillon’ (‘Cinderella’), and we have been playing games with the words Cendrillon, le Prince, les deux soeurs, la Bonne Fée and la pantoufle. We are also making our own pictures to use with the story. After half-term we…

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!
