Wood Farm French
At Wood Farm School, we celebrate the many different languages spoken in our school community, and enjoy learning greetings and other words from those of us who come from all around the world.
In Key Stage 2, children also learn French. Pupils are taught to understand, speak, read and write French through an online resource called 'Language Angels'. French is taught by their teacher, using online, interactive resources including pre-recorded native spoken audio, video and a range of fun games, songs and activities.
They explore the French language through a wide variety of everyday topics, such as 'Presenting Myself', 'At the Café', 'My Classroom', 'The Weather' as well as links to other areas of the curriculum, such as 'The Romans', 'The Olympics' and 'Habitats'.
As their understanding develops, pupils begin to hold short conversations, improvising responses using the vocabulary that they have learnt.
