Little linguists and progression !

When Y3 beginners only have one French lesson a week it's easy to underestimate just how much they can achieve !

However, there is a clear progression within each unit the children cover in Y3.  Language is then systematically revised and extended throughout the rest of KS2.  Clear objectives are always given and a programme of work is planned which is appropriate for different ability groups.  

Y3 children may only be seven or eight years old, but since KS2 primary languages became statutory in September 2014 in the UK, this is where trying to inspire a future generation of linguists begins !

Y3 recently wrote a short paragraph using some of the language they have covered so far this academic year.  It certainly looks impressive, especially since they remembered that months of the year don't need a capital letter in French and some letters have accents !

Bravo les enfants !

Vous faites des progrès !  Continuez comme ça !
