'Bonjour et bienvenue à la section Française du site de l'école primaire Stainton'
Hello and welcome to the French section of the Stainton
Primary School Website
At Stainton C of E Primary School, we teach French as our chosen Modern Foreign Language.
Children begin a small amount of foreign language and French awareness in Key Stage 1 through a cross curricular approach.
In Key Stage 2, children receive French lessons each term, each with a different focus. These lessons teach children vocabulary, common phrases and grammatical rules. Children in KS2 also work through learning numbers progressively which is taught through a cross curricular approach throughout the year.
Children learn by listening to, reading, writing and speaking French. It is taught interactively through songs and games.
The table below shows the progressive unit of learning for each year group in KS2.
