French

We aim that by the time pupils leave the Federation of Hanbury’s Farm and Oakhill Primary they will be confident to speak in basic French for a range of situations as well as being able to listen and respond in French.

Our intent is that all pupils will develop a genuine interest and positive curiosity about foreign languages, finding them enjoyable and stimulating.  Learning French will also offer pupils the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of other cultures and the world around them with a better awareness of self, others and cultural differences. 

The aim is that they will be working towards becoming life-long language learners. We follow the Kapow Primary scheme of work which focusses on three building blocks of language - phonics, vocabulary and grammar. Further information is shown below. 

Below you will find the long term plan for Year 3 - Year 6 classes. In addition, every year we celebrate Bastille Day to offer an opportunity for all children (including Early Years and KS1) to be exposed to some French language and vocabulary.
