French
Modern Foreign Languages at Winsford High Street!
At High Street, we believe that having knowledge of a modern foreign language empowers children in laying foundations for a fabulous start at languages in key stage 3. We choose to focus on the French language, with the heart being practical communication.
We encourage the children to take part in a variety of speaking and listening activities, which they thoroughly enjoy and engage in before any writing takes place. These include:
- Communicating ideas, facts and feelings through drama and role play
- Speaking in sentences and engaging in simple conversations
- Focusing on basic phonology and grammatical structures of the language
- Exploring patterns and sounds of the language through stories, poems, songs and rhymes
After developing these speaking and listening skills, the children then deepen their learning by writing phrases from memory using French dictionaries and support from their skilled teachers, aiding them in creating new sentences, which express their ideas clearly.
We believe in making French lessons as practical and fun as possible, to enable children to achieve in a great skill for life!
Au revoir et merci beaucoup!
