Vision Statement
Together we inspire one another to love learn respect and forgive, rooted and built up in Christ, so that every member of our school community can develop and flourish; united in mutual respect with a sense of belonging.
Intent of the teaching and learning of MFL
We want our children to have a wide range of cultural opportunities and an experience of speaking another language.
We aim to foster pupil’s curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world.
We teach our children to be respectful of other cultures and live-out British values of tolerance and respect.
Implementation of the teaching and learning of MFL
We teach French throughout Key Stage 2, using the Grammarsaurus resources and scheme of work.
The lessons are designed to motivate children from the first moment and have clear, achievable objectives as well as incorporating creative and practical activities.
Each lesson, children build on the skills that they have already learnt and develop new ones through a range of fun, exciting and engaging activities:
- learning French vocabulary
- asking and answering questions
- following instructions in French
- reinforcing memory with mime and physical actions
- playing games and learning songs
- video clips
- teaching of basic French grammar, sentence structure and spelling patterns
- learning about life in France
Impact of the teaching and learning of MFL
We will see the impact of the teaching of French in a variety of ways:
- Children will be able to communicate with each other in French
- Children will become aware that a language has a structure, they differ from one language to another
- Children will develop their language through development of the four key skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing
