We know how much our children in Key Stage 2 love their French lessons. We also recognise that it is important to do lots of practice when you are learning something new. Below, Madame Wild, our French teacher, has put together some useful resources to recap the key areas of learning.
We recommend that you find activities linked to areas you have already covered in French. This will help to keep the learning whizzing around your brains and enable you to remember more of it.

Vocabulary Practice
By regularly practising vocabulary we can embed these words into our long term memory. A good, fun way of doing this is through playing/completing online games and activities.
We are very lucky to be able to subscribe as a school to Linguascope. This online website describes itself as 'The World's Number 1 Interactive Language Site.' As a member of our school community your child/ren can access this site using our unique username and password, from any device at home or at school. If your child/ren cannot remember this username/password then they can ask Madame Wild at school who can help them with this. (Unfortunately, due to the licence agreement, this information cannot be posted here).
You can tailor your child/ren's practice to the specific topics covered in their year of study by referring to the French Progression Sheet found on the school website; Teaching & Learning/Foundation Subjects/MFL.
