CC Feedback Spring Term

The children were amazing and it was lovely to hear them talk excitedly about their French lessons with you.

Children were able to confidently compare France to the UK. They said that they knew that they don’t use capital letters for months and days of the week and that the adjective is placed in a different place within a noun phrase. They also were able to locate it on a map and knew they used a different currency to us.

They discussed how people in France have different traditions to the UK at Christmas and Easter and that they loved the lessons where they learnt about these traditions.

All classes are using Rigolo to teach and the children love this time.

They were able to share what they knew about the French people they have learnt about this half term. The boys especially loved learning about French footballers!

I asked them why we are learning to speak French and they said, ‘its so cool that we can speak to other French people when we go on holiday’ and ‘it will be easier when we go to high school and have French lessons there’.

They love playing games in their lessons such as bingo, around the world and matching pairs. They see their French lessons as fun.

All children were able to share what they have been learning this half-term.

One class mentioned that they were using Kahoot in their French lessons and the other children were really excited about the prospect of this – is this something you could try to include?

Children were very interested in what music French children listen to, this website shows the current top 40 singles in France. Please will you share one ever so often with your class and discuss. French Singles Chart | Official Charts

Children love learning French through songs so try to include these in your lessons when you can – please let me know if you need appropriate songs.

The boys were extremely enthusiastic when they discussed French footballers. They said they would like to know more about French football teams. They have heard of PSG and Marseille, this could be a 2 minute discussion where you share basic facts, a map of its location and images of what the area these teams are from looks like and how it compares to where we live.
