Modern Foreign Languages (French) @ Kirkburton First
The Intent of Modern Foreign Languages at Kirkburton
At Kirkburton our modern foreign language is French. The National Curriculum requires us to teach a modern foreign language in Key Stage 2 so the classes are taught French fom Class 3. We want children to become confident learners so provide opportunities for speaking, listening, reading and writing, to increase their cultural capital and encourage them to think of themselves as part of a wider global community. Our curriculum is designed in partnership with Kirkburton Middle School with the intention of providing the children with a good foundation of basic vocabulary and common phrases.
The Implementation of Modern Foreign Languages at Kirkburton
Our French curriculum is carefully planned to ensure knowledge progression and has been written with direct input from Kirkburton Middle School, to ensure that the children can enter the next phase of their education with the requisite knowledge and skills they need to succeed.
To introduce children to learning a language in a fun and interactive way, lessons are supplemented with the use of songs and games.
