Languages

At Christ Church First School, we want to foster a love of learning a foreign language and to build a solid language learning foundation. All Children in Topaz class will have access to learning French using the Language Angels scheme of work and resources. This will progressively develop pupil skills in foreign languages through regularly taught and well-planned weekly lessons in Key Stage 2 which will be taught by class teachers.

Children will progressively acquire, use and apply a growing bank of vocabulary, language skills and grammatical knowledge organised around age-appropriate topics and themes – building blocks of language into more complex, fluent and authentic language. Learning a foreign language is part of the primary National Curriculum and is a requirement for all children within key stage 2 (KS2).

Our aim is to develop the confidence and competence of each child in the foreign language they are learning. Our goal is for them to be passionate, curious and confident about their own foreign language learning abilities when they finish the primary school phase of their education.

We will help them develop and demonstrate substantial progress in the 5 key language skills necessary for learning French, which are:

Speaking
Listening
Reading
Writing
Grammar
