Intent
Children at Yohden Primary School will develop an interest in and thirst for learning other languages such as French. They will develop resilience in language learning as well as the enjoyment of it. Our children will acquire language-learning strategies for memorisation and retrieval as well as for listening, reading and understanding. We aim for our children to appreciate and to be able to copy the sound of the language at text level through songs, stories and rhymes. As well as manipulating language to speak or write sentences creatively using prior knowledge of grammar and key features. They will have some understanding of cultural differences and similarities. At Yohden Primary School, we have chosen French as our Modern Foreign Language focus, which is taught from Year 3 to Year 6. This will enable our children to build a good foundation of the language before moving on to Key Stage 3 French at one of the local secondary schools.
