Introduction

Learning an additional language gives us an opportunity to look at the world differently. It breaks down barriers and encourages us to be more open minded. It helps us to communicate and to be more tolerant of others in a rapidly changing world. It also encourages aspirations to travel and broaden our horizons. At Seaburn Dene, we celebrate and welcome differences within our school community; this is reflected in our language lessons which embrace not only the language being taught, but also the culture of the countries where the language is spoken.

Curriculum Map: Year 3-6

Our French curriculum has been designed to engage our learners using topics which they will find interesting. 

Examples of Children's Work - Letters from our partner school in Brittany

Year 3 learned the finger rhyme 'Deux Petits Chatons' (Two Little Kittens). They also made finger puppets to recite the rhyme.

Home Learning

Children love to share their language learning at home. Encourage your child to sing you the songs we have been learning, count in French and tell you the new words they have been learning.

Here are some interesting websites and videos to enhance learning at school. We hope you enjoy them.
