It is with great pleasure that we introduce French into the Year 2 curriculum
for the first time in 2005!



Each class will receive one 40 minute lesson per week. The greater emphasis will be on the aural/oral skills. Writing will involve simple labelling and copying exercises.

Since this is the first year at this level, there will be some overlap of the topics begun in Year 3, because these students, too, are beginning French for the first time.

The proposed topics to be covered are:

Introductions

Dates

Colours

Greetings

The seasons

Age

Farewells

The French Alphabet

Family

Months of the year

Days of the week

Numbers 1 - 31


As for culture, such as vital element of any Language Other Than English, we will focus on festivals, important holidays, introduce France, French customers and the French-speaking world in general.

Classes will be taught by Mme Sally Holt in the French Room, Room 50.

Please give your child every encouragement in this new venture by asking them what they are learning and to show you their French scrapbook from time to time.
