Bonjour Year 4!

 Last week, Year 4 were extremely lucky to welcome a French acting company into school. 

The actors did not speak English to the children so it was a great test of their resilience and basic French knowledge learnt at Broadford.

The children had to build a TV show with the actors all in French. The children became part of the show and practiced some French with support from the actors.

There were lots of laughs to be had and the children gave us great reviews afterwards!

"I couldn't understand everything but I did recognise some words!" - Anya

"They were so funny, even in French!" - Max

Fabulous French!

 

In French this week, the children began their lesson by reactivatng their knowledge of numbers from 1-31. The children demonstrated great reciprocity when they were stuck or could not remember how to say the numbers in French by encouraging and supporting one another.

The children then moved to learning the days of the week. They took it in turns to say the days of week in order, using my turn your turn and then had to answer questions about the different days. The children showed resilience and resourcefulness when working together for the task of ordering the days of the week. 

Onyeka-' I love learning through a song.'

Alexandra - 'I enjoyed when we were singing the days of the week altogether.'

Harry - 'Monday is the easiest day to remember.'

This week in French the children were introduced to their new topic 'Chez Moi'. The children began the lesson using MT/YT to learn the new vocabulary for the different rooms in your home. The children showed great resilience learning the new vocabulary and sharing their knowledge with each other. After lots of discussion and partner talk the children used their reciprocity skills to work in groups to match the picture of the room and the correct vocabulary. 

Super French Year 3 !

This week in French, the children continued with their unit on French clothing. We started by reactivating our learning from the previous week and using MT/YT to recap the clothing we had learnt last week. The children showed great resilience learning the new items and worked with great receprocity to match the clothing and the correct french word. The children continued by choosing a picture of a person dressed in different items of clothing and wrote sentences describing the pictures.

"I liked pointing to my partners clothes and naming them in french." - Ayla

“I wish we could do French everyday!” - Zariyah

 This week in French, the children began their next topic 'Parts of the Body' The children were introduced to the new vocabulary for the different parts of the body, we used a lot of 'My Turn, Your Turn'  and then the children worked with their partner to recap each part. They listened to a song to help them to remember the correct pronunciation of each part.

The children then went on to complete a challenge of matching the part of the body picture cards to the correct vocabulary. All children showed great resilience while learning the different parts of the body and use their reciprocity skills to work together to complete the challenge.

In French this week, the children began their lesson by reactivatng their learning of numbers from 1-31. All children were given a bingo card and had to be the first one to call 'Bingo' as their teacher called out the different French numbers. The children showed great reciprocity when playing bingo, encouraging each other and cheering for the winner. 

After they completed bingo, the children began their lesson on 'Days of the week' and took it in turns to say the days of week in order, using my turn your turn and then had to answer questions about the different days. The children showed resilence when working together for the task of ordering the days of the week.

Over the past two weeks the children have been learning their French numbers up to 20. The children have watched videos and learnt songs to aid their learning. They have used their reciprocity skills to work together as a group to complete challenges as well as showing great resilience when completing their matching pair number game. 

Over the next few weeks the children will be learning about French greetings and having conversations in small groups.
