At Great Linford Primary School the key language we focus on is French. We use the Language Angels Scheme to support us with this learning journey.
Our main focus is to give the children the opportunity to access a Modern Foreign Language from an early age in order to help foster their curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world. We hope that this will provide them with a better chance of grasping and developing their language skills when they go to their chosen secondary school.
By the time they leave Great Linford Primary School, the children should be able to identify a variety of vocabulary and understand some basic grammar points in the language they have studied. 
The national curriculum for languages aims to ensure that all pupils:
  • understand and respond to spoken and written language from a variety of authentic sources
  • speak with increasing confidence, fluency and spontaneity, finding ways of communicating what they want to say, including through discussion and asking questions, and continually improving the accuracy of their pronunciation and intonation
  • can write at varying length, for different purposes and audiences, using the variety of grammatical structures that they have learnt
  • discover and develop an appreciation of a range of writing in the language studied

Year 6 French Restaurants

In year 6, we learnt about French food and how to order food in a restaurant. We created our own menus and then practised ordering food from each other's menus. We then had to draw the food we ordered onto plates to check we ordered correctly!
