Going Shopping

This topic is a great way to introduce key vocabulary about food, clothes, and colours. It also provides children with key phrases which they can put to practical use as part of a role-play activity involving a shopper and shopkeeper. 

Here’s a handy list of some common fruit for your children to use when they’re learning about going shopping in French:

• la pomme - apple
• la poire - pear
• la pêche - peach
• la banane - banana
• la fraise - strawberry
• l’orange - orange
• les raisins - grapes
• la prune - plum

Revisiting Greetings and Numbers to 4b

Counting to 4b0 in French

Languages Day, 26th September      

Every year we have a Languages Day when we learn about another language other than French, as well as about the country.

In Class 3 we looked at the geography of Spain and some Spanish language.   

We enjoyed practising our Spanish, greeting others, introducing ourselves and counting in Spanish.  Then we tried some Spanish food!
