At Barrs Court we teach French to children as part of the normal school curriculum. We believe that the earlier a child is exposed to a foreign language, the more quickly that language is aquired. Furthermore, learning a foreign language is an excellent way to develop intercultural understanding.
The children at Barrs Court really enjoy learning French. Here are some of the things we do.
|
We play French games.
We use puppets for role play. |
We write to French children.
We invite native French speakers into the classroom.
Each year we have a French assistant who teaches small groups throughout the school.
Our French assistant for 2008/2009 is Melanie. |
|
We listen to French songs and read French books.
|
Last year we took part in European Languages Day.
