French
Our intention at Hayes is to ensure that every key stage 2 child accesses a Languages curriculum that challenges and inspires curiosity and deepens their understanding of the world. They will have an understanding of other cultures as well as a curiosity of the wider world that we live in. We aim for all our children to leave Hayes with the foundations to continue to learn language for practical purposes as well as having the ability to express their thoughts and ideas in another language.
At Hayes, we use the Language Angels scheme of work from Year 3 to Year 6. This scheme allows teachers to deliver high quality French language teaching that builds on previous years learning to develop the foundations of language learning. Weekly, high quality, inspiring lessons taught by teachers with an expert knowledge of the subject using the Language Angels scheme. Language lessons are taught mostly in French using the classroom vocabulary provided by Language Angels. The children are given opportunities to reflect upon their learning; asking questions and giving opinions.

Poisson De Avril
French - Pos
In Giant Tortoises, the children had great fun learning about the French celebration of Poisson d’avril (April Fools day). The children learnt that in France, people stick pictures of fish on each other’s backs. When the fish are discovered, they must shout ‘poisson d’avril’. We really enjoyed re-enacting this French tradition in class.
Pupil Voices:
“We like learning French because we get to see how French people speak and we get to learn new things about different places.”
“The satisfaction that I am learning another language and something that is important to my future. It is important to understand other people who speak another language.”
“You get to learn something new and a new language.”
