"Learning a foreign language is a liberation from insularity and provides an opening to other cultures. A high-quality languages education should foster pupils’ curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world."
National Curriculum, DfE 2014
We use the Kapow French Scheme as the base for our KS2 languages curriculum. Our cyclical curriculum, underpinned by our school vision, mission (RACE: Respect, Aspiration, Community, Enquiring Minds) and values, focuses on the development of our pupils’ language learning skills, which we call language detective skills. Throughout the scheme of work, children will also be developing their Cultural awareness of France and the French-speaking world. These techniques underpin our 5 core curriculum strands below and our pupils revisit these throughout KS2. Each time they revisit an aspect of key vocabulary and grammar, it is with increasing complexity to build on their prior knowledge and develop fluency. Each half term taught unit has a different vocabulary focus, which is highlighted in our curriculum overview. Each unit also has its own knowledge organiser (KO) which pupils have access to throughout the unit and to use at home. French is taught weekly as a discrete lesson within KS2 and then revisited during the week in short bursts to consolidate new learning.
