Quoi de neuf? What's new?
Autumn Term 1 2020:
-
Year 3 and 4 have been learning to introduce themselves, say numbers 1-10 and give their age.
-
Year 5 and year 6 have been building more complex sentences by saying what school subjects they like and dislike and why. They are practising numbers 1-60 and are practising how to tell the time in French.
-
Like cooking? A French recipe booklet with simple traditional recipes is available here thanks to the brilliant Madame Birtwistle for you to try at home.
