In term 1, we are introducing the concept of life in a foreign country. A lot of students would have either first-hand experience or experience in their family of living or growing up abroad. French brings a common ground between all students.
French is a new subject for all students, which means they are all more likely to work collaboratively and to support each other without fear of appearing to know less than other students.
To continue to develop what pupils can say about themselves and their use of verbs. To allow pupils to express and justify their opinions using a range of opinion verbs. Also an opportunity for pupils to learn about schools in
France as well as about Christmas in Francophone countries to coincide with the end of the autumn term.
Three skills are tested in this assessment: Listening, Reading, Writing. Students be further introduced to preparing the paragraph for their Writing prior to the exam: they will develop skills of preparing a script, reviewing based on advice and memorising for the assessment. Grades Bronze to Gold.

We will focus greatly on Literacy, with verb forms at the present tense. This will encourage students to reflect on languages, other than English, that they are familiar with, and to make connections between these languages and French. Quite often, this is a very useful exercise, which develops and deepens their understanding of French.
Students enjoy discussing their hobbies with their peers, as well as discovering activities they haven't thought of trying before. This unit will also give us the opportunity to talk about online safety, which is crucial among young people.
To give pupils the opportunity to learn transactional language (in a café) and introduce the verb aller ahead of teaching the near future tense. Pupils learn about popular French snacks and drinks, and they also have the opportunity to explore Paris.
Students will be assessed on three skills: Listening, Reading, Writing. The assessment will include the content of the unit, as well as elements of study from the beginning of year 7.

Asking for and giving directions: this is a relevant skill to have, both at home and abroad. Promoting exercise and free-time activities: as part of a healthy lifestyle, students' awareness will be brought on the variety of activities that are available to them, at home at school and in the community.
We will learn to give and follow direction in collaborative contexts and games. Students will need to encourage and rely on each other to ensure learning in taking place. We will talk about free-time activities in first and third persons, to encourage communication and discussion between students, in French.
This unit is all about holidays: before (getting ready), during, and future holiday plans. Pupils will discover a range of verb tenses: future, conditional and more on the present, with reflexive verbs.
After this unit, we will work on cross-curricular topics: animals, poetry and art.
The end of year assessment will cover all the content students have studied in the course of the year, with the ability to achieve Grade 2.
