Languages

At Cheetham the pupils on our school council chose French to be our target language for KS2. In addition to this, we are keen to foster a passion for learning about languages and other cultures in our EYFS and KS1 children. Therefore, we introduce our Year 1 and 2 children to culture and language through games, activities and stories focusing around intercultural understanding, to initiate and nurture the idea of themselves as citizens of a global community, encouraging them to understand their own cultures and those of others.

In KS2 we use a variety of techniques to encourage the children to have an active engagement in the modern foreign language. These include: games, songs (particularly action songs), and the use of interactive resources. We emphasise the listening and speaking skills over the reading and writing skills.
