Our French Curriculum
Our Vision:
Wakefield is a hugely cultural diverse city and at Sandal Castle Primary School our children speak over thirty languages - therefore, our primary languages curriculum reflects our curiosity and enthusiasm for languages as well as an understanding of our multicultural world.
Our children are able to develop their linguistic skills but also build a picture of themselves as global citizens in an inclusive world.
At Sandal castle Primary School, we use an award winning primary languages provider, Lingotot West Yorkshire, to deliver weekly French across KS2.
Lingotot’s curriculum focuses on the three pillars of language learning; ensuring children are taught in an enjoyable and stimulating manner. They build the children’s skills and confidence through songs, games, stories, outdoor learning, drama and role play whilst also providing formative and summative assessments.
Please see the links below for more information about our primary language curriculum.
Language Bee
This week in our French lessons, we have been taking part in the Lingotot Language Bee. This has helped us to recall key words and phrases which will help us in our French learning.
Here are some photos of our Year 6s taking part and our Year 3 finalists.
Congratulations to our Language Bee first round winners!
