Progression - Extending language

The Key Stage 2 Framework for Languages sets out a clear structure for progression over four years. Expectations and Outcomes describe what most children should be able to do by the end of the year.

The Learning Objectives for each of the three core strands, Oracy, Literacy and Intercultural Understanding show how to plan the next steps in a cohesive programme of learning. The two cross-cutting strands of Knowledge about Language and Language Learning Strategies underpin the core strands and help children to develop language learning skills for life.

Compound sentences

Children have been learning about the planets, in French. Here they are using their knowledge about sentence construction in English in order to build longer sentences in French, guided by their class teacher. They go on to write a long compound sentence about one planet and read it aloud.
