Using the KS2 Framework - Literacy

The Key Stage 2 Framework for Languages sets out the rationale for language learning in primary schools and defines the skills, knowledge and understanding that children should develop as they begin their language learning apprenticeship.

The Framework is based on sound principles of primary pedagogy. It sets out learning objectives across five strands, Oracy, Literacy, Intercultural Understanding, Knowledge about Language and Language Learning Strategies. It is inclusive and for all children. It recognises that language is central to the development of individual identity and that education in language and culture plays a vital part in shaping the future of our world community.

Haunted house

In this activity children are reading a new text and beginning to understand new words. First they see some exciting, animated e-pictures of rooms in a haunted house. They go on to work in pairs to decipher sentences in French about the pictures, making links with previous knowledge and English, deducing the meaning of key words and forming rules about spelling and sounds.
