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.

Sound game

This class is working on a cross-curricular project, involving work in English, Drama, History and languages about evacuees during World War 2.

The children have been learning how to pronounce en and an in French. Here they recall how the sounds are written and provide an example of a word containing the sound.  They then play a game of Noughts and Crosses in two teams. One child must choose a word card from a selection on the table, pronounce the word correctly and then place it on the OXO grid.
