Using the KS2 Framework - Oracy

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.

Colours practice

The Chinese language assistant and the school’s Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) have worked together to develop a programme of study linking Chinese culture and language.

Here the assistant revises the colours, using a series of short activities to enable children to practise and learn without becoming bored.
