Yr 6 French Autumn Term
There is a PowerPoint resource for each lesson. In Yr 6 we anticipate that pupils will have a weekly lesson of between 30-40 minutes. Equally important, however, are the few minutes spent every day re-capping the language learnt each week. This is done with the Class 6 teacher. Suggestions for different activities are included in the Resources column.
Teachers adapt these master copies to suit their classes but ensure that they cover the language and skills as shown on the Scheme of Work.
