Fun French For Families

The idea behind Fun French for Families is for you and your child to have the opportunity to share some French vocabulary at home. Each month there will be a selection of words or phrases for you to try with your child.  You could also ask your child to tell you their class phrase of the week (Year 3 to 6).  Any opportunity to practise at home will really help them to reinforce what they have learnt!  Even though the infant classes don't yet have formal lessons in French they will benefit from becoming familiar with some words.
If you need any help with pronunciation feel free to ask Heidi Jeffrey or Mrs Lo!
