MFL

Promoting and valuing culture and diversity is a key virtue we wish to instil in our pupils when being creative and expressing themselves. We believe one aspect of this is having the ability to learn about different countries around the world, including the languages they speak. Our core learning for Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) sees our children learning to speak French. Basing our teaching at an age appropriate level, our children have the opportunity to learn and speak key words, phrases and sentences in an engaging way. As well as teaching our children French, we also utilise on some of our pupil’s ability to speak a second language and incorporate this into our classrooms.

By the time our pupils leave London Colney, we intend to;

• Promote diversity and cultural appreciation through the learning of French. Our children will learn to speak French with increasing confidence, being able to recall words, phrases and sentences when required. Our children will make ambitious attempts to write in French to express their thinking.
• Develop respect of other countries and create interested and inquisitive children who are keen to learn about French culture and lifestyle, leading to globally minded citizens.
