KS3 & KS4 French curriculum

This unit revisits grammar essential to all at KS4, whilst also challenging with the introduction of complex structures such as negative subject pronouns. Pupils learn these in the context of health and lifestyle matters, describing health issues in the present, offering suggestions for exercise or dietary improvement using impersonal verbs, and using the negative pronouns and adjectives to talk about others. In addition pupils will think about their own lifestyle choices for a healthy future. Pupils will be able to write comprehensively using a range of tenses and grammatical structures.
