KS3 & KS4 German curriculum

Learning from a number of previous units is consolidated here including the imperfect and perfect tenses Pupils extend and deepen their knowledge of word order, vocabulary and adjective endings with longer descriptions of a place they know well and narrating what they saw and did at an event. Numbers and telling the time are revisited and towards the end of the unit, pupils practise their knowledge with a picture description and preparing questions for an interview. The island of Sylt provides cultural context, as well local greetings in Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
