Why this why now
This unit introduces essential early knowledge: the verb ‘être’ to be; the sound-symbol correspondences a,e, i, o, u, eu, the nasal sound an/en, and silent final consonants. Singular regular adjective agreement for gender is key knowledge for describing self and others effectively and high frequency vocabulary is selected to support this communicative aim. Greetings enable them to initiate first interactions in French and a Christmas lesson anchors key sounds. In another unit, pupils extend their knowledge of adjective agreement and apply it to grammatically gendered nouns.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils know what a vowel is
- Pupils knows what a verb is
- Pupils know what an adjective is
