Modern Foreign Languages
MFL Intent
At Christ Church our MFL curriculum is designed to progressively develop children’s skills in languages, building on the Communication and Language skills they already have, by acquiring, using and applying a growing bank of vocabulary organised around topics.
Children in Key Stage 2 will access first quality teaching of French in order to adequately prepare them for the future and give them a greater understanding of the wider world. Key Stage 1 children will be introduced to MFL through exploring other languages informally when appropriate. Through this we strive to encourage children’s curiosity and awareness of other cultures.

Year 3
In Year 3, the children had an introduction to French. They looked at greetings in French and practised these each morning and afternoon for the register. They also looked at counting up to 20 in French and listened to lots of songs to help them learn these. They learnt the months of the year in French and now they can tell people their birthday month in French.
Here is a fantastic display in Chichester's classroom to help them remember key vocabulary!
