French

French is taught in years 5 and 6 mainly through interactive speaking and listening activities, with some reading and written work. The children are given the opportunity to experience life in France and try out their language skills during an annual trip for Year 5 pupils to St Brieuc. There is an exciting range of activities including ice skating, visiting a supermarket and site seeing.

Those who stay in Guernsey have a local ‘French Experience’ and have the opportunity to immerse themselves in French customs and traditions as well as visiting places with a French influence in Guernsey.

A link with a school in Lingreville, Normandy has been made and Year 6 children correspond with a pen pal practising their French and learning about each other’s ways of life.
