French : Les instructions

This week, we began our brand-new French unit, where the children will be learning to understand, respond to and say a range of common classroom instructions. It has been a fantastic start!

During our first lesson, we explored some key phrases that will help us follow simple directions in French — things like écoutez (listen), regardez (look), and asseyez-vous (sit down). The children enjoyed practising these new words and using actions to show what each instruction means.

Even after just one week, many of the children were already able to recall several of the instructions confidently and demonstrate their understanding through movement. It’s wonderful to see their enthusiasm and growing confidence in using French around the classroom!

The picture below shows all of the instructions that the children will be learning as part of this unit. We can’t wait to see how their understanding and pronunciation develop over the coming weeks.
