A nurturing environment, inspiring achievement
French
“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.” – Nelson Mandela
Learning a foreign language is a crucial part of being a member of a multi-cultural society and provides an opening to other cultures. A high-quality language education should open up the children’s curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world.
It is our intent that in the Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) curriculum here at Conifers Primary School we are supporting and exposing the children and giving them opportunities to foster their curiosity and a deeper understanding of the world in general. We believe that learning to understand, speak, read and write in another language during Key Stage 2 will provide the basis for learning other languages, which will in turn provide important opportunities for future study and work in other countries. In our school, we teach French using the Primary languages Network Programme. - - - (read more)

How to Play the Memory Games

In the Memory Games you must click on two numbered tiles, one after the other, to match the word with the picture.

If the pair did not match they will turn back again.

If you click on the correct word and picture the tiles will stay turned around.

If they do not match then remember where the words and pictures were then try another pair.

Keep trying until you match all of the words to all of the pictures.
