Year 3 – French

Year 3 French

Project Overview

The children have been learning about ice creams in French this half term. Over several weeks they have been learnt how to name and recognise 10 different flavours for ice creams. They also learnt how to write the different flavours in French. Once they were confident with the different flavours they learnt how to politely ask for an ice cream using ‘je voudrais’ (I would like). 

The children then learnt how to say whether they would like a pot or a cornet of ice cream and how many scoops of ice cream they would like.

At the end of the unit the children performed a short role play to order an ice cream.

On our final day, the children visited the class ice cream parlour and ordered their own ice creams.

What The Student Says

“I like French because it is fun and you get to learn a different language.”

“I like French because I have enjoyed learning how to say ice cream in French.”

“I have enjoyed French, it is a fun lesson and I liked learning a different language.” 

What skills were developed?

The children have:

• developed their speaking and listening skills
• developed their French reading and writing skills
•  built on previously learnt French grammar and the use of un or une

What The Teacher Says

The children have really enjoyed their French learning this half term. I have been impressed with their enthusiasm and their want to share their French knowledge. They have kept asking when their next French lesson is and they always try hard with their learning.
