Welcome back to @StMargaretsPrep What a fantastic start to the autumn term for Year 1 in French! They can identify and say the different parts of the face so well already. Bravo tout le monde! #IgnitingInterests

It was so impressive to see our pupils in year 2 and above @StMargaretsPrep as they overcame their natural reticence and showed curiosity and open-mindedness towards a very French tradition. A big merci to our Year 6 helpers who did an amazing job serving snails and drinks today.

Fantastic effort and progress from Year 5 @StMargaretsPrep this week during their French lesson on times using the twelve hour clock! It was so rewarding to see so many of you manipulate these tricky minutes on the “to” side with increasing accuracy. Bravo! #InspiringExcellence

Great focus and attention to detail in Year 4 @StMargaretsPrep as the children learn how to ask for the time in French and start exploring how to give a suitable answer #FosteringExploration

After identifying a few sports in French, Year 5 @StMargaretsPrep have worked together and recycled their prior knowledge of two regular _ER verbs in the present tense to work out the endings of "Jouer" when used with different subject pronouns. Well done! #FosteringExploration

Welcome back to @StMargaretsPrep after the Easter break! What an outstanding start to the summer term in French with our Nursery children! Here is an extract of their song "Regarde-moi". #IgnitingInterests

Here is the song Year 2 @StMargaretsPrep have used to practise different types of transport in French: "Voyager C’est Facile" (Travelling Is Easy). Such a fun song! Thank you @LanguageAngels_ #inspiringExcellence #IgnitingInterests

The members of the French Club @StMargaretsPrep would like to share their rendition of "L’Araignée Gypsie" with you. Can you work out which song it is? #InspiringExcellence #FosteringExploration

Year 3 @StMargaretsPrep learnt an impressive range of weather phrases in French thanks to the song "Quel Temps Fait-il?". #InspiringExcellence #IgnitingInterests

Reception @StMargaretsPrep revisited their prior knowledge of colours in French, before adding a few new ones. They identified all of them successfully when we read a French version of "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?". Bravo! #IgnitingInterests #FosteringExploration

Year 2 @StMargaretsPrep have practised days of the week and key types of transport in French before deciphering sentences on different journeys. #IgnitingInterests #Perseverance

Year 4 @StMargaretsPrep enjoyed working out the meaning of a few key words for members of the family in French this week. #IgnitingInterests

Reception @StMargaretsPrep sing their French song on days of the week. Well done everybody. #IgnitingInterests #FosteringExploration

Great excitement in Year 6 @StMargaretsPrep as our pupils received their first letters from their pen pals in l’École Charles de Foucauld in Beaugency. #Collaboration #Communication

Reception and Year 1 @StMargaretsPrep focused on the tradition of the "Épiphanie" this week in French. They loved eating a piece of "couronne des rois", as French children do during the month of January. #FrenchCulture #Curiosity

Reception @StMargaretsPrep enjoyed joining in with a French nursery rhyme called "Je Fais le Tour de ma Maison" this morning. Here they are pretending they are locking up their house at night time, before going to bed.

Here is a video of Year 1 @StMargaretsPrep signing "Au Jardin Public" during today’s French lesson. Well done everybody! #communication #learningthroughsongs

Today, the Fledglings @StMargaretsPrep practised a nursery rhyme called "Toc,Toc, Toc! Monsieur Pouce" in French.

Year 6 @StMargaretsPrep focused on word order and on the agreement of a wide range of adjectives to describe people’s eyes and hair today. Great effort and progress all round. Bravo!#perseverance #communication
