Multi Pertransibunt Et Augebitur Scientia

French

Learning a new language encourages children and young people to broaden their horizons as they explore the language and its associated culture.

 Through my learning of a new language:

  • I gain a deeper understanding of my first language and appreciate the richness and interconnected nature of languages
  • I enhance my understanding and enjoyment of other cultures and of my own and gain insights into other ways of thinking and other views of the world
  • I develop skills that I can use and enjoy in work and leisure throughout my life.

The study of language plays an important role in all language learning and the development of literacy skills.

 I develop and extend my literacy skills when I have opportunities to:

  • communicate, collaborate and build relationships
  • reflect on and explain my literacy and thinking skills, using feedback to help me improve and sensitively provide useful feedback for others
  • engage with and create a wide range of texts in different media, taking advantage of the opportunities offered by ICT
  • develop my understanding of what is special, vibrant and valuable about my own and other cultures and their languages
  • explore the richness and diversity of language, how it can affect me and the wide range of ways in which I and others can be creative
  • extend and enrich my vocabulary through listening, talking, watching and reading.
