French

All year groups are taught French once a week for a half hour and by the end of year 3 the boys will be able:

- To count up to 40
- To respond to simple classroom commands
- To greet someone
- To answer to simple questions about themselves
- To ask politely and thank someone
 -To ask for 5 to 10 utensils used in the classroom
- To say the days of the week
- To spell their name and be familiar with the alphabet in French
- To remember 80 to 100 words
- To name the capital of France
- To tell a few French customs relating to their age group.
