At Double Bay Public School students attend French class weekly. French is taught in a fun and interactive way. Stories are shared and re-enacted through games and role-plays. Students actively participate in songs, chants, and games.
Through stories, songs, chants, and games, students learn phrases and extend their French vocabulary. Students are encouraged to become ‘language detectives’ and are constantly on the ‘look out’ for the differences and similarities between the English and French language. Students often compare cultures in order to understand and appreciate our own better.
Lessons in French are based on various themes that are covered throughout the year. Students look at a specific theme for a given number of weeks, learning the French language while also gaining an understanding and appreciation of the French culture.
