Year 7 outline
In your first year at Chellaston Academy, you will study French for 6 lessons a fortnight. Over the
course of the year, you will look at a number of vocabulary topics such as:
1, Family and friends
2, Clothes and fashion
3, School and opinions
4, Sports and free time
5, Where you live
Through these topics you will develop the skills to become good listeners and readers of the
language and learn how to communicate accurately in speaking and writing. In addition to
becoming more confident with the French language, you will also look at some of the cultural
aspects of French life.
In preparation for studying French at Chellaston you could try to familiarize yourself with the
following:
1, The map of France including towns and surrounding countries.
2, Famous landmarks in Paris. Try looking at Paris through www.geobeats.com. It will give you a
fascinating insight into the Parisian way of life.
3, French food and drink.
4, Other countries around the world where French is spoken.
Equipment
You will be expected to have the following equipment in all lessons;
Pen, pencil, ruler, glue stick, coloured pencils.

language learning skills!
