  • broaden our knowledge of the language through a wider vocabulary base and through learning to use this vocabulary in a variety of situations,
  • learn how to talk about our past experiences (where we went on holiday, what we did yesterday...) and our future plans (what we are going to do tonight, this weekend, next year…),
  • hear about and sometimes experience French public holidays and celebrations (e.g. eating a galette des rois),
  • do virtual visits of Paris,
  • set up our own café or restaurant and try French food,

  • can choose to sit the DELF A1 exam (official qualification awarded by the French Ministry of Education).
  • and a lot more too.



Year 10 French topics:
We cover a range of new topics and we also go deeper into topics that we looked at in Year 9. We loosely follow the Studio 2 Rouge textbook by Pearson Education.

Screen and reading habits - what do I watch? What do I read? How do I use technology? How often? Why?

Holidays – when did I go there? With whom? How? What did I do there? How was it?

Paris – tourist activities and attractions. Designing an ideal itinerary.

My home life – where do I live? What is it like? What is its layout? Comparing objects. Meal times.

Who am I and who are the people around me? – how would I describe myself? Who do I get along with? What is my clothing style?

Talent shows – what is my talent? Giving advice. Giving excuses. Saying what or who is the best and the worst.

French café culture – creating a menu. Making a cooking video. Selling food. Ordering food.
