MFL
Modern Foreign Languages at Kingsley School
At Kingsley School, we believe that learning a new language is a gateway to understanding different cultures, enhancing communication skills, and broadening horizons. Our Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) program is designed to ignite a passion for languages and equip our children with valuable skills for the future.
French from Year 3 to Year 6
French is a core part of the curriculum at Kingsley, taught from Year 3 through to Year 6. Lessons are engaging, interactive, and tailored to suit the developmental stage of our learners. Following the Primary Languages Network programme of study, children explore French through speaking, listening, reading, and writing activities, building confidence and fluency in a fun and supportive environment.
From learning basic greetings and vocabulary in Year 3 to constructing full sentences and engaging in conversations by Year 6, our French program ensures that children make consistent progress. Cultural enrichment is woven into our lessons, helping students appreciate French traditions, food, and customs.
Spanish Club with Miss Speed
In addition to French, Miss Speed runs a Spanish club, open to all children in Years 1-6 who are eager to explore another language. The club is a wonderful opportunity for children to immerse themselves in Spanish, learning key phrases and discovering the rich cultural heritage of Spanish-speaking countries. We enjoy learning a new language and the customs of another country in a relaxed and interactive setting.
European Day of Languages
This year, Kingsley proudly celebrated the European Day of Languages, an event that highlighted the importance of linguistic diversity and cultural appreciation. Each year group explored a different country, tasting a typical food, learning some related facts and participated in a range of activities, including quizzes, language taster sessions, and an art task. It culminated in a special assembly showcasing the benefits of language learning. It was a day full of creativity, collaboration, and curiosity that underscored the value of being part of a multilingual world.
