TEAM HOME SCHOOL
Welcome to Team Home School, together we can do this!
​
Each week I will be adding a new video teaching families some fun French.
Les enfants - children - this is a good time to teach Mum and Dad and show
them what you know! Each week you will have a new:
- lesson in Team Home School with ideas of games and activities to do as a family
- story in our Story Time section
- song in our Sing Along section
Please keep me posted with pics of the activities you
complete and let me know if I can share them on the
website for your friends and family to see.

"Experts agree that foreign-language learning can give kids a leg up in many areas of their lives, both now and in the future, with benefits ranging from academic achievement and career success to better interpersonal relationships. Research shows it’s helping them become better thinkers, better learners, and better citizens of the world. Simply put, learning a second language can help kids improve their academic performance across the board. "

Our children are engaged with energetic, well planned and imaginative lessons. The link to a French school has helped to make French relevant and our children have also learned about French culture. Teaching is differentiated to meet the needs within each cohort and the children love it!
