French for Year 4 (15th July)
Bonjour!
To end the term, here are two puzzles about transport. When you have solved them, see if you can write down (without peeping!) the French for as many means of transport as you can think of. Don't forget that there is one French word for a means of transport that means a completely different means of transport in English!
Bonnes vacances!
French for Year 4 (8th July)
Bonjour!
Following on from last week's work on prepositions, here is some more information on how to say where things are.
You already know the French for 'left' and 'right' and the French for 'inside' and 'outside' is very similar to English.
Can you fill in the gaps on the worksheet? Make sure you copy carefully!
French for Year 4 (1st July)
Bonjour!
In last week's worksheet and in the song about the places on the way to school we saw some French prepositions.
On the worksheet below you will see three more French prepositions. Can you write the correct preposition on the dotted line? For example, the cat is on the table so you write 'sur' which means on.
In the second part of the worksheet, when you draw the pictures, make sure that you check the preposition each time.
Bonne chance!

French for Year 4 (17th June)
Bonjour!
Here is song on YouTube about all the places a French child passes on the way to school. Can you work out what they all are? The pictures make this quite easy but can you remember the French names for the places?
Can you spell them?
Can you work out what is the French for 'there is'?
What do these words mean: devant, derrière, en face de? Clue: they are all prepositions!
You might need to watch the clip more than once!
Here is a short film showing Ben, an English boy, talking to his French friends on his laptop. (It's called Virtually There - France - Finding our way) Don't worry if you don't understand all the French the first time as Ben will explain in English as he goes along. I love this clip as it shows you what a French town really looks like!

Here are the words of the song 'Le port. le port, c'est loin?' Can you name the four places that the person is asking the way to? If you look at the map, you will see what the directions to those places are.
Here is a link to the song. Can you sing along with it? It's fun but it goes quite fast! Can you keep up?

French for Year 4 (4th June)
Bonjour!
Can you ask the way in French by replacing the dots with a place in the town? (As we are very keen on good manners at KPA, try to remember to say 'Please' in French) Why not make an effort to use 'le' and 'la' correctly?
Can you read the directions out loud? (You could make it sound like a rap if you like) Notice that there are two ways of saying 'Go straight ahead'.

Bonjour!
Here is a worksheet with not much writing for you to do, half of which is in English, as it is Half Term after all!
Can you fill in the English meanings of the first six places in the town and then fill in the French meanings of the next six? Looking at your work in the last few weeks should make this easier.
French for Year 4 (20th May)
Bonjour!
Here is a song about places in a French town. Unfortunately it's not on YouTube so you could make up your own tune, if you can't remember the tune from before. (It should sound like a marching song!)
Which French nouns are the same as English ones?
Which ones are nearly the same as English ones?
Which ones are so different that you might have to look them up as they are too hard to guess?
Tricky question! Why in the third line is there an <l'> before <hôtel> even though 'h' is not one of the five vowels (a, e, i,o,u)
Charles de Gaulle is shown to the left of the song. In the picture at the top you can see him meeting other world leaders. Can you name the famous man on the right, sitting to the left of Charles de Gaulle? (An older member of your family might be able to help you with this!)

You will find that this will revise the work we did in the topic 'La ville' (The town) Can you read your sentences out with different expressions?
