Un, Deux, Go!
To implement spaced repetition for learning French numbers, introduce them in small groups and review regularly with increasing intervals. Use varied activities like flashcards, speaking, and writing to reinforce learning. Connect numbers to real-life contexts such as telling time or dates to make practice meaningful. Focus extra review on difficult numbers while spacing out easier ones. As learners progress from Year 3 to Year 6, they move from recognizing and spelling basic numbers to using them confidently in full sentences and more complex contexts, gradually building fluency and understanding over time. This method helps learners remember numbers better and apply them confidently.
Crack le Code - LKS2
The task involved a Year 3 child, completing a crossword puzzle using French numbers from 11 to 20. Each clue showed a digit (e.g., 15), and the children had to recall and correctly spell the French word (like "quinze") to fit the grid.
This activity helps new French learners by reinforcing number vocabulary through active recall and spelling practice. It also improves their attention to detail and boosts confidence in using French in a fun, engaging way, making language learning more enjoyable and effective.
L’Heure Has Come - UKS2
In this task a Year 6 child, looked at pictures of daily routines alongside clock faces and wrote the correct time in French using full sentences, such as Il est huit heures et demie. They practised reading analogue clocks, using number words, understanding time expressions like et demie, and forming simple French sentences. The activity helped them connect routine actions with time, building useful everyday vocabulary.
