Nord Anglia International School Hong Kong
In French this week, Year 5 students have started a new unit on the topic of ‘La famille et les amis’ (Family and friends). In their lesson this week, they introduced vocabulary related to their families and students used this in tandem with their previously acquired knowledge to be able to produce sentences to tell them who their families are comprised of. In the weeks to come, Year 5 will develop their skills further to describe themselves, their family members and friends.
