Hexagonie is a unique scheme for introducing Key Stage 2 pupils to French. Language elements are introduced in a logical, easy-to-understand way, so that children quickly communicate with confidence. Language is broken down into manageable chunks and presents them in a methodical manner enabling pupils to feel that they can converse in French. The scheme brings French to life, engaging pupils' imaginations, and furthering their understanding of French language structures. It develops effective learning strategies that can be applied to other languages and across the curriculum. Topics introduced in Hexagonie, Part 2 range from going on holiday, leisure activities and food and drink to time, school life and activities at home. Language points covered include: ce/cet/cette/ces; adjectives, avoir and etre in the present tense; asking questions; possessives; parler and other regular verbs in the present tense; aller in the present tense and faire in the present tense. The topics and activities in this book are designed for 7-13 year olds who have been studying French for a while. If you are a KS3 (Years 7-9; 11-14 year olds) teacher you may wish to order the Year 8 version of this book (9781905780396). It contains the same topics and activities.
