Mon petit livret de français

- Bridging Materials to get ready for

French at Harrogate Grammar School.

How to use your petit livret: You have seven pages of little activities, so you can do one page per week

in the holidays.

Work your way through the activities on the page. You can do them in any

order you like. Each page will help you write your own mini paragraph at

the end.

Tick the box once you complete an activity.

For every 4 ticked off, you will get a HGS “positive” when you show

your new French teacher in September.

Pierre’s memory challenge: You will have one memory challenge per

week. Learn 10 words or expressions from the page and ask someone to

test you. Write the amount you got correct in the box at the bottom of

the page.

Here are a few tips on how to learn new words:

Writing them out.

Making your own card games.

Saying them out loud (perhaps making a song).

Making your own games on the computer.

This website is really good for practising:

www.linguascope.com (username: harrogate, password: coche)

Go to “beginner” then “bonjour” and you will find good games to

help you practise the words.

Bonjour! Je m’appelle Pierre! I hope you enjoy all of the little activities in

this booklet. I will be with you every step of the way!

Bienvenue! Welcome to HGS French! We’re really looking forward to seeing you all in September and helping you to do really well in languages, as

well as having lots of fun. Some of you will study Spanish and some of you will study German, but all of you will

study French. As you have all done slightly different amounts of French at Primary School we thought we’d

make a little booklet of activities to help you either catch up a bit or practise some French over the holidays.

We hope you find it useful - it should help us to make a flying start to French lessons in September!
