Combien de minutes?
In French this week Westgate have used their knowledge of French numbers to calculate time differences. They began the lesson by recapping telling the time and then learned how to count in fives in French using a matching game before moving on to solving some maths time problems. They practised using the very useful phrase “il y a”. [there is/are]

Quelle heure est-il?
Westgate began their French lesson by recapping how to tell the time for o’clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to times.
Once they had practised telling the time, they looked at some school timetables, showing the French words for various school lessons. They used these timetables to learn the prepositions “avant” [before] and “apres” [after].
They practised using this new vocabulary orally with their partner before consolidating their learning by writing them out in complete phrases.

C’est quel jour?
This week in French, Year 3 began by recapping the numbers they learned in the last lesson by doing some simple maths with time information. They gave their answers using French numbers up to 31:
How many days in 2 weeks? (quatorze)
How many minutes in a quarter hour? (quinze)
Then, they learned the days of the week in French. They noticed that, unlike in English, the days of the week in French do not have capital letters.
They used their new knowledge to play games sorting out the order of the days before testing themselves with a tricky worksheet.

Comptez avec moi!
This week in French, Year 3 have been revising numbers 1 to 10 as well as learning numbers 11 to 31. They discussed the importance of being able to count to 31 and how this is useful for telling someone the date any day of any month.
After playing lots of games – counting on and Bingo – to practise these new numbers, some pupils were very excited to be able to use their new knowledge to try to count backwards in French.

Quelle heure est-il ?
Year 4 have been putting their knowledge of French numbers to use this week by learning to tell the time for o’clock and half past times. They learned the words for hour (heure) and half past (et demie) in order to be able to answer the question ‘Quelle heure est-il?’ – What time is it?
Test them out on these times before checking the answers in the final image.

Here are the answers.
