    What you'll see and do with pack 3

	Pack 3 builds on Pack 1 and Pack 2, with extended units on cross-curricular topics like 'MINI-BEASTS'. Here, in 3 sample films you can see how the language is kept simple. Some real full-speed French is included, to give children confidence that they can work out the "gist" of what they hear, even if they can't follow every word. You'll hear authentic French voices of children on a mini-beast hunt in a woodland park, and the 'Ecogarde' who helps them identify their finds on the forest floor - real everyday life and culture. You'll maybe sing along with a class of French children singing the French version of 'Incy Wincy Spider'- and laugh at one of the jokes that were recorded by French children. The full range of topics (see below) is chosen to help enrich your curriculum by embedding French into your class work in other subjects.

You can preview Early Start French 3

Extension Pack 3 builds on Early Start French Packs 1 and 2, meeting the needs of children who have already learnt the language for 2-3 years starting in year 3 or before. We're really excited about this new resource, and look forward to seeing what you and your children at school think of its many innovative features. When will it be ready?

New pack 3 for years 5 or 6 on their 3rd or 4th year of French

We saw French children on a mini-beast hunt (ch.3.4) and in a ballet class (ch.3.2).

Filming in Béthune for Early Start French 3...

...the local paper, the "Voix du Nord" featured Early Start's filming in the Béthune area. Here pupils in École Jacques Prevert, a primary school in Ruitz near Bruay sang some great songs with headteacher, Françoise Antit (pictured left) for Early Start French 3. The children also told us jokes, re-told the story of 'Cendrillon' (Cinderella), described attractions they'd visited and enjoyed the rides at Béthune Fair.

Here are all the extended units
in Early Start French 3, "Ici et là"
- each section builds on previously-learned language skills,
helping children talk in French about what happens around them:
