    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.
