Some pupil views (1) I would recommend this way of teaching because we learned lots and you have to listen very hard to understand I felt quite scared and found it quite hard to understand but it did get easier. I have learnt about different landscapes in French. I would like to learn Maths in French because you learn more. I think after a few lessons it got a lot easier. I enjoyed it and would do it again and would like to learn Maths in French. I think it is a very good idea.

Pupil views (2) ‘ Great idea because you can learn two things at once’ ‘Different but fun’ ‘Good and interesting’ ‘..you learn more’ ‘..you learn quicker’ Like the idea of learning (French) through another subject because you don’t know you are doing it.’
