Best practice: renewedfocus on learning rather
than teaching
• “The Framework learning objectives relate to the knowledge, skills and understanding which need to be acquired in order to meet the requirements of the programme of study.”
• “ (It) concentrates on key concepts and key processes.. shows strands of development which describe progression in learning across Years 7 to 9, and sets out a minimum expectation for the progression in learning of most pupils”

Freiburg, den 12 März
Liebe MandyVielen Dank für deinen netten Brief. Ich habe mich darüber sehr
gefreut. Ich bin fünfzehn Jahre alt und wohne in Freiburg. Das ist eine
schöne, alte Stadt in Südwestdeutschland. Ich habe zwei Brüder. Martin, mein älterer Bruder, ist zwei Jahre älter als ich und Peter, mein anderer Bruder, ist zehn Jahre alt. Martin ist manchmal ungeduldig und auch sehr laut. Peter ist lieb und immer gut gelaunt.
Haustiere habe ich auch! Meine Katze heisst Mitzi und ist schwarz und weiss und mein Meerschweinchen heisst Rudi.
Meine Eltern müssen lange arbeiten. Mein Vater ist Bankangestellter und meine Mutter ist Zahnärztin. Ich weiss noch nicht, was ich später werden möchte.
Meine Schule ist eine Gesamtschule und liegt ganz in der Stadtmitte. Meine Lieblingsfächer sind Englisch und Französisch. Mathe finde ich ziemlich schwierig!
Heute abend gehe ich ins Kino. Ich sehe sehr gern Gruselfilme! Was machst du gern in deiner Freizeit?

Intercultural understanding: Appreciating the richness and diversity of other
cultures, recognising there are other ways of seeing the World, developing an international
outlook.
• Moving away from the text book• Moving away from Europe• Moving away from MFL• Embracing Global and cross-curricular dimensions in our planning

A picture worth 1000 wordsUsing a painting for inspiration, the class constructs the first few sentences of a tale through group discussion and suggestion. The paragraph is passed to another class who adds another. The process is repeated including as many classes as possible until the tale seems finished. All the classes then gather to hear the result of their group effort read out loud and to see the painting, that inspired the story.

4 août 1914Ma chère Suzanne,J’ai rencontré André à la Gare du Nord à 3 heures et demie ; nous avions le cœur gros et nous étions heureux de partir
ensemble. Nous avons embarqué à 4 heures dans des fourgons à bestiaux, nous sommes partis à 7 heures de Paris et sommes arrivés ici à Laon à 11 heures et demie. Ah, ce départ ! Les gens sur les quais et les mouchoirs qui s’agitaient !
Cette guerre va être dure et longue mais tant qu’il y aura un Allemand en France nous devons nous battre.Au revoir, ma chère femme,Alexandre
8 août 1914Chère Suzanne,J’ai passé la première nuit à Laon dans une église sur une botte de paille. J’ai dormi pendant six heures et quand je me
suis réveillé j’ai vu que j’avais dormi sous un crucifix, sous la protection du Christ. J’ai pensé à toi Suzanne, certain que tu en serais heureuse ; espérons que cette protection ne me quittera pas et que c’est de bon augure.
J’ai foi en Dieu. Ne te décourage pas.Alexandre
12 août 1914Ma chère Suzanne,Que de serrements de cœur quand je pense à tous ceux que j’aime tant. Je pars ce soir pour une direction inconnue.
Le moment du départ va être difficile parce que je sais qu’enfin l’heure des épreuves est venue.Ne te tourmente pas inutilement. Embrasse bien mes petits pour moi et dis-leur que je les aime beaucoup. Pense
souvent à moi, qui pense souvent à toi, et surtout sois forte.Quand est-ce que j’aurai de tes nouvelles ? C’est ça le plus dur.• Alexandre

Plan more?Plan different
•Be familiar with and open to the good practice going on in KS2 - draw on it•Build on pupil knowledge & experience by planning Yr 7 with as an extension of KS2 •Consider using the Revised KS3 Framework as guidance for progression within a curriculum much more fluid in content•Evolve curriculum content slowly and carefully – evaluate and adapt regularly•Engage colleagues in wider coherant curriculum development•Use guidance creatively so that learners make best progress through compelling learning
Isn’t it strange how princes and kings,
And clowns that caper in sawdust rings,
And ordinary folk like you and me,
Are builders of eternity?
To each is given a bag of tools,
An hour glass and a book of rules,
And ere we build as the time has flown,
A stumbling block or a stepping stone.
