7. En route pour l’école Travelling to school

This section builds on the work pupils did in Early Start French 2, when they found out how to talk about places in town and give directions.

It looks at the different ways children travel to school, which raises interesting questions about sustainability and the environmental impact of different modes of transport. It also looks at describing a route, for example to school, with reference to landmarks as well as changing direction. Your class could follow these examples to describe journeys along new routes they have designed to improve their town.
