French Day
Bonjour tout le monde!
La journée française 2013, c’était fantastique! On Tuesday the school enjoyed an exciting and colourful day of French learning at the school’s annual French Day. All the boys dressed in bleu, blanc and rouge and it was fun to see them in French costumes, hats and twirly moustaches too. The school was draped with French flags and decorated with posters, bunting and balloons. There were lots of French activities for the boys to enjoy including: a French film screening of Le ballon rouge, a pétanque competition and French cricket, painting in Art and French songs in music and even some disco dancing.
The students were very excited to eat some French food too. They learned how to make crêpes and had the chance fill their own with yummy fillings of banane, syrop and crème. They ate croissants and pain au chocolat and also had a tasty drink called diabolo menthe. In the afternoon the boys impressed us all at a special assembly which was full of songs and plays that they rehearsed in class and throughout the day.
Overall, it was a very successful day that was enjoyed by the boys, staff and parents alike. I’d like to thank everyone involved for all the hard work you put in to make this year’s French Day so fantastique! A special thank you to the parent helpers who dedicated their time and made such a wonderful contribution. Bon travail!
