French Day
Last Tuesday, we had a lovely morning studying French speaking countries, enriching the teaching of French in school.
All year groups had a different country to study and produced various outcomes such as posters, songs and poems. These were shared at a special assembly in the afternoon. The children loved sharing what they had been doing with each other and it made for a lovely end to the day.
Year 3 - Year 3 looked at France and particularly at French landmarks such as the Notre Dame Cathedral. They became tour guides for the morning! They sang Frere Jacques and learnt about the French Revolution.
Year 4 - Year 4 filled shoe boxes with information all about Quebec. They made flags, sang songs and learnt all about the culture and history.
Year 5 - The children in Year 5 explored the country of Benin. They listened to, and then retold, a story all about how Benin began, found out more about the geography, culture, traditions, some fascinating facts and languages of Benin and even had a go at producing some Benin-inspired art. A book has been produced for the library with some examples of the amazing work completed during the day - it's definitely worth a look next time you're in school.
Year 6 - Year 6 looked at Tahiti and learnt all about the island, the largest island of the Windward group of the Society Islands in French Polynesia. They enjoyed joining in with quizzes, creating art work and making posters.
