Café de l'École

Prep 6 held their final Café de l'École on Wednesday. As always, they worked brilliantly as a team, taking turns greeting the younger pupils at the door and serving pains au chocolat, croissants, limonade and orangina. Their language skills have really improved and I was proud of how nicely they helped the younger ones with their French. Well done for being such good role models!

Take a look at the slideshow of pictures on the right. It was lovely to be joined by Reception this time!
