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!

Prep 4: Saint-Saëns - Le Carnaval des Animaux

We will be listening to some of Le Carnaval des Animaux by  a French composer called Saint-Saëns this week. Your job will be to guess which animal each piece of music represents. This video, made by Walt Disney in 1999, features flamingos (des flamants roses!) dancing to the finale of Le Carnaval des Animaux. I hope you enjoy it!

It's almost Easter! Why don't you find out how they celebrate Easter (Pâques) in France? Take a look at this website to find out.

Prep 4: Sports Presentations

Prep 4 spent some of last term learning how to give their opinion on various sports. At the end of term I recorded each pupil talking about which sports they like and dislike and I am very proud of the results! When we finished recording, each Prep 4 class listened to the recordings done by the other class, and together we chose three people from each class who we felt had worked especially hard on their accent and had included a good range of vocabulary and opinions. Here you can hear the winning six presentations, so congratulations to Sofia, Polly, Emily N, Lara, Lauren and Grace for some fantastic French work. We hope you enjoy listening to it.

Form 2: Nous allons au Zoo!

I recorded Form 2 singing this song all about going to the zoo at the end of last term. I think you will agree that they sang it beautifully!
