French News

Bonjour everyone. Last week was a busy week with a visit from the Year 3 PLC girls for a combined French lesson with 3S. On Monday, 25 girls came by bus for a double-length lesson during period 3 and 4 in which we worked on describing family members. We all began the class by introducing ourselves to each other using expressions such as "Bonjour, comment ça va?" and "Je m'appelle…" and then played a group game with introductions and funny moves to copy. Later we moved on to teamwork to complete our personal descriptions of a family member. Every group was a mix of boys and girls with a team leader to keep everyone on track and on time. The groups then presented to each other and graded their peers on their presentations. The PLC girls stayed on to eat with us and were shown around the playground at lunch and introduced to Spare Parts Play by our very welcoming boys. Bravo 3S for being such fantastic hosts and for working so well to present your French knowledge to others. Au revoir!
