On Monday, KS2 were treated to a fantastic workshop called Voulez-vous! The actors did not speak a word of English during the workshop but our children were not daunted at all! Have a read of their comments about this wonderful immersive experience below:

‘Even though it was in a different language, everyone still knew what they were saying. It will help when you have to pronounce words. I most enjoyed the quiz!’  By Archie—Y6

‘I'm not good at French so I learnt a lot. I learnt how to say croissant and that le fromage means cheese. The best bit was where Tom dressed up as the lady coming into the bakery and Henri dressed up as the cheesemonger and then pretended to sell the cheese or the croissant.​‘  By Maddi C—Y6

‘I learnt some things about French History. I was the king and had my head chopped off in the French Revolution. The King was bad and did not give the people food so they decided to kill him and the Queen.’  By Ahmed—Y6

‘It was good because they were talking in French and we could understand them! They showed us actions and repeated things - cocorico!’  By Kene—Y5

‘It was really fun because it was funny and they only spoke French. I was worried that I wouldn't understand them but I understood everything they said!​‘  By Dior—Y5

‘It was fun because I enjoyed the activities. The quiz was funny and my brother got his head chopped off!’  By Zainab—Y5

‘I was hearing new words and I learnt words like la fromagerie, and how to say North, South, East and West in French. It will help our French learning. I enjoyed everything because it was funny and it made me laugh.’  By Star—Y4

‘The show linked to our French lessons because it was about speaking French and food in French. I learnt how to say bakery and cheese in French - it might help me to order cheese and bread in a shop. It also helped my Geography.’  By Leo—Y4
