• KS2 FRENCH WORKSHOP

  Fri 27 Jan 2023

  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

   

  ‘I learnt how to understand French by watching actions. The part I most enjoyed was when we were holding up a bakery sign and Tom dressed up as a lady who was buying bread.’  By Mattia—Y4

   

  ‘It was really funny because everyone was clapping. Me and Cameron go to hold up the cheese sign. My favourite part was when they were racing to get the bits of the country in the quiz.’  By William—Y3

   

  ‘The two people were dressing up. One was pretending to be a lady and the other man was handing out cheese. I didn't understand it all but it did make me laugh!’  By Kitty—Y3

   

  ‘I liked the show because it was really funny. I laughed when Tom dressed up as a woman when he went to buy croissants. I know that they said my name in a funny way.’  By Catalaya—Y3

   

  ‘In the French workshop , we made a gameshow on television. Caleb was the director of the show, There was also a special guests, he was the cockerel called Jack and Georgie was his bodyguard . My favourite part was when Henry and Tom pretended to be in a Fromagerie (Cheeseshop). Henry went crazy about the cheese and it was so funny’

• NURSERY  AND RECEPTION TRIP TO THE POLKA THEATRE

  Fri 20 Jan 2023

  On Friday both Nursery and Reception went to see the performance of Grandad, Me and Teddy Too. We were very excited to go to the theatre by coach and we had the best time ever. Once in the theatre we were immersed into a wintry world of imagination with magic carpet rides, journeys to the northern lights and a twinkly, snowy garden. Our teachers were very impressed and proud with the way we behaved.

   

  ‘My favourite part of the theatre trip was the coach and the plane. All of it!’ Henry—R

   

  ‘My favourite part of the theatre was when the girl and the teddy and the grandad were having tea.’  Emmilie—R

   

  ‘My favourite part of the theatre was when the aeroplane was spinning round and round and I liked how they made the noise.’ William—R

   

  ‘l like when they called their Grandad because it was really cool when they went out the door.’  Kiion—R

   

  ‘I love the aeroplane.’ Szymon—R

   

  ‘It was about Grandpa and the little girl having tea. They talked to each other and they had a party. They had a magic carpet and it went to the North Pole.’ Harvey—R
