What a start to Term 4!
Students this term are learning about the culture of food in France. For the last three weeks students have been looking at Le petit déjeuner, Le déjeuner and Le goûter and the foods associated with each of these meal times. Students have been creating tables, selecting their preferred foods, drawing and labelling them. Throughout each session, students have been practicing asking for these foods. So don't be surprised if your children start asking for a 4pm sweet treat in their best French accent.
Year 1/2
This term, our students are exploring the rich cultural significance of cuisine in France. Over the past three weeks, classes have focused on three distinct French meal times: Le petit déjeuner (breakfast), Le déjeuner (lunch), and Le goûter (afternoon tea), learning about the traditional foods associated with each.
To deepen their understanding, students have participated in a variety of engaging classroom activities:
- Selecting and categorising their favourite French food items.
- Illustrating and labelling their choices to build their written vocabulary.
As well as these exercises, students have been actively practising how to conversationally request these foods. Do not be surprised if your children begin requesting a 4:00 pm sweet treat at home using their finest French accents!
Year 3-6
Over the first three weeks of this term, our students have continued their engaging French unit on popular sports in France. This learning journey recently culminated in an exciting student-led showcase where our senior students shared their knowledge with our Prep to Year 2 cohorts.
The final push was structured across three main phases:
Project Finalisation: Students completed comprehensive information booklets on their chosen French sports.
Showcase Preparation: Classes planned creative interactive elements and refined their delivery by practising in front of mock audiences.
The Creative Showcase: Students designed and hosted a diverse range of presentation stalls for our junior visitors, including:
- Interactive sports clinics demonstrating key movements and rules
- Digital video quizzes and Canva multimedia presentations
- Custom tabletop games built around French sports vocabulary
This event was a fantastic opportunity for our older students to demonstrate leadership. They showed immense patience, encouragement, and clear communication when guiding the junior students through their activities.
