French update

This term, students in Year 1 have been labelling the items they would like to find in their lunchboxes. Check out Ruby’s French themed lunchbox. We love the design!

Students in Year 3 learned how to describe their families. Don’t their family trees look fantastique?!

In Year 4, we created ‘Qui Je Suis’ (Who Am I?) posters to describe our friends. Can you guess which Year 4 student is being described from the clues?

Year 5 have been learning how to ask and answer questions about themselves in French. Pop into the French room if you want to find out some facts about the Year 5 students!

Bastille Day

When: Thursday 25 July (dress up day)

Gold coin donation

We are excited to announce that PMPS will be celebrating Bastille Day on Thursday 25th July (Week 2 of Term 3). The day will be filled with French food, crafts, sports and film activities. Everyone is invited to dress up in French-inspired costumes which can be as simple as wearing bleu, blanc or rouge (blue, white or red). Students are encouraged to bring a gold coin donation to support the valuable work of Médécins Sans Frontières (MSF). MSF translates to Doctors without Borders, which provides medical assistance to people affected by conflict, epidemics, disasters or exclusion from healthcare.
