Cultural excursion for Year 7 French students

 

French Film Festival

On Thursday March 15, all the Year 7 French students went to the Westgarth cinema to Watch “Belle and Sébastien”, a French movie shown during the French Film Festival.  Each year we take Year Seven students to see a film at the festival as a way of engaging students in the cultural aspects of the language.

The movie was in French with English subtitles and students were able to recognise some of the words and phrases they have learnt this year. It was also an interesting insight into the life of French shepherds just after World War 2 in the Pyrenean Mountains on the border of Spain. The landscapes shown in the movie were breathtaking and the students, of course loved the star of the film, the dog.
