Pupils at Wyke Regis Junior School have enjoyed a week of French
activities, starting with a French Breakfast in the school hall. The children had the choice of French breads, fresh fruit and a fruit juice to the accompaniment of French cafe music.
During the week, children chose a different activity each day, all with a French flavour, including baking crepes and chocolate eclairs, playing boules,singing traditional songs and dancing the Cancan.
They could paint in the style of Seurrat or the cave paintings at Lascau; make the bedroom from a famous painting by Van Gogh or make tourist brochure. They created children's books and brochures, and even a suitcase full of clothes ready for their holidays. Carnival masks were another popular choice.
At the end of the week, a celebration assembly was held when the
children could show off their creations. French week came at the end
of the first year of teaching French to the Lower School at
Wyke Regis. In September, Years 5 and 6 will also get to enjoy French lessons.
