fRENCH cAFE

On Thursday, the Year 5 and 6 children enjoyed our fabulous French café with Mrs Raine. As well as learning how to speak in French, they also got to enjoy some delicious French food including: fresh baguette from the bakery, various french cheeses, pain au chocolat and more! The children then spoke in French to share their thoughts on the taste, mostly “J’adore”!

European day of languages

Year 6 thoroughly enjoyed learning Spanish on European Day of languages. They learnt how to say My Name is, how old they were and greet each other. We also identified Spanish colours and numbers.

German Club News

Last week in German Club pupils had the opportunity to sample German food. Children tried typical German bread, two sorts of salami and smoked Bavarian cheese. They discussed how the food tasted in German and made some notes about each item. To finish we had Black Forest Gateau which was very popular! The children enjoyed their food and also had fun pronouncing the long word for Black Forest Gateau in German : Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte.

Year 5 & 6 French Cafe

Year 5 and 6 had a fantastic time with Madame Raine in the French Cafe! They tried lots of different French foods including baguette, pan au chocolat, Camembert and madeleines. They had to use their French speaking skills to ask for different foods from Madame Raine’s Cafe!
