On 22nd November 22 keen French students attended the weekly French Club and enjoyed making a traditional French croque monsieur. This involved understanding a real French receipe! All thought the hot sandwiches were delicious. For photos of this event please click here.
This was followed by a successful French Christmas event on Friday 10th December 2010 with a group of year 9 students. The pupils learnt a tremendous amount about Christmas in different parts of France. There was a nice, relaxed atmosphere. They enjoyed trying the traditional Christmas food and learning some new Christmas vocabulary using the wordsearch and carols. Ruth O'Rourke (Project Manager, Links and Routes into Languages North East) came in and was very impressed. Floriane and Sabine from IBM also talked to the class about working for IBM and the value of language skills. All in all, a very beneficial afternoon for the students.
