Normandy day 2 part 1

Il fait beau aujourd'hui!

Lovely weather for all of our outings today. After a speedy continental breakfast, we set off by foot to see the Bayeux tapestry and visit the cathedral.

Just outside where the tapestries are kept - we weren't allowed to take pictures inside.

Gerwyn practising his French!

Some of the girls hard at work in the cathedral, answering questions in their booklets.

More pictures and details to follow later on. 

Normandy - Day 1

The first day of Normandy has been a resounding success!

We started our (very early!) morning in high spirits and the ferry crossing to Cherbourg was smooth and the weather was sunny.

Speaking French in action in the shop!

Spotting some interesting French foods!

'Partager un coca cola avec...' - French names on coke bottles. 

Here are a few more snaps from the rest of the day.

World War One day was commemorated across school today.

The MFL department encouraged reflection among our students today as part of the school's World War One commemoration day.

First of all students wrote and discussed their first thoughts upon looking at some horrifying pictures of World War One. Here are a few of the pictures they discussed and some of their first reactions upon seeing the images. 

 

The students discussed their feelings and thoughts about the suffering and deaths of millions of soldiers, among them Germans, British, French and other nationalities. Whichever nationality soldiers were, their suffering, pain and sorrow was immeasurable.

On a more uplifting note students then watched a short film clip about the Christmas truce of 1914 and imagined what it would be like to make friends with soldiers who had previously been seen as the enemy. Many students were heard to say: "they were just like us".

Many thanks to all the students who took part in the discussions in such a mature and reflective manner today and were willing to consider World War One from another perspective.
