Year 9 French exchange - final days!

 

The Year 9 French exchange has sadly come to an end all too quickly.
The French party left Cowbridge this morning at 9am to make their way to Portsmouth for their ferry to Caen overnight.  The French and Welsh students have had a fantastic time enjoying each others' company in the last week and many students were crying this morning as they said goodbye. I am sure the Cowbridge students can't wait for the return visit to Rezé, Nantes in June.
The French students spent several hours in Bath today enjoying the Roman Baths and the Fashion museum before heading towards Portsmouth.

Yesterday the French students spent the day at Cardiff Bay where they visited the Senedd  and learnt about the Welsh Assembly as well as enjoying a thrilling round around the bay on the speed boat! A good day was had by all!

7.3 Riceathon Record!

 Well done 7.3! You managed a Cowbridge Riceathon Record this afternoon!

Last Friday night's disco.

The annual Friday disco for the French exchange was a great success. Here are a few photos!

Les Français et les Gallois visitent Cardiiff

Today Cowbridge students and French students enjoyed a day visit together. They started by visiting St. Fagans where they particularly enjoyed the old boutiques and the miners' houses. 

Here are some students enjoying a pic-nic in the sunshine. 

They then made their way to Cardiff castle where everyone was impressed by the ornate sumptuous decorations inside the castle. 

After the castle everyone enjoyed a little bit of shopping time! A few French students even bought themselves matching onesies! Here is one of them! 

  

Madame Vert (Green) managed to end up in this group photo! Here we all are having fun!

After shopping we went bowling where the onesies were proudly worn, we all had fun bowling and then enjoyed chicken nuggets and chips before returning to Cowbridge for 6pm.

Weekend antics!

Year 9 students and families did a fantastic job of making their French guests feel welcome at the weekend. Merci beaucoup! Many students watched Year 9 boys beat Brynteg at the Cup final in the Millennium Stadium, and lots of students explored Cardiff and its shops and museum. Some students went swimming too. Many bought gifts for their French exchange partners too! A good time was had by all!
On Saturday night many of the Cowbridge students and their French guests enjoyed a get-together. Here they all are having fun.
