7.4 - Puppet pals creativity en français

Since the start of Year 7, all Year 7 classes have been focussing on the important verbs "to be" - être and "to have" - avoir and using these verbs to describe their personality, nationality, hair and eyes, age and pets.

Last week 7.4 did a brilliant job creating fun conversations on the iPads using the app puppet pals! Here are some of their efforts! Très bien 7.4. Madame Green est très impressionnée!

 

A Level German film workshop

Today our Year 13 German pupils went to Cardiff Univeristy for a seminar on the film 'Goodbye Lenin'.

The film, which features in the pupils' final A2 exam, is about a family at the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall. 

Pupils enjoyed a taster of university life next year, and it was thoroughly enjoyable and very informative. 

Many thanks to Routes into Languages for organising this language workshop. 

Hard at work! Au travail.
