Communicating in French

 French Communication Skills

Fifty-three of our Year 7 students took part in a French pen pal project that I have organised together with a teacher in Brittany, and Ms Fulton. The school we have partnered with is called Collège Giles Gahinet which is based in Arradon, near Vannes, in Southern Brittany: https://www.college-gahinet-arradon.ac-rennes.fr/

The Year 7 students have been excited to work on this initiative. In the last couple of weeks, they have been working diligently to prepare their introduction letters and decorate their Christmas cards.

Winston students were impressed to find out, among other things, that their pen pals' school offers rock climbing and sailing at sea as extra-curricular activities. (They are currently French champions for sailing!)

After Christmas, we will be continuing our correspondence, writing about life at school and celebrations.

I have been delighted with the effort students have put into this project and the standard of their written work, especially as they have only been studying French for one term!

Ms Fulton and I are delighted with the project outcomes, so a well-deserved BRAVO to all the students involved. We are all looking forward to receiving the cards from Brittany now, which should hopefully arrive next week.
