P1-3 have been busy learning how to say various foods in French as part of their Modern Language topic. To round up the topic, pupils got the opportunity to taste some typical French foods today, including croissants, pain au chocolat, macarons, eclairs, crepes and … SNAILS!! (Or Escargot to give it it’s proper French name!).

Unsurprisingly, the majority of the pastries were given a score of 10/10, and the macarons were a big hit too! However, the same can’t be said for the snails – “disgusting,” “horrid,” and “they stink” were the general comments used to describe them! Most pupils used their cocktail stick to get the snail out of it’s shell, but most only gave it a lick before deciding it wasn’t for them! We did have 3 pupils who ate their snail though, and 1 who came back for seconds as it was apparently “so delicious!”

Have a keek below at the photos to see the fun the pupils had today!
