European Day of Languages

Today we celebrated European Day of Languages by having a French themed tasting session whilst taking part in a live assembly from a café in Paris.  We had great fun tasting some French treats, learning some phrases and hearing about life in France.

Afterwards, we looked at some famous French landmarks and used them as inspiration to create some stained glass window designs.

In the afternoon, as part of our IDL, we split into pairs and trios to research an aspect of France and started to create posters about we learned. We had a fun filled French day!
