French Immersion Day

On Friday 22nd January over a hundred S5 and S6 pupils from Mearns Castle, Williamwood, Woodfarm, Barrhead, St Luke’s and St Ninian’s High Schools gathered at Mearns Castle to take part in a French Immersion Day with visiting teachers from the Alliance Française de Glasgow.

Pupils took part in four different workshop activities and developed their oral skills on a range of topics. The pupils heard and spoke only French in all of the workshops all day, and we were really impressed with their level of comprehension.

Some comments from the pupils:

‘It was fun to meet French people!’

‘I understood more French than I thought I could.’

‘I improved my French accent.’

‘I liked that it was mixed with other schools – allowed us to meet new people and learn French at the same time.’

We now look forward to the Spanish Immersion day coming up on 26th February.

 

 

S4-S6 Cinéclub français

The French film club is starting again! Please join me on Tuesday 26 November between 7pm and 9pm to see a great French film, and find out about the French “je ne sais quoi”! Come to school to relax with friends – no uniform needed – bring some sweets and enjoy “L’élégance du hérisson” (the Hedgehog), a film about the unlikely friendship of an extremely clever young girl and her building janitor. A gem of a film. In French with English subtitles.

Let me or your French teacher know if you are coming. A bientôt!
