S2 French did a little project on French couturiers, and the best ones were picked out by the Higher French pupils.  Here are the posters:

Cumbernauld Academy was pleased to take part in the International Day of Languages in September, and here are some photos of the events.  S1 had fun with a languages-based treasure hunt, S2 had a big quiz, and S3 did posters on different language idioms.  And at lunchtime we had food from various European countries for pupils to taste, as well as a ‘Bush Tucker Challenge’ where they were blindfolded and asked to try some things for the more adventurous palate, such as sauerkraut.  Not everyone managed – but they were allowed to spit it out if they didn’t like the food.  The pupils enjoyed themselves and so did the staff.  Well done all!

We have been studying a well-known French poem, called ‘Déjeuner du Matin’ by Jacques Prévert in French recently.  The class read the poem several times and did a lot of activities about the poem.  Finally they copied the poem and illustrated it to show other classes what it’s all about.  The Higher class chose their favourites and the creators were given a small prize.

Here are pictures of some of the poems:
