The pupils at Cairn Primary in Maybole have been learning about the Olympics in French. They were reading about Pierre de Coubertin and they were also learning how to say and write the Olympic sports in French.

The children were surprised by how many sports were written the same way in French and English such as le football, le rugby, le golf and le badminton. The older pupils were also able to work out other sports by linking their knowledge of their own language (English) and applying it when reading French. They could, for example, work out that le cyclisme was cycling and that les sports aquatiques were water sports.

Bravo everyone!
