Jacques is ready to pack!

Mrs Hull and Jacques are making final preparations for their French adventure during the Easter holidays.

We will be in Lyon for a week learning lots of French and finding out about France.  It’s a big adventure and the whole school are helping us prepare:

Primary 1 and 1/2 have made a packing list. They checked the weather forecast in Lyon and suggested sun cream and shades rather than a scarf.

Primary 2 have written a list of questions they would like Mrs Hull to find out about school in France. Do they wear a uniform? What are French school dinners like?

Primary 3 have been learning how to talk about the weather in French, so Mrs Hull can tell people how sunny it is in Scotland.

In primary 4 we have been looking at French story books and practising the calendar, and Primary 5 have found out where Lyon is in France. They wrote postcards to their pen pals in French describing Pumpherston and Uphall station. We have pen pals in West Lothian now, perhaps we will be writing for pen pals in France soon.

Primary 6 have prepared photos and film for a guided tour of our school. We also had a quick look at Lyon airport on Google earth and learned how to give directions, in case Mrs Hull gets lost.

Primary 7 had a good look at Lyon tourist information and have given advice on travel, activities, interesting sights to see, and the local football team! They have asked lots of questions about life in France.

The staff have also helped us.  The ladies in the office have made sure Jacques has a school tie to look smart as he represents Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS on the trip, and the teachers have given us travel tips, books to read on the plane, and travel adapters for the charger plugs.

Thank you to everyone who is supporting us. We will be blogging as we go so look up the blog over the Easter holidays! We hope to come back with some new friends and lots of good ideas for French lessons next term.
