Today was very busy but also very exciting. We had lessons in the University again, learning some new songs, poems and tongue twisters in French. Jacques was asked if he would teach the class his favourite song, Frère Jacques which he was brave enough to do.
After class we met Mrs Hull’s friend, Mme Decourt. She and Mrs Hull have written to each other as pen friends since they were at school! We went for lunch, then we were invited to visit Roussillon, meet Mme Decourt’s family, and even to go to visit the primary school – L’école St Jacques! The children sang a super welcome song in English for us and we listened to them reading a lovely story about a magic cat in Egypt. The castle in Roussillon is special because it was there that the French king signed a law in 1564 to make 1 janvier the start of the year in France. We have a copy of the law (merci Mme Decourt!) to show you when we get back to school.
We made lots of new friends today. We are hoping our schools will be able to write to each other so we can learn about France and we can tell the children about Scotland.
Teach us more French
Sounds fun
