French Day at Kingswood Prep School

This year Kingswood Prep School  had its French Day on Tuesday 23 February. The School was decorated in bleu, blanc, rouge and everyone came dressed up in these colours or in berets and stripy jumpers. The day started with a whole school assembly where children from every class, ranging from reception to year 6, confidently performed songs, rhymes, weather forecasts, role-plays and a fashion show in French. Throughout the day the pupils were exposed to French language but also French culture. Food tasting ranged from camembert and saucisson to madeleines. A delicious French lunch was served and the crêpes à la sauce au chocolat were particularly appreciated!

Some children took part in a concours de boules while others watched the film Madagascar 2 in French. In the pre-prep children in year 2 had a special visitor, La Reine Charlotte, a polished French speaker, who led the Vive la France workshop. The children especially enjoyed decorating a china bowl in the Sèvres porcelain style to take home.

Good fun was had by all and most importantly the event seemed to stimulate the children to learn more French!
