OUR Lady of the Way Primary School brought in the French celebrations school-wide last Wednesday, putting together its annual Bastille Day celebration.
The day was built around the school’s French program, with students dressed up in French-inspired clothing or French colours – blue, white and red.
French-based activities were also a big part of the day, with Eiffel Towers built from everyday materials, French crowns created, petanque games, baguette races and French quizzes.
As part of the day, La Petite Creperie also set up a crepe van, with students ordering crepes in French, using their language skills in a real-life setting, and bringing to a head weeks of classroom learning into practice.
The school’s French program has also seen a big achievement, with students Faith Dias and Scarlett Thompson reaching the finals of the Berthe Mouchette French Poetry competition, with the results celebrated in October.
