Year 8 : Les monstres Mrs Mouland’s French class have been busy creating their own monsters, describing them using adjectives and body parts! Les monstres sont effrayants!

Year 9 Customs and Festivals

Year 9 students have spent the final half term of the year - understanding more about cultures and traditions in French and Spanish speaking countries. For our Spanish students, this has included studying La Tomatina and El Colacho. We have also looked at bullfighting and the role it plays in Spanish society in 2022. Mrs Northfield was particularly impressed with 9G2’s study of Victor Barrio and how his death framed the discussion around this tradition. Our French students have focussed on French cinema, firstly researching their own choice of French film and producing fantastic presentations and then studying the film Les Choristes.
