P3D and P3G spent some time this term learning French. We wrote about our families and what life was like in France. Amongst the things we learnt were: how to count, the names of the colours, some geography of France. Maddie's grandmother is French and she came to speak conversational French with us, it was great fun.
We also learnt some French songs, here are the words to our favourite one:

Rouge et orange et jaune et bleu, violet, rose et vert. Je connais les coleurs Toutes les coleurs De mon arc-en-ciel. Ecoute avec les yeux Ecote avec yeux Et regarde avec les oreille Je connais les coleurs toutes les coleurs en Français!

Both classes helped to make a video to introduce the school to others. Each section of the school and what we do in it was introduced by the children in French. We all worked very hard on it, planning the story board and actually videoing each other. At the presentation in the Filmhouse Theatre all the parents said how very impressed they were with the work all the children and their teachers, Mrs Donald and Mrs Grierson, had put into producing it.

Not only did the children produce the video but they also marketed it too, this is what they did:
