Welcome to the new term!
As we start the Summer Term Year 8 will already have departed for their annual residential trip to La Grand’ Ferme near Avranches in Normandy. We hope the weather stays fine for the trip and that everyone returns having polished their French in time for the CE Speaking exams in May!Please check the site to see what you are going to be covering in french this term, and remember to make a resolution to learn all new VOCABULARY and GRAMMAR as you go along! Top tip: 10 minutes in one go at least 4 times a week should help keep you up to scratch with what you have learned in lessons! This is a big term for the Year Eight Common Entrance boys who have their Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing exams later this term. Bon courage!
