Modern Languages Day: 4th July 2006
Bonjour!
On a hot 4th July 2006, children and staff from five local schools - St Joseph's, Ribby-with Wrea, The Willows, Weeton St Micheal's and Wesham C of E - came to Weeton School for the day so we could all celebrate our learning of modern languages.
The day began with magnificent music and marches from the Light Division Band...
|
It wasn't long before the Band had a new conductor...
|
Then we all split up into groups and went off to different activities - from singing to treasure trails, puppet-making to boules.
Here we are tasting food from different countries. The food was kindly provided by our local Sainsbury's. Lots of delicious bread, cheese and fruit...
|
Some of us had games of boules and croquet. The weather was perfect...
|
Meanwhile, in the hall, we flew off to Spain and tried some flamenco dancing...
|
Some of us tried a painting technique called pointillism - that's creating a picture using dots of colour...
|
Lots of us drew self portraits on calico to form six large banners - one for each school. We added some greetings in different languages...
|
Just a few spaces left on this banner...
|
After a picnic lunch, we acted out a French version of Three Billy Goats Gruff. The bridge (le pont) in Woodland Walk was the ideal place...
|
Here's the nasty old Troll...
|
At the end of a brilliant day, we gathered in the hall to share some of the things we had done. We sang two songs in Italian and showed everyone our banners...
|
We had made new friends from different schools,
spoke and sang in different languages
and had lots of fun.
We just didn't want the day to end.
Au revoir!
