Last week, a group of enthusiastic and talented Abingdon School students visited us to lead a lively session with Year 4 pupils, introducing them to a range of traditional French playground games.<\/p>\n
After some fun icebreakers to get everyone warmed up, the pupils threw themselves into playing\u00a0canard, canard, oie<\/em>\u00a0(duck, duck, goose),\u00a0un-deux-trois-soleil<\/em>\u00a0(the French equivalent of granny\u2019s footsteps), and\u00a0l\u2019\u00e9pervier<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 a fast-paced, tactical game of tag that quickly became a firm favourite.<\/p>\n It was wonderful to see the Sixth Form students sharing their passion for French language and culture so confidently and joyfully with our children. The session was not only a fantastic collaborative effort between the two French departments, but also a brilliant example of language learning brought to life.<\/p>\n Bravo to all involved \u2013 and\u00a0\u00e0 l\u2019ann\u00e9e prochaine<\/em>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last week, a group of enthusiastic and talented Abingdon School students visited us to lead a lively session with Year 4 pupils,…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":53330,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-53328","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-academic-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
