The day will start with an introductory assembly and will continue with the children studying one country with French as an official language (see below) with their class teacher and Madame Jones. The children will participate in a range of activities with the aim of teaching the children about the geography and culture of a different French-speaking country. The countries are as follows:

Year R – Switzerland      Year 1 – French Polynesia      Year 2 – Madagascar

Year 3 – Canada      Year 4 – Guadeloupe      Year 5 – Morocco     Year 6 – Belgium

Following Bentley French Day traditions, the children and staff are invited to dress up for the day. The children are free to choose an appropriate outfit for the day linked with the theme or their class country. It could be as simple as the colours of the flag of their class country or as something creative such as the country’s emblem, landmark or a native animal. This logo is of the ‘La Francophonie’ organisation – its colours could form an outfit worn for the day if desired!

I very much look forward to welcoming the children to French Day on Wednesday and to sharing the day with you via photos on the website.
