| Learning in the Lower School
| On Wednesday it was our French Day. We covered topics such as The Tour de France, The artiste Matisse and The Eiffel Tower. We ate croissants and pain au chocolat at break with coq au vin (sans vin!) for lunch. The students attended a puppet show, in French of course! We also had a specialist French story-teller called Fanny who read different French stories to each of the year groups. It was a lovely day - Merci beaucoup to all and particularly Mme. Bamberger and Mrs. Sutton for their help, organisation and encouragement. To view more photos from the day, please click here.
Year 6 have shared their human body process models with us all this week. they are displayed in the main corridor. It is great to see them demonstrate their learning in such a variety of different ways

| Rose in Year 5 identified that French was very obviously going to be the language of the week this week - merci beaucoup Rose.
The Super Question was answered by Sara in Year 6, who answered that 446 would be the age of Guy Fawkes if he were still alive today.
In line with French Day we have set the following Super Question for Monday. We have asked who is the current President of France?
