Year 5 Trip to Hale

As part of their study of a contrasting geographical location, Year 5 went out to Hale in the New Forest this week Luckily the weather stayed good, and the children enjoyed a lovely day out in a school which has many similarities, but also some very interesting differences to our own.

The children were particulary struck by the lack of traffic fumes out in this part of the Forest.

We also managed to win the annual football match with Hale School!

French Assistante in School

We are very lucky to have Charlotte, a Foreign Language Assistant, working in school with the children this term.  Charlotte team teaches French to whole classes; works with groups of children and runs a French Club for various year groups.  The children look forward to working with her and enjoy asking her about France and French life. It is wonderful to have a native speaker in the classroom to support their language learning.

It still seems amazing that we have taught French for such a short time, yet the children are so good at speaking it!
