Primary Languages Competition

Primary Languages Competition

On June 14^th a group of twenty children went to Beechwood Junior School to take part in the annual Southampton Primary Languages Speaking Competition. This provided them with an opportunity to show off their developing French skills in a creative way. The children prepared for the competition with great commitment and determination.

The year 4 children performed beautifully a traditional French song and dance, and won their category. Several year 5 and year 6 children showed off their spelling skills in the Spelling Bee, which was eventually won by Kundie. The year 5 and year 6 entrants excelled in the Culture Quiz, answering quick-fire questions about French geography and culture in front of the large audience. Ariba was the year 5 winner and Claire was the year 6 winner. The children were all so quick and confident that the only way to decide upon a winner was through sudden-death play-offs .

All of the children behaved very well and performed with enthusiasm and confidence.  Bravo!

 

We were very proud of the children’s efforts and of their fantastic behaviour, which was commented upon by parents who attended. “Bravo tout le monde!”
