French exchange

Today Tolkien Class had a very fun and challenging task!  We met up with 19 French exchange students, who are currently visiting Presdales School.  They were aged 14 and they were all very kind.

The session started with Tolkien Class singing the exchange students the weather song we have learnt in our weekly French lesson.  They enjoyed listening to our singing.  Then we took it in turns to ask them questions.  We asked them questions in English so that they could practise their English and then they asked us questions in French.  We did really well to answer their questions in French.  It was good practise, although quite difficult.  Then we went around the hall asking each other in French 'As-tu des freres et des soeurs?'  (How many brothers and sisters do you have?)  We kept a tally chart of the results.  Finally we played a game like musical chairs.  We were given a day of the week in French and when our day was called out we had to swap places. 

Mrs Anstead was very impressed with the children's confidence to have a go and speak French.  Well done Tolkien Class!
