Monsieur Madame books created by Form 4 in French during Book Week

Form 4 Monsieur Madame French Project 2021

Mar 2021
Form 4 spent their French lessons during Book Week creating their own Monsieur Madame (Mr Men & Little Miss) books. The project enabled the children to explore lots of new language, to practise their artistic skills and to tap into their creativity as they chose where their character lived, what their hobbies were, what they ate and drank and what they were like.

F2 have been looking at #WW2 #propagande posters: who is in the poster, what message it is conveying & how it would make people feel.

During Book Week, our T2s started making 'book nooks'. These are crafty creations that live among the novels on your shelf. Measuring roughly the height & width of one or two #books, they are reminiscent of dollhouses or small dioramas. Spot the one inspired by 'The Borrowers'. https://t.co/w0Fb0nGZv6
