Waldegrave School Christmas Magazine 2023

Year 9 French students enjoyed a morning at St James’ Primary School participating in a French Storytelling Leadership Workshop with Year 2 pupils, telling Eric Carle’s renowned tale of the The Very Hungry Caterpillar in French (La chenille qui fait des trous…). The morning was spent with our students applying their leadership skills confidently and fine-honing their presentation skills, teaching Year 2 pupils new vocabulary around eating and food. The event was conducted in French with tasks ranging from retelling the delightful story to the primary school pupils, to leading speaking, writing and drawing activities related to the book. It was a full morning at the school, thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.
