Year 8 French students from Highfields recently explored French culture at the Francophile Roadshow, organised as part of the school's affiliation with Tudor Grange Academy. This vibrant event, held in honor of Francophile Day 2024, offered students a captivating glimpse into the rich tapestry of French heritage and language.
The day was filled with engaging activities designed to celebrate French culture and enhance language skills. Students enjoyed Olympic games bingo, based on the upcoming Parisienne games, a virtual tour of Notre Dame using VR headsets, and even got creative by crafting their own clay gargoyles inspired by French architecture.
Amidst laughter and camaraderie, students enthusiastically practiced their French vocabulary while immersing themselves in the vibrant atmosphere of the event. The Francophile Roadshow left a lasting impression on students, deepening their appreciation for French culture and igniting their passion for language learning.
Highfields extends its gratitude to Tudor Grange Academy for organising this experience, which has further enriched the school's cultural and educational landscape. Through initiatives like the Francophile Roadshow, Highfields continues to offer students an environment where they can thrive and embrace linguistic diversity.
