Salut,

Here in Presentation College, Carlow we recently enjoyed a wonderful week filled with French culture, cuisine and activities. Throughout the week our school was bursting with French traditions giving students a real taste of life in France. French teachers Mme Cadinot, Mme Owens and Mme Jully organised various activities for all French students to explore and sample French life.

Students enjoyed various French activities such as face painting and an art competition, with articulate pieces that even Leonardo Da Vinci would be proud of! A traditional French breakfast was enjoyed by our well deserving Sixth Years. Fifth and Sixth Year French students got the chance to enjoy an amazing French movie “The Keeper”, in The GBS theatre. They found it both enjoyable and exciting. Transition Year students held a photobooth to capture the smiles of French week in our school. Our Third Year students were lucky enough to watch a French play when a group of performers came into our school and performed the play ‘Le Rôle’ for them. The students found the play very interesting as some of the students even took part in it.

We were so immersed in the French way of life, that we felt like we were on the streets of France each day of La Semaine Française.
