Year 8 French Study Day

20 of our Year 8 French students attended a morning of language activities at the Institut français based on one of the two most popular French films of all time. 'La Grande Vadrouille' broke all records when it came out in 1966.

The film features two of France’s most famous comic actors: Louis de Funès and Bourvil who go on an epic voyage through occupied France to the free zone as they help British pilots to avoid German captivity during WW2. Our students coped very well with language exercises on the world of cinema and the specialist vocabulary needed to describe it.

The film enabled students to establish connections with what they recently covered in their history lessons, namely the evacuation of British and French troops from Dunkirk.

Thank you to Mme Komuves for accompanying the trip.
