7JB French with Mme Davies

Our first French remote lesson of term fell on 6th January so we enjoyed a remote lesson on Epiphany and how it is celebrated in France. It is traditional to make a flat, puff pastry cake to celebrate the arrival of the kings known as la Galette des Rois. We looked at the recipe in French together. Hidden inside is a small charm or figurine (une fève), traditionally a figure from the nativity. Whoever gets this in their slice is king for the day and wears a crown.

As a homework pupils were asked to either make a crown (see Holli Jenkins’ fantastic one) or a galette to share with their family. I was inundated with amazing pictures of their creations. Well done 7JB.

I hope families enjoyed eating them. They looked delicious! Enjoy a selection here.

7VW French with Mme Rowe

Here is some work from students in 7VW French. Some students made a ‘Galette des Rois’ at home after having learnt about how Epiphany is traditionally celebrated in France on the 6th January.
