7JB French with Mme Davies As a homework pupils were asked to either make a crown (see Holli Jenkins’ fantastic one) or a galette to share with their family.

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.
Students were introduced to the Environmental Nightwear project that they are completing this term and they have analysed the design brief and have carried out research into their customer.
