Year 7 Trip to Normandy – June 200886 Year 7 pupils and 9 staff spend the week in the beautiful region of Normandy in northern France as part of their enhanced curricular studies. As well as practising their French in real life situations in shops and at a local market, pupils learned about the history of this region with a visit to the abbey of Mont Saint Michel, Fougères castle and the 360 degree cinema to Arromanche - site of the D- Day landings. They were given sweets by shopkeepers in the market town of Coutainville who were so impressed with their behaviour and willingness to try out the language. They also visited the Bayeux tapestry, the Drakar chocolate factory and the Saint Malo aquarium. The pupils feedback from this trip has been very positive and we are hoping to increase numbers to 120 pupils next year. Here are some of the photos of our trip. S. French (Assistant Head Teacher)
