Joyeuses Pâcques!

This week all the year groups have learnt about Easter traditions in France and did different activities around Pâcques.

Year 3 made poissons d'avril and took them home, ready to put on their friends back on the 1st of April!

Year 4 learnt a poem and made some beautiful egg cards:

Year 5 made calligrams in the shape of cloches volantes. We took the vocabulary from this wordle created by Fun with French  and we used the template from Light Bulb Languages.

Year 6 wrote these lovely cards for our French penpals at École Providence in Paris. You can find the template in Light Bulb Languages too.

Do you know the legend about the flying bells? At Sudbury, we have really enjoyed it!

Have a look at the activities we did last year.

Poisson d'avril

Today, Y3 had great fun creating poissons d'avril and sticking them on their partners' back. Some of them preferred to take the paper fish home and wait until the 1st of April to stick it on a relative's or friend's back.

Easter activities

KS1 have been learning about Easter in France. We looked at what is celebrated in a similar way and what is different in the French tradition: the church bells fly to Rome on Good Friday and fly back on Easter Sunday to scatter Easter eggs to the children. 

We also learnt an Easter finger rhyme. Click on the white spot to listen to the Year 2 children saying the poem.

Finally we read a story of our favourite French character, Trotro and his friend Nana, going on an egg hunt.
