“There's nothing a teacher treasures more than to see a pupil succeed.” |

Pupils in Year 9 and 8 have taken the opportunity to take place in a National School competition , encouraging them to produce a creative competition based on 10 words chosen as an emblem of the richness of the French language. The 10 words were: abricot, amour, bachi bouzouk, bijou, bizarre, chic, clown, mètre, passe-partout and valser. The Year 9 group (Trahearne Falvey, Charlie Keenan, James Wright, Tom Forfar, Leila Afghan, Fiona Thompson, Laura-Jo Dredge and Hanier Shiner) wrote the following poem: Charlie Le Clown
Une fois, il y avait un clown Il s'appellait Charlie. Il était étrange, Il disait toujours: Bachi Bouzouk
Il avait un amour, c'était les abricots parce qu'il pensait qu'il y avait des bijoux cachés dedans. Il était amusant, Il disait toujours: Bachi Bouzouk
Il n'était pas chic Mais il valsait élégamment. L'année prochaine, Il sera une grande célébrité. Il était spirituel, Il disait toujours: Bachi Bouzouk
Laura Nucinkis (Year 8) chose to concentrate on just one word: bijou Le bijou
Un bijou brilliant et luisant Un bijou
Un bijou Minuscule et miroitant Un bijou
Un bijou bien taillé D’une bonne couleur Mon bijou
Mon bijou Qui scintille! Une bague
Ma bague Dans ma poche Une proposition
Sa bague Incident incroyable, Sourire éblouissant Notre marriage
Hélas, we did not win but this is what Amélie Castets wrote in her letter to us, on behalf of the British Council and the Ambassade de France: “ Thank you for encouraging your pupils to participate in the French Language Week National Competition for which we received a large number of entries. Although your pupils’ work was not selected as a winner, we would like to congratulate them for their hard work and creativity in producing their entry.” The pupils involved will each receive a special certificate signed by Professor Mary Stiasny (Director Education and Training, British Council)
