Bonne Rentrée! Welcome Back !
I hope you and your family enjoyed the holidays and are looking forward to the 2018 school year.
I would like to inform you of the recent French Film Festival screenings for schools. There are three great movies on offer and I am hoping to take the years 5 and 6 to be immersed in some fun French and typical French tales. The screening I will be organising is about a naughty fox and other animals who seem to have an identity crisis.
We also have a French Day planned on May 1, and I have booked Philippe from C’est si bon ( It’s so good) to entertain us. More details will follow closer to the date.
For parents wishing to take their students to see some other French Films during the Festival I would recommend Belle et Sebastien 3. The story follows the adventures of a 12 year old boy who lives in the French Alps with his guardian and a dog called Belle, who was abandoned and neglected.
Belle has become mother to three beautiful pups. When a stranger arrives claiming to be Belle’s rightful owner, Sebastian finds himself in a position where he must protect his best friend and her little ones.
For those of you who like music the other movie La Melodie ( Orchestra) concerns a down-on-his-luck musician who, despite his talents, winds up teaching a sixth-grade orchestra. As far as depictions of contemporary Parisian middle-school life go, this is a realistic one, with Simon’s multicultural class of rambunctious, trash-talking 12-year-olds proving a test for his patience, yet one in which he ends up seeing potential, especially in a painfully shy but gifted boy, Arnold.
