# La Plume Française

On Wednesday 17th December, we welcomed two visitors from l’Institut Français. In perfect timing prior to Revd. Norris’ last day as our headteacher, they presented our school with the LabelFrancÉducation, giving us the good news that the school has been awarded this for the next five years.

As this was a rather last-minute visit, we held a low-key ceremony with all of Year 6 present, alongside Sequoia and Willow classes, who both wowed our visitors with their beautiful performances of ‘L’Oiseau et l’Enfant’ and ‘Étoile de Noël’.

When our visitors had a tour of the school, they were overjoyed to see the bilingual ethos that is clearly established within our school. They asked that we extend their congratulations to the whole staff team and our whole school community.

On this note, we would also like to take this opportunity to thank the francophone parent helpers, who have been making recordings of our Sami et Julie reading scheme (which will be launched in January), and volunteering to hear readers on a regular basis. Merci beaucoup!

And finally… Nous vous souhaitons de très belles fêtes de fin d’année!

Our parent volunteers give their time generously, putting our value of Love into action.
