During the ceremony, Mme. Villeneuve, Mme. Crossland and Mme. Giard presented the children with a French VIP Master Pass.
The aim of this scheme is to recognise and utilise the fabulous resource we have in class with our French speaking children, whilst giving them an opportunity to stretch their own knowledge base and use 21st century skills such as leading, collaborating, critical thinking and problem solving. Who better to aid with pronunciation or suggest ideas to our new learners, than those who use that language every day?
Mme. Marchbanks, French Department Assistant, commented on the enthusiasm of the children. “They act as our special ‘eyes and ears’ and it is lovely to see the children so excited to be supporting and celebrating the wonderful language diversity here at JPS!”.
Bravo!
