On Friday evening, all the host families were invited to come to the school’s main hall to eat together and take part in a quiz about French culture, in English, of course!

Everyone started arriving around 6:30 pm.

Everyone ate their own dinner. Some were very traditional – here’s a photo of a beautiful cream tea – with scones, clotted cream, lemonade and even ginger beer ( a typical British soda with no alcohol despite having the word beer in its title).

Families were invited to bring a cake to share…

And they were all amazing and totally delicious.
A prize was awarded to the best cake. Here’s the winner…

Then the quiz began. Three rounds of ten questions about French culture. Mr Edmonds was our fantastic quiz host. All the questions in English were explained to the French pupils so that they could help their host team to win. It was great to see everyone working on their communication skills and having fun trying to understand each other. True teamwork!

And the winners were…the « Qu’ils mangent de la brioche » team.

Well done to everyone for making the evening such a success. Around 8:30 pm it was time to head home. There were lots of ideas being shared about the weekend so We are really looking forward to hearing about them on Monday.

Some were even racing into the weekend!
