MFL and Twinning

Crossley Street Primary School is twinned with St Louis School in Privas. Privas is a city in the Ardèche region of France.

We have continuing links with Privas and promote the teaching of French as an additional language as part of our Modern Foreign Language Curriculum.  French is taught across school from Pre-School to Year 6.  We are using the 'Camembear' scheme in Foundation Stage and KS1 and 'Kapow' in KS2.

French Day

We had a fabulous food themed French Day in school! We learnt all about the annual lemon festival in Menton, designed our own French delicacies (and sampled some too!), played French playground games outside and we had lots of fun with our very Own Camembear!

Crossley Street make the French press!

Carole Avison-Wood, who is in charge of Wetherby Twinning, and a close friend of our school, took some of the posters that our Key Stage 1 French club had made for our friends in Privas, as well as other English gifts for the school....even a "happy birthday" banner, all the way to St. Louis School! The result was...we made the French press, thanks to our ongoing communications!
