French Day – September 12

French Day at Dayboro SS will take place on Friday,

September 12 (Week 9).

Dress-up Day

All students are encouraged to dress in French theme. This could be the colours of the French flag (dark blue, white and red), a popular French structure such as the Eiffel Tower, a French food item, a bottle of perfume, a famous French person from history or the present, or a character from a cartoon, movie or story. I am asking students to be creative and use what they have at home. They can also use ideas and costumes from previous years. There are lots of DIY ideas that come up in an online search. There is no cost for dressing up.

Other ideas: a mime artist, French traditional costumes, Madeline, an artist or even the painting itself.  

French Tuckshop

Thanks to our wonderful tuckshop helpers there will be a sumptuous selection of French-themed food available for pre-purchase. Watch the events section of School24.

Orders must be placed by Tuesday, September 9.

Activities

Also, I am organising some French activities during playtime on French Day. More details to follow.

Learning another language is so much more than learning just words. It encourages us to think about what shapes our views and opinions of the world.

We all have a culture; it isn’t something that we need to look for.
