All Things Norman

Posted on: 27/04/2018

Over the Easter holidays, 40 of our 10s pupils (Year 6) were taken on a residential trip to Normandy. They packed a huge amount into just a few days.

They learnt how to make baguettes in a boulangerie; sampled local cuisine, including frogs legs and snails; visited a goat's cheese farm, and a caramel factory; purchased produce at a local market; and they participated in all these activities while simultaneously acquiring new French vocabulary!

A guided tour of Château de Falaise, birthplace of William the Conqueror, Bayeux Cathedral, and a trip to the Bayeux Tapestry were also opportunities to bring their learning of French History to life.
