This week our Year 13 French A Level students spent the day at Cheltenham Ladies’ College for a fantastic French film experience. They enjoyed two films, both of which were preceded and followed by some French language activities. First up in the morning was the intense drama, ‘A plein temps’, which tells the story of the stressful life of a single mum who’s juggling work, children, the nanny, and the running of the house. In the afternoon, students enjoyed the more light-hearted ‘Le Fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain’, which tells the story of a young woman who enjoys the simple things in life and who tries to spread joy as she goes.

Students thoroughly enjoyed both films, and had the opportunity to speak a lot of French throughout the day.
