Beautiful Performances

A language cannot limit an emotion and that there is no specific language to say something that comes from the heart.  The French assembly which was held on Wednesday 27 November 2016 confirmed that.The event celebrated the French language and culture which took place in the Junior Hall was magic, rich and incredible. Feedback from the parents used words, such as“ magic” “incredible” ” rich”  “ professional performances”  and that some were on tears when they heard  the songs “ Je suis malade” and “ Mon amie la rose”.

 FrenchAssembly

During one hour, Junior School students enjoyed a cultural trip to France through beautiful French songs and acting. The audience has been transported by all the incredible singers who sang very famous French songs: Mon amie la rose, Une dernière danse, Je suis malade, Le passé,Madame la marquise,  Maman, On écrit sur les murs, Je te donne. 

They also laughed a lot watching the French news report and the soap opera “ Plus belle la vie” where many students showed their French sense of humour.
