France compared to New Zealand

Answering our friends from France!

We've been very excited this year to be collaborating with Mr Galligani CM2 Class in Brindas School. They've been wonderful helping us with the learning of our French, and they had some questions about Auroa Primary School and School in New Zealand. Harry's already answered a lunch based question about how we eat our lunch. The following videos created by students in our class answer their questions about our Swimming Pool, Field and the Classrooms. Make sure you follow the link and check out their amazing class page. The students wanted to know about the size of the meadow at our school. We sent Joe, Jordan and Caleb to our School Field to show the students from France what ours looks like!

French at Auroa Primary School

Every Friday we have the Auroa Primary School Junior STEM program for our Y1-3 students.  At the same time for our seniors we have Kapa Haka and Japanese.  We have a third group of students who are learning French.  Earlier this year we were contacted by the CM Brindas School from Brindas in the Rhone-Alps in France.   We're going to be collaborating with them in the near future - however the fact that they are naturally French speakers and the fact that we're learning French seem too good of an opportunity for us to pass up.  Our students produced these examples of them speaking basic French.
