Bonjour!

Thankyou to all the parents who have recently viewed and responded to their children’s work samples that we sent home from Yr 2 and Yr 3. It was very rewarding to receive such appreciative and enthusiastic comments.

Currently in the school office entrance there are some great pieces of Yr 6 and Yr 5 French are on display, it’s a shame I could not display everyone’s work, they are very pleasing work samples!

Please remember the amazing “Van Gogh Alive” Exhibit at the Supreme Court Gardens if you able to go along. It is an experience not to miss!

During his time in France, Vincent van Gogh lived in Paris, Arles and Saint-Remy-de-Provence and finally in Auvers-sur-Oise just outside Paris, where he died in 1890. The fact that he spent much of his working life in France leads many to wonder whether he was French. He was in fact Dutch, born in Zundert in the Netherlands in 1853. In 1888, after spending a few years living in Paris, van Gogh decided to move to the South of France. The unique light in Provence fascinated him and the quality of life there suited him.

We will enjoy exploring Van Gogh’s artistic contributions to the world in lesson time.

Bonne semaine,

Madame Wilderspin
