Stratford College had a great time celebrating Francophone week from 18th - 22nd March. In French lessons we learned about the great number of countries around the world where French is spoken, and throughout the week students created posters to celebrate these countries.
In P.E. students enjoyed playing Pétanque - very competitively! - and learning about how the classic French game has roots all the way back to civilisations they are learning about in Classical Studies.
Finally Transition Year students held a wonderful quiz for the Junior Cycle students, incorporating excellent rounds celebrating literature and Purim in French.

It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
