French culture course

Children from Tiernaboul National School have become experts on French language and culture after completing an eight-week course.

On Monday, the children in fifth and sixth classes marked the completion the Say Yes to Languages Modern Languages Sampler, the national initiative organised by Post Primary Language Ireland (PPLI) with a little celebration of all things French.

Children dressed as fashionistas, footballers, bakers or wore their own clothes as French children don’t wear uniforms. A crème de la crème banquet of French foods was just the right way to complete the sampler ‘en beauté’ before saying ‘Au revoir’ to French teacher Hélène Olivier-Courtney, from ‘French For All’, Killarney School of French.

This initiative promotes an inclusive and proactive approach to make this language journey meaningful and enjoyable. The children not only got a taste of the French language but also of the French and francophone culture. Songs, projects and games and artistic activities were all part of this enjoyable programme. The school applied for the Language Sampler last year and were delighted to be selected as one of the schools to run it. The success of the initiative relies on a school-wide approach and the active involvement of class teachers, SNAs and management.

Ms. Karol Fleming, class teacher, Ms. Fiona Cronin SNA and Ms. Maria Breen, principal certainly helped make this new language journey a special and enjoyable experience for all the children.
