Year 8 and 9 French Film Festival Excursion

The experience of watching Le Trésor du Petit Nicolas, or Little Nicholas’ Treasure, was magnifique! The fifteen minute walk/battle through the wind and light rain to Norton Street for the movie was worth it, as we were delighted in watching the third installment in the Le Petit Nicolas series.

The Years 8 and 9 French classes were accompanied by Mesdames Walker, Maddox and Salisbury to the cinema. We were fortunate enough to have the cinema all to ourselves and sat and watched the story for 1 hour and 43 minutes. Nicolas, the main character, went through a crisis as his father was promoted to work in the south of France, away from Nicolas’ friends. Nicolas and his gang, the ‘Invincibles’, try to stop this from happening.

The excursion itself was a wholesome experience as we were able to sit with our friends and snack on unhealthy food in the dark, for almost two hours. The movie motivated us to understand as much French as possible and was beneficial in introducing us to new words and expressions in the French language.
