Français à Oxley!
Crepe Day
Students in French and Year 7 Language Arts classes enjoyed Crêpe Day this term. They were rewarded for ordering in French and their comments ranged from “c’est bon, bon, bon!” to “très bon!”, “miam miam!” and “délicieux!”
Next term, students will be sampling croissants dipped in hot chocolate like French children do, and graphing class preferences, so will get the chance to wish each other “Bon appétit!” again soon.
Pétanque
Pétanque is a fun and exciting game that originated in Provence, France. It falls into the category of boules sports, which also includes games like bocce and lawn bowls. The objective of pétanque is to score points by throwing or rolling metal balls, called boules, as close as possible to a smaller wooden ball called the cochonnet. The game is played on hard dirt or gravel and can be enjoyed in public areas or dedicated facilities called boulodromes.
Elvo Lawn is a great place for an afternoon of pétanque!
