Year 7 students were treated to a delightful taste of France this morning with a special French Breakfast event! Organised by the fantastic Monsieur Voisin and Madame Willis, the classroom was filled with the delicious aromas of a traditional French spread.
Students enjoyed a mouth-watering selection of classic French pastries, including freshly made crepes, buttery croissants, and pain au chocolat. To complete the authentic experience, there was plenty of rich hot chocolate and refreshing orange juice on offer. It was a wonderful opportunity for our Year 7 students to experience a bit of French culture and enjoy a truly scrumptious start to their day. A huge thank you to Mr. Voisin and Mrs. Willis for making this memorable event possible.
