Year 6 French Film Workshop

Year 6 Pipers Girls enjoyed a workshop at the Institut Français where they explored the story line of a French film; “Gus Petit Oiseau, Grande Voyage”. The film follows a hero’s journey with a most unlikely hero. Gus is a teeny tiny orphaned bird that has never left the nest, has no family, yet desperately wants one. That is, until he finds himself leading a flock on their migration to Africa.   

The Institut Français is part of the worldwide network promoting French language and culture and encouraging cross-cultural exchange and cultural diversity. As part of the workshop, the girls were challenged to use their French vocabulary to describe the poster. They used their knowledge of French colours, numbers and adjectives to work through a booklet, after which they enjoyed watching the film in French!
