In the end of May we had a presentation on France by teacher Greg.  It started by listening to the French national anthem.

 

The first part of the presentation was about French geography and food. They have learnt that Paris is the capital city and Eiffel Tower is there.

 

Students had presentation of some French dishes and sweets like tartiflette, raclette, cakes, and macaron.

 

France is full of fun in summer.  Some of the French cultural festivals are inspired by neighbor countries such as corridas in the south west of France connected to Spain. French National day is on July 14th and there are popular balls where people go dancing. Summer means beaches, water and fun. France has many beautiful beaches and wavy areas for those who like surfing. People may enjoy getting lost in a temporary maze in a corn field.

 

Heritage of Middle-age and renaissance period, France has many castles. They are quite beautiful and open to visitors. It is possible to see the French garden style.
