The children started off by learning various ways of greeting someone in French.
We watched a short clip about common greetings:
Then, we talked about what "Faire la bise" means.
French family,
friends, and some colleagues exchange kisses on both cheeks upon meeting and
leaving, as well as to congratulate or thank someone. This French gesture may also be made
by two people, especially children and young adults, introduced by a mutual
friend. The Year 3 pupils commented on how this is quite different from greeting someone in the UK ! The number of kisses exchanged can vary from region to region as shown on this map:
We followed on by introducing the question "Ça va ?" (How are you ?) along with different ways of responding.

Some pupils recorded their conversations using the app YAKiT Kids:
Bravo les enfants !
We ended the lesson by joining in with this fun greetings song...
