Holywell School Welcome Children from Ferques

This week Holywell school welcomed children from our twin village of Ferques and its commune in France.

On Thursday 19th of March 52 excited year 5 & 6 French children arrived by coach at 9:00am. The visitors quickly settled down in the school hall with hot bacon rolls & orange squash and were reintroduced to their English counterparts, some of whom have already been pen-pals and friends over the internet.

Various exercises were attempted at the tables where the children both English and French, boys & girls were deliberately mixed up and given simple language based tasks to complete, this continued throughout the day interspersed with games outside.

After lunch a delightful bi-lingual singing session was organised before the children boarded their coach to return home.

For me it was nice to meet my counterpart M Christian Finance who is Le President (Chairman) of our French Jumelage (Twinning Group).

Upchurch Twinning group are already busy planning more activities for the slightly older ones amongst us later in the year and another visit by our children to France is also planned for this autumn.
