The Future Foundation School in partnership with Institut Français en Inde, Alliance Française du Bengale and Ecole des loisirs, organised a two day French Immersion Progamme on January 28 & 29, 2016. It was attended by students of Classes 1 to 8, studying French as Second or Third Language. It aimed at proficiency of the students in the French Language and development of cultural awareness while reaching a high level of academic achievement.
The first day started with a formal inauguration programme, where the different partners were felicitated. The French national anthem was played. A book fair was open to the students and their parents, where books for children, written in French, were displayed. This was followed by a book reading session where the French Professors from Alliance Française du Bengale and Ecole des loisirs, read excerpts from story books to the participants.
Several activities were also organised that involved interesting games and students had immense fun while playing and interacting. There was a mask making session on the second day to explain the nuances of French Art to the little ones. There was a wonderful cultural activity, including French music, song, poetry, dance, drama etc performed not only by the students of TFFS but also the students of two other participating schools.
A key attraction of the programme was the French meal, where the students enjoyed some sumptuous French delicacies. This was organised with the help of Alliance Française du Bengale where a French culinary expert had cooked the meal specially for the participants. The programme ended with a vote of thanks by our Principal. The students thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and their active participation and involvement contributed greatly to the success of the programme.
