Relevance to CfE capacitiesThese projects helped students to:
Realise the importance of languages: it was interesting for pupils
to learn a new language because they could show their families some
new things and share them together;Become more confident: pupils
saw that they could do a lot with their level of French, and that
they could do very well with practice;Learn more about French
culture: pupils discovered aspects of France that they didnt know
about before, and had fun doing so.

Quotes from learners/teachers
3I have found my time at the French Cookery Club immensely
enjoyable and have recreated the dishes at home. I loved cooking
with my classmates and having an insight of what life must be like
for people my age in France. Rich with both culture and flavour,
all of the dishes were very easy and fun to make. I especially
loved making crepes as I have always wanted to, but never been sure
how to recreate the delicious delicacy. Costing no more than 1.50
each week, the club was also very affordable and I enjoyed walking
away with freshly made food that I hadnt paid a lot of money for.
The French Cookery Club has been amazing, I simply cant express how
much I have enjoyed it and urge anyone with an interest in French
culture, delicious food, or fun socialising to attend.Student
In her year here Agathe worked with S1 pupils in a French
cooking club. Every fortnight Agathe and a group of S1 pupils met
and prepared some typical French recipes including crpes,
croque-monsieur and pommes-au-four. Agathe looked at the recipes in
French with the pupils, they prepared the dishes and whilst they
were cooking Agathe showed some French animations on the theme of
healthy eating.Teacher
