Bonjour! Hola! Ciao! Guten Tag! Or as
they say in plain, old, boring English,
Hello! Fancy a foreign film, but don’t
know which one to watch, well here’s a
few I’d recommend:
•Priceless; Will a case of mistaken identity
stop true love from running its course? Will
Gold Digging Irene (Audrey Tautou) and
waiter/barman Jean (Gad Elmaleh) ever get together? After
Irene’s (very) elderly lover gets drunk and falls asleep on
her birthday she goes to the bar and she meets Jean. After
drinking, several, of his impressive cocktails, they drunkenly
retire to the biggest and best suite of the hotel. A year later,
Irene and Jacques- her elderly gentleman friend- returns to
the hotel where Jacques proposes! But when Jean and Irene
meet again, history repeats itself. But as Jacques calls off
the engagement to his cheating fiancée, Irene lying about
how she and Jacques really ended and Jean’s true identity
is discovered, will true love run smoothly for our French
friends?
•Coco before Chanel: Gabrielle Chanel finds herself
working in a bar, several years after leaving the orphanage
where her father had abandoned her. She is both a
seamstress and a singer, earning her the nickname ‘Coco’
from the songs she sings with her sister. After a liaison with
the charismatic Baron Balsan gives her entry into French
High Society and a chance to develop her gift for designing
really popular hats.
A taste of Europe
Will falling in love with English Businessman Arthur Capel
see Coco’s life run smoothly? But is Arthur Capel really what
he seems and will his past catch up with him?

•Puss in Boots: Who can beat Shrek’s feline accomplice?
Who can beat him speaking pure SPANISH! Childhood
friends and his hometown test Puss’ loyalty in this animated
fairy tale comedy. Will Humpty Dumpty have egg on his
face? (I’m so sorry I had to CRACK a joke! I’m so sorry; I
don’t know what came over me, it shan’t happen again I
assure you). Will the Mother Goose succeed in finding her
baby? And will romance between Puss and Kitty Softpaws
blossom? Or will it be sour milk?
All three films are HIGHLY recommended and I’m sure you’ll
enjoy watching them.

THIS term in the MFL department we made food in Italian lessons.
After learning a bit about food Mrs Croxall let use make pizzas and the
day after all the groups got to do a food tasting with food from Italy,
Spain, France and Germany!
Firstly, the pizza making was fantastic. We had a recipe
which was written in Italian and we had to use our Italian
skills to work out what the recipe said. We had to do it
step by step and it was a lot of fun and tasted delicious!
A day after, all language groups took part in food
tasting from the different countries that we learn about in
lesso ns. My favourite was Spain as the food was hot, spicy
and delicious! I also enjoyed the Italian food as well which
was really tasty. Overall, I enjoyed these two activities and
would definitely do them again!

THIS term in Italian we did food as a topic. We got to do
a food tasting day where we tried lots of different foods
from Italy, Spain, France and Germany. The French brioche
and pain au chocolat were my favourites but I also ate
many other things from the other countries such as squid
from Spain and cheese and ham from Germany. In another
lesson we also went into the food technology rooms and
made our own Italian pizzas with the help of a recipe
which was in Italian so it was quite hard. By
using a baguette and a range of toppings
such as chicken, tomato, cheese and
pineapple, we produced a simple pizza.
It was really tasty and I really hope we
can do it again.

Pizza
IN ITALY food is very important so
we in 8C1 and 8C2 decided with the
help from Mrs Croxall we should have
a go at making the amazing tastes of
Italy. We went to food technology and
made a plain pizza, extremely simple
with an immense taste. We had to
follow an Italian recipe and use Italian
tomatoes and many toppings including
pepperoni, ham, cheese, peppers and
sweet corn. Then we put them in an
oven for about 5 minutes and then,
BOOM, we had a delicious pizza. It was
really interesting the next day to study
pizza in class and we found out many
facts and weird topping combinations.
The lesson was really good and we
should do more.
