# Focus on French - Hansel et Gretel

Pupils in Year 7-9 have been studying the fable, Hansel and Gretel, and seeing all those high frequency words and verbs in action.

Pupils listened and read along to the French version of the tale and then completed a series of guided reading tasks.

They finally brought the story to life by creating their own Gingerbread House which was of course labeled in French!
