Bastille Day Celebrations at MAS
On Friday 14th July 2017, Mulberry Academy Shoreditch held their first ever Bastille Day. Students and staff got to sample a French breakfast and French cuisine for lunch and there were lots of fun French culture quizzes and exercises during lessons, and also at break time and lunch time. Staff in the MFL Department also wore traditional French berets and scarves! French lessons took place in The Street (the communal atrium at the centre of the academy building) followed by Year 7 taking part in a Bastille Day treasure hunt, in which they needed to find clues around the academy in order to answer their question sheets.
“The activities in the hall were a really nice surprise. I really enjoyed Bastille Day.”
Juliann Gaskin
“It was fun to learn new things about the French community.”
Jasmine Adoroh
Bastille Day was a fantastic opportunity for the students to learn more about French, France and the other 28 countries where French is spoken!
