Écris Moi

Our Years 5 and 6 were treated to an entertaining and amusing performance from Onatti Productions this week – Écris-moi.  Onatti peform unique content to schools in foreign languages all over Europe.

Écris-moi follows the story of Ashley and his French pen-friend Renée.  Having been encouraged by his French teacher to write an email to a student at their “twinned” school in France, Ashley assumes Renée is a boy, while Renée makes the same mistake and thinks Ashley is a girl.

Excited to receive each other’s emails, a great friendship soon develops, and their misunderstanding quickly becomes apparent when Ashley accepts Renée’s invitation to visit her in France.

Appropriately pitched to complement French language learning at a beginners level, our Years 5 and 6 recognised key phrases like ““Où habites-tu?” and“Qu’est-ce que tu aimes faire?” Here is what two of our pupils had to say:

“I thought it was very entertaining and really hilarious at certain points.” Arthur

“Difficult French language parts were made easy to understand.” Frank
