On Friday, January 9, the French 5 students had their annual La Petite France.

La Petite France is a simulation of what it would feel like to visit France. The French 5 students run it for the less advanced classes.

The French teachers assign La Petite France as a final for the students. French 3 and 4 students are graded on how well they navigate the simulation. The French 5 students are evaluated on how well they can converse with and help the younger students.

Everyone involved in La Petite France is required to speak French the entire time while navigating different stations such as a bakery, art museum, and a cinema.
