French Language Detectives at château du tertre, normandy for primary schools

C’est aujourd’hui que je parle français!

Take your pupils on a PGL trip to France and bring back confident, excited children - children who want to show off their improved French language skills!

Our French Language Detectives course for Key Stage 2 teaches French through achievable, modular activities in authentic, inspiring surroundings.

Whether it's buying a croissant from the local boulangerie or speaking to the locals at the market, it's a great opportunity for some hands-on, practical learning and a chance for your pupils to really make the most of being in France.

Your PGL French Language Representative will be there to support you and help your pupils benefit from every language-learning opportunity.

There'll be a mix of activities to keep everyone engaged during their time away. There’ll also be a workbook for your pupils to complete and bring back to school with them.

It'll be a memorable trip that will inspire and motivate, delivering tangible educational benefits.

Your tailored excursion programme is all about exploring and discovering the history, culture and sights of the region. Pupils develop their communication skills as they work together and make fantastic memories of their time in France.
