Last week was “World Languages Week” at our school. Throughout the week all students got to do special activities to celebrate learning other languages. At our school some students study French, and some study Spanish. The older students in Middle and Upper School can also take Latin.

In first grade, we got to play pétanque outside. Before we went out, we learned the rules of the game and watched some videos about how to throw the ball correctly. We learned that the small ball is called le cochonet, which means “piglet,” and the bigger balls are called boules. We played two rounds. Zoe threw her boule closest to le cochonet the first time. The second round, Jorjica and Ollie were the winners. Do you like to play pétanque?
