RE: What can we learn from religions about deciding what is right and wrong?

Our young French learners have been busy developing their language skills through a fun and engaging tearoom role-play! The children loved stepping into the shoes of customers and waiters, practicing new vocabulary as they confidently ordered food and drinks, requested the bill, and even paid.

It was wonderful to see the children's spoken French flourish in such a practical and enjoyable setting.
