SAMBA
For two months Mrs Ledingham’s S3 French pupils worked on an interdisciplinary project based on the French movie “Samba”. They investigated the issues that migrants face when arriving in a new country, and what it means to be a “sans papier”. In addition to discussing prejudice against migrants, in French, our pupils have looked at the history of migrants with Miss Ball (History Department) and made comparisons with the modern world. Miss Owens (School Librarian) ran a workshop on the portrayal of migrants in the media, whilst another highlight of the project was the recording of a rap, organised by Miss Walker (Music Department), to address the issues of the Calais Jungle as highlighted by “The Calais Sessions” album. To complete the project the pupils produced fake twitter pages, in French, describing the experiences of a migrant arriving in the Calais Jungle – this work will contribute to the achievement of our Silver Award as a “Rights Respecting School”.
