Sonning Common Primary School
Year 6 French performance evening
Five plays, all performed in French! They were all modern day takes on traditional fairy tales: Dorothy goes Shopping, Goldilocks, Rapunzel and the Eiffel Tower, Cinderella, and The Three Little Pigs go to School.
I am proud beyond words! All the children have worked so hard in recent months, learning their lines and attending lunchtime rehearsals. Their performances were incredible! A very special evening that I will remember always. I have loved being part of their academic journey so far.
Madame Baillie
To stand up and perform on stage is for most a challenging task but to stand there and perform in another language is phenomenal! What they’ve achieved is something that many of them doubted they could. They have proven to themselves that anything is possible if you have courage to step out of your comfort zone and work hard towards something. They should all be incredibly proud of themselves.
Madame Baillie
The Year 6 French play was fantastic! You could see how much effort the children put into learning their lines, and how hard Madame Baillie worked to make it a success. It was wonderful to see each child have the opportunity to shine and to see the whole year group coming together to put on an unforgettable performance. They all did incredibly well!

It made me feel very proud to be part of the year 6 French play. When I auditioned it was something I never thought I’d be able to do, but Madame Baillie encouraged us and I am very thankful to her.
Phoebe (Y6 pupil)
Oscar absolutely loved taking part in the performance, which was so much fun thanks to all the hard work of Madame Baillie! Oscar is normally very reluctant to get up and speak or perform in front of a crowd, so for him to willingly get involved, put on a great performance and come off stage buzzing with energy telling me how much he enjoyed the experience was so wonderful to see! Madame Baillie has worked phenomenally hard, with a fantastic script (huge comedy value!) and getting all the kids to not only learn their lines, but in French, is amazing! I'm so proud that Oscar is part of such a supportive and encouraging school, and is surrounded by a wonderful circle of friends who all got equally involved. Well done all!

Madame Baillie and Year 6 treated their audience to a magnificent performance on Thursday evening, totally in French! A great evening which showcased the talent of our children, both in their French language skills and their acting, ably supported by great props and brilliant stagehands. Thanks to all who helped on the evening and to the children for putting in the effort to learn their words and give up their lunchtimes rehearsing. The biggest MERCI goes to Madame Baillie for her endless enthusiasm and brilliant language teaching which gave the children the skills and confidence to perform.
