Teach Secondary Issue 13.6

1 OUTDOOR LEARNING After immersing themselves in Normandy’s natural beauty and historical sites, students can participate in outdoor team-building activities at the château. Engaging in games like archery tag, frisbee golf, ‘It’s a Knockout!’ or a blind trail not only reinforces teamwork, but also integrates physical activity with lessons learned during the day’s explorations. 2 LOCAL LANGUAGE INTERACTION Enhance language acquisition by letting students explore real-world scenarios – like visiting a French market, or the local caramel factory. Follow this with an interactive crêpe night at the château, where students can apply their language skills in a relaxed and culturally rich environment, making language learning both practical and enjoyable. 3 CULINARY EXPERIENCES Complement your visits to a goat cheese farm or traditional biscuit factory with on-site tastings of French delicacies, like snails and mussels. This controlled setting lets students explore authentic French cuisine, bridging their off-site learning with a hands-on culinary experience that will deepen their cultural understanding. 4 CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL SYNTHESIS After visiting sites such as Pegasus Bridge or the D-Day Museum, facilitate a discussion during an on-site barbecue or fancy dress event. The informal setting allows students to reflect on their experiences, fostering a deeper connection to the material through shared insights and relaxed dialogue.
