An Amazing Day at Disneyland with Year 10 Year 10 had an unforgettable adventure at Disneyland, packed with fun, excitement, and magical moments from start to finish! We raced on thrilling roller coasters, enjoyed spectacular shows, and even met some of our favourite Disney characters. During the day, everyone had free time to explore the park with friends. Pupils visited the themed lands, browsed the souvenir shops, and experienced even more exciting rides and attractions. Many took the opportunity to practise their French by confidently using phrases such as « Bonjour ! », « S'il vous plaît », « Merci beaucoup », and « Combien ça coûte ? » when speaking to staff and ordering food. It was a fantastic way to build confidence while experiencing French culture first-hand. To finish the day, we enjoyed a delicious dinner at a buffet restaurant, where everyone was able to choose from a fantastic variety of dishes. From tasty main courses to tempting desserts, there was something for every appetite, and everyone agreed it was « délicieux ! » The trip was a huge success, giving everyone the chance to make lasting memories, strengthen friendships, improve their French language skills, and experience the magic of Disneyland together. « À bientôt, Disneyland ! » – we can't wait to visit again!
