Excursions

Excursions are  a key part of any educational trip and that is certainly true for a visit to Maison  Claire  Fontaine. We believe  absolutely in the power of engaging first hand with a different country and its culture and going out into the  beautiful and profoundly French region  we are in provides a fantastic  opportunity to really bring the language  and wider world  alive for children.

The excursions chosen by a visiting school will reflect the educational aims of the trip and often incorporate some element of cross curricular study. The groundwork from the point of view of the language and culture we are seeking to focus on during our excursions is done in lessons prior to the visit. Targeted and relevant vocabulary is covered along with any other information that will enhance and engage the children in the forthcoming visit. 

When out  on  the  excursions  you  choose  we will  encourage  and support  all pupils and  try to make sure that  they  gain the  maximum  language  benefits from all  of their  interactions with the local community. The excursions are  specifically  designed  and  executed to achieve this  and  we  are  proud of the enhanced impact this approach has on the children who visit us.
