7A & 7H had the wonderful opportunity to attend the French incursion and learn loads about the French culture, while still having fun! The incursion included songs with French instruments, sing-a-long songs, awesome dances that everybody joined in, and best of all, a real mime artist! He mimed to us many adventures and soon had all of us laughing, he was very convincing indeed! Overall, it was an amazing and educational experience.Student , Penola College, Glenroy
