Francovision 2010 Congratulations to 7T with “T’es si mignon”. Well done, and look out for your picture in the paper!
Francovision 2009 Finalists: 7N and 7L. Winners!!!! 7N with Sous le meme drapeau. If you go back to the Front Page of this blog, you can find a video of last year’s winners.
The Francovision Song Contest is for pupils in Year 7. When you start French at Northgate some of you have already done some French, some of you haven’t. We like to start with something completely different.
The rules: Each group learns a real French pop song off by heart. They perform it to camera, then the films are shown in assembly. Each year group votes and a winner is chosen. Last year the winners were 7T singing “Le Monde Entier est un Cactus” – the whole world is a cactus.
The important things we want you to be good at in French are:
Learning off by heart
Knowing how to pronounce French words
Thinking of French as real communication, not just in lessons
Enjoying French culture
Most groups have now filmed their song. The assemblies are booked for different year groups to watch the films and vote:
Year 7 on Wednesday 9th December, Y8 on Friday 11th December, and the Final, with Year 10 and 11 voting on Monday 14th December.
7R did “Je vais vite” by Lorie. Click here to see the words.
7A did “Fais pas ci, fais pas ca” by Jacques Dutronc. You can see some French school kids doing their karaoke version on Vodpod. Click here for the words of the song.
Thank you for putting this song on for me Sir.
Thanks again

7G are doing ‘Ma Valise’ by Dorothee. We have filmed the song and had a great time! It was so fun learning a song in French and all getting to dress up in our holiday props. The song is about a French girl packing her suitcase to go on holiday and all the things she put in it. 7G really enjoyed filming our song and I would like to thank Madam Moyle for choosing a brilliant song and it letting us look forward to our French lessons.

I’m in the same class as Katie, and I also had great fun filming the video, and can’t wait to watch them all.
Will we be able to see our videos on the website?
Hi Ashley,
I haven’t put up all the videos because we need to have image consent from everyone in your group before we can show them to people outside Northate.
