Foreign Languages: French Beginners (Term 2)
In this course we will build on the equivalent of one term of part-time study of French where students have already learned to share greetings, personal information, made simple orders in a café / restaurant and seek directions. There will be some revision of the existing skills and knowledge and then the class will progress to placing more demanding orders, and learn the way that the verbs ‘to be’ (etre) and ‘to have’ (avoir) have wide application in French. The course will be online with plenty of lively interaction in full group and in small break-out groups.

History: Murder Most Horrid: The Rise of Crime as Entertainment in the 19th Century Day School
The nineteenth century saw an explosion in interest in ‘Sensational Crimes’ which gripped the nation and dominated the press. These crimes soon became the inspiration for popular entertainment, and a visit to the theatre to enjoy a retelling of a bloodcurdling murder or curling up with a fictionalised account of a real-life serial killer’s deeds were the favourite pastimes of many people.

Art Appreciation: Mirrors and Reflections in Art
Mirrors are present in several masterpieces, such as Van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, Velazquez’s Las Meninas and Manet’s Un Bar aux Folies-Bergères. In these, mirrors and the reflections they reveal are often enigmatic as they add another dimension to what we (think we) see and deepen the work’s meaning.
In this session, we will look at the different ways in which mirrors and reflected images have been included in works of art. As we do so, we will investigate the symbolism of the mirror in Western art and culture.
