World Cup 2026 #IAMTCA

 

On Thursday 25th June 2026, Year 7 students from Thomas Clarkson Academy and The Wisbech Academy enjoyed an exciting performance of Shipwrecked en France by Onatti Productions. 

The play tells the story of Max, a young English boy who becomes stranded along the French coast after drifting away on an inflatable dinghy. As he tries to find his way back to his family, he encounters a series of colourful French-speaking characters. Through humour, audience participation and plenty of misunderstandings, students were able to experience French in a fun, engaging and memorable way. The production is specifically designed for beginner French learners, combining English and French to build confidence and reinforce classroom learning. 

The performance was full of energy, laughter and interactive moments, with several students volunteering to take part on stage. Their enthusiasm helped bring the story to life and demonstrated excellent confidence in using their French. The actors created a lively atmosphere that encouraged all students to listen carefully, respond to familiar vocabulary and enjoy learning the language in a different context. 

The experience provided an excellent opportunity to reinforce key vocabulary, develop listening skills and gain a greater appreciation of French language and culture. It was a fantastic way to complement students' learning in the classroom, and Year 7 thoroughly enjoyed this entertaining and educational performance. 

Many thanks to Onatti Productions for another inspiring visit and well done to all of our Year 7 students for their enthusiastic participation and excellent behaviour throughout the performance.
