In our French lessons, we have been learning about ‘La Fête des Rois’ (Epiphany). Traditionally, this day is celebrated with an almond cake (‘la galette des Rois’) which has a charm hidden inside called a ‘fève’. The person who finds the charm in their slice is named king or queen for the day. Suri and Imogen had fun making (and eating!) the cake at home.
Bonne Année!
