  17. What École Antione Pizonthink of our French animations • Hi Wilma! We've just come back to school this morning. Thank you very much for your DVD and your Easter cards. I'm sorry but I hadn't time to do some with my pupils. Animations about the novels are fabby and the sound too! Pupils loved the films and the explanations about making the animations. They were very happy to see themselves too. Florence • Hi Wilma! We have listened carefully to your video, and we understand quite well your French. It's funny because children speak with a very strong accent, but it's very enjoyable to listen to them. Moreover, it's a great performance to act the scenes in French, congratulations to them. See you soon. Florence
