Best of luck to all our 6th years taking their LC French and German Oral Exams starting Monday. Remember to stay calm, go over everything you have been preparing in advance and don't cram notes in on the day! Whilst waiting for the exam why not try taking as many deep breaths as you can, feeling your feet firmly planted on the ground and your focus on your breath - don't panic!
