NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER


Bravo, c'est enfin la fin de semaine.

The youngest students discussed the notion of time and found similarities in much of the words we rehearsed. Vocabulary: une seconde, une minute, une heure, l'horloge, le jour et la semaine and of course, bonne fin de semaine. They also were in the mood for singing tunes we have learned this year.

The grade 1 completed a cloze activity on a story then, we had a counting competition. Great way to end the week.

Many of the grade 4 students were at The Battle of the Books competition. So, all the students remaining in grade 3 and 4 picked up the lines for the absentees and competently filled in for the characters.  I am very proud of them.

This morning, the grade 5 read chapter 7 of their novel and are working quite independently on the comprehension activities.

The grade 6 started researching a property for sale in Quebec. This will be the basis for their real estate unit presentation.

The grade seven did a short research on Braille as a universal code. Great findinds here! Also, we investigated other usefull codes such as the alphabet vocabulary used in radio communication. Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot... Then, they proceded to spell words in French using these.  Great fun!!!
