C'est la dernière semaine complète!
All the students are now in revision mode.
JK & SK are working with vocabulary related to summer activities. Look for words such as: lampe de poche, tente, feu de camp, guimauve, sac de couchage... Today, they listened to 'Benjamin fait du camping'.
Grade 1 had fun with the jungle puppets and discovered which actions they can do and their animals could not do. This will continue tomorrow as well.
Grade 2 were counting by two in French 2 to 100. They reviewed the teen numbers that we use for 70 and 90. In other words, we did Math en français.
Then, they tested their abilities to recall a medley of vocabulary in writing.
Well done!
Grade 3 & 4 were away at C.F.F.C. today. On Tuesday, they will present their nature projects and these will go on display on the French bulletin board. Everyone is invited to have a look at these very creative 3 D forests.
Grade 5 were reviewing their adjectives and started their texts to descibe an endangered animal of their choice.
Grade 6 are reviewing 'Faire & Aller' and are preparing their publicity blurb for their summer camp. They are divided in 3 groups according to their interests.
They should present Thursday or Friday, depending on whether we have a track meet tomorrow.
Grade 7 & 8 are re-visiting their irregular adjectives...not an easy task! Passé composé with être is pretty well firmed up for everyone...albeit with the odd reminders...

Bonjour à tous!
We are now on the homestretch towards the summer vacation and the students are balancing the knowledge they acquired throughout the year and reflecting on how they apply what they have been learning.
All in all, it was a successful and productive year.
This week:
JK & SK are adding actions to the mode of transportation. We are using orange cones and today the children were given a set of instructions to travel from one cone to the other while acting out a specific vehicule. (i.e. un avion, une fusée, un train...)
Grade 1 did some seat work with cloze activities. The students are quite good at detecting the words to accompany an image.
Grade 2 are reviewing adjectives with different genders and composing their own sentences to illustrate their understanding.
Grade 3 & 4 worked on sentences with 'il y a un, une, des...' Où est la, le, l'...'
They are wonderful communicators and open-minded when it comes to speaking French. Bravo!
Grade 5 This morning we were treated to heartfelt poetry! The students used actions and very descriptive adjectives to describe their illustration of a weather event. Well done, everyone!
Grade 6 were the audience par excellence and gave their approval to the recitation. They also started a quiz on 'voir' which will be completed on Wednesday. Tomorrow, is the aquarium presentation.
Grade 7 & 8 read about modern construction around the world. They had to manage several dates and numbers. Good excercise for numbers 0 - 10,000...

With the warm summer like weather, the students are turning their attention to the great outdoors.

Grade 2 are stringing sentences about a variety of subjects and easily describe familiar objects.
Grade 3 & 4 have completed their nature walk and observation using their 5 senses. We now have an extensive word list and the students will team up for a larger project presentation.
