NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER

Grade 5/6 each presented a movie poster (affiche) and a critique. Everyone's work was both original and interesting. The poster will be displayed on the bulletin board in the French room. Feel free to stop by at the end of this week.

Grade 3/4 presented their chosen Canadian wild animal and described their habitat, food source and their general appearance.  Well done! They too, will have their work posted on the board. They had a great pictures as well. The students have been working on this project for more than a week and many of them for the last two weeks. The unit will wrap up at the end of the week, then, they will investigate companion animals.

Grade 7/8 completed the introduction of La Chasse aux Indices. This unit will see them becoming investigators and detectives. More to come on this subject.

JK/SK students acted out apple picking en Français. We have a comptine (saying) about the wind through the apple orchard, complete with apples falling to the ground.

Grade 1/2 students started their family presentation. They discovered the use of mon and ma and the concept of masculine and feminine. The funny part was when they started asking about everything around them for the gender. In French, there really is no 'it'.
