NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER

Grade 5/6 started the day with a discussion on why good pronunciation is so important. Ideas such as mis-communication, mésentendu, conflit, conséquence, conversation and action were all related to correct or incorrect information and the problem that can derive from it. Then, they proceeded in reading different sounds and practicing them. We call it gymnastics for the mouth.

Grade 3/4 were completing their word search on wild animals of Canada. We also listened to a few of their sounds and tried to find them on the list of words.
If the word search is not finished, then it is homework. Then the list has to be written in the workbook.

Grade 7/8 students took up the correction of their homework and we added a listening skill on page 14. After one reading pass, the students teamed up to do their corrections .and then we had a second reading of the text. This was a successful morning.

JK/SK sang their heart out this morning and we welcome Seth to our French circle. This morning we had students hunting down objects of designated colours. The 30 minutes goes by so quickly.

Grade 1/2 students took turns at greeting each other, asking Comment ça va, comment t'appelles-tu and quel âge as-tu ...Vanessa, Victoria and Alex earned house points for being great leaders in the rehearsal. Bravo!
