NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER

Enfin, le premier bulletin est fait! What a fantastic first term for everyone.

Grade 3/4 are very interested in precious stones and minerals. So, they are doing some research on the subject. A few students asked if they could bring books on precious stones to look at. This group is consistently asking questions. Good on them!

Grade 5/6 worked on expressions with the verb avoir. In English,  they would say I am cold, in French we say j'ai froid. They were quick to catch on and make up their own expressions and sentences.

Grade 7/8 are still working on the comparative and superlative. It is all about the agreement of the adjective with the noun. There is still work to be done.
Also, the students identified the demonstrative adjectives. Hum! Yes, it is still about the agreement......

Grade 1/2 completed an activity on the spelling of specific buildings. For the most part, the students were able to self check their answers by solving the hidden word in the solution.

JK/SK are growing so fast. On days like today, they come in the classroom and get organized with their routine with hardly any help. They sing their concert lullaby, at least the first part, by heart.

Enjoy the weekend!
