NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER

If you have missed the French blog this week, I apologize. There was a connectivity problem at the school and since I live in a rural area, the internet...

Grade 5/6 are still working on the agreement of a variety of adjectives. Thank you to Ben and Abby for researching the type of clothing of the French society and army back in 1914. It generated a lot of discussion regarding the how and why of fashion at the time. We choose this period in preparation for International Mindedness Day later this month.
The students also learned the words paix, pays and liberté to commemorate Remembrance Day.

Grade 3/4 also had the opportunity to learn the above mentioned vocabulary and they took turns to explain why they would chose liberté over paix. Then, they continued working on their IB profile portrait and attributes because, you know feelings rock!!! Just ask your child if a feeling can be written in stone. One hint, they each received an engraved stone with a feeling.

Grade 7/8 are now into unit 3, Les animaux bizarres. But, today Connor surprised everyone by telling us why he choose la liberté over la paix...ALL IN FRENCH!!!!

JK/SK had a treat today. We had a movie with the different characters searching for vegetables in the garden as well as fishing. The series is called Passe-Partout.

Grade 1/2 teamed up to work on a word search containing the vocabulary related to the face. All of this week was dedicated to HENRIE! He is a very funny looking guy...just ask them.

I wish everyone a good time on this extended weekend.
