NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER

We are almost in the homestretch! Between the PYP exhibition, the track and field competition and the PD day, the students are doing their best to learn about the remaining components for their respective grades.

Grade 5/6 students wrote their good copy of a letter to a fellow students at another school. This year, the schools they corresponded with are: East Garafraxa P.S. and St Andrew P.S.
They also applied themselves to fold a letter the correct way and addressed an envelope. In the days of email, it is a dying art. All in all,  they were keen to share  their likes with other kids.

Grade 3/4 The concert is fast approaching and the students are working on their skits. The whole class is happily offering innovative  ideas and taking ownership of the concepts presented. 

Grade 7/8 have started on an exciting unit! It is all about travelling across Canada, COAST TO COAST TO COAST. They are learning about all possible modes of transportation. Today was all about the subways around the world.

Grade 1/2 are working on habitats. So, during French, they began underground with 'un ver de terre'. The rest of the week, they will hear life stories from 'L'araignéee et la mouche'.

PK/JK/SK were introduced to parts of the house. They have a riddle...let them tell you all about it. When they saw the book of the ver de terre, they requested the story as well. Great work!
