NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER

Grade 3/4 Today was picture day and everyone looked their best! That gave me an opportunity to take a photo and wish Ms Halmilton a happy birthday in French. The students sang in French, had balloons and presents. They are so thoughtful.
They have started to apply the plural to familiar vocabulary and learned that if nouns were used in the plural we added an S at the end, BUT if it already had one, it was to be left alone. Oh, but that was not all! If it ended with -eau then you add X.  They were very quick and clever with this concept.

Grade 7 worked from their textbook and tested themselves by using these high frequency verbs: aller, faire, aimer, avoir, être. They are called auxiliary verbs. It is important to master these verbs, so they are homework!

Grade 8 read their paragraph about themselves to each other, peer edited it before presenting them to me. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of their work. Then, I read them the selection from the textbook p.16,17, Une journée à mon goût. We are starting on the reflexive verbs. They have to fill in their activity sheet using some of the verbs in the side bar.

Grade 5/6 First, I want to wish Jasmine a farewell goodbye. You have been a delight to have in French class and I wish you all the best on this new adventure.

Today, we worked on the formation of the impératif! This verb tense will come handy when working on your recipe presentation.

Congrats to Jada, who already worked on this project. That is a winning attitude!

Grade 1/2 counted feet, fingers, arms eyes etc... up to seize (16). Then they completed in record time the sentences where they had to correctly write the name of colours. Good job, everyone!

JK/SK students are feeling the heat today. So, we pretended to be 'des éléphants au trou d'eau'. They took turns to the watering hole. Then they had to search around for colourful objects and sang.
