NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER

Today, the classes were merged and much of the time was spent with REACH AHEAD PROGRAMME. This means that the classes were either visiting or receiving another grade in their classroom.

Grade 3/4 were hosting the grades 2 and 5. Each grade reported on what they have been up to since September. Then it was time to put our thinking caps on. We did big numbers: how to say them etc... house points were awarded to the groups for each correct answers. After this, we adjourned to the Gym, still in our groups, and made sentences with verbs such as Aller, avoir...

Grade 7/8 hosted the grade 6 and each class explained their respective works and how much fun their projects/topics are. This was followed by the 3 grades going against each other in a friendly competition of battle of the verbs: Connect Four.
The students had 2 hours of French this morning and not a complaint to be heard!

JK/SK grade 1 were together and Valentine was the topic. They each received a small special bird, and after reviewing the body parts of the birds, they compared those to an airplane. Hum! Also, we talked about the fact that birds (pigeons) were used to send messages, so they did their valentine cards to go with the birds.
