NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER

Grade 1/2 Science was on everyone's mind this morning. During routine, the weather, somehow science was mentioned. Gas in the atmosphere!. Of course, students from grade 2 remembered the water cycle, so out goes the gas, solid and liquid!
Back to the programme, grade 1/2 are continuing to write, sound out/read and act out greetings straight from the textbook.

Grade 7 Each students took advantage of peer editing of their rough copy (with a grade 8), and with their teacher. We are very aware that MR. GOOGLE does not know what the requirements of the project are, so it is more valuable to use your textbook for references.

Grade 8 Everyone did a great job of presenting their web page. It was fantastic to see the quality of work both written and visual. Practicing your presentation aloud a few times also gives you more confidence.

Grade 5/6 Students presented their recipes to the class. Thank you Jada for actually baking the delicious muffins. The cooking steps were clearly defined, and everyone has improved with their pronunciation. Bravo!!!

Grade 3/4 Students have started Les animaux de compagnie unit. Word search, some drawing, reading and mystery solution. Wow, a great session and you can look forwards to making your animal puppets soon.

JK/SK In our French class, Fall is in full mode...leaves are falling, everything is colourful and they are learning to make faces: triste, content, fatigué, fâché...
We also started to sing Alouette, je t'y plumerai...with a twist. They are plucking a turkey! La tête, le bec, le cou, les ailes, la queue, les pieds...À bientôt!
