NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER

Grade 9 French- Students worked with the vocabulary, added computer terminology, and continued learning to use the passé composé. Next week, there will be quizzes to make sure that this verb tense is properly used in the language.

Grade 8 French- Today, after checking the homework (using passé composé of regular verbs), students played a game of Connect 4, to challenge their skills.

Grade 3-4 Today, a lot of reading was happening to acquire vocabulary. There is a cross word to complete as homework, if it was not finished during class.

Grade 6 The class shared the reading of Rythmes de la Vie. They are excited about this unit about sounds (although they were talking about the effects of silence???). HOMEWORK is to translate les mots clés in their cahier. They had some time to do it during class, so there should not be too much to do.

Grade 1 Students had fun playing a version of snake and ladder game, and were very keen to identify buildings by looking at objects belonging to familiar building.

JK/SK Ha! French people also sing the alphabet, but with a difference here and there. Students were quick to point out where I was wrong! They finished the period with a game of Round the World, and the JKs were holding their own really well.

Grade 2-3 Students were matching syllables to find animal names. A few were finished quickly, and were working on extra work.
