NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER

Grade 7 & 8- Although students find the language in the novel difficult, they are exploring new vocabulary, and are expanding their thinking skills by analysing the words. They have begun to find that as the story moves along, it is making them reflect on several themes.
Today, they discussed what 'une légende personnelle' could be, and whether they had one.

Grade 4-5 The novel 'Le Voleur' is going at a fast pace. Students are keen,  engaged, and manipulated the vocabulary easily.

Grade 6- Today, students worked with 'futur proche', and continued using the  2 main elements: the verb 'Aller', and another verb in the infinitive form.

Grade 1 Students learned that Math and Art go hand in hand. They were able to use measuring terms such as centimètre, and so on. It took a while for the class to guess what was 'Un architecte', and that Art was part of building things.

JK/SK After the routine work, students was a few second of a show in a museum in France where one can experience Art, larger than life. They were very interested in naming the colours, and some of objects they observed (un bateau, un dragon etc)

Grade 2-3 Students viewed a few seconds from a video taken from a museum in France. Students asked to have the title written in this post since they want to share it with parents.
CARRIÈRES DE LUMIÈRES in France, and also (a bit closer to home FORESTA LUMINA, in Québec.
They also began an activity on 'Les Plantes, comments ça pousse?'.
