NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER

Today, the JK & SK are enjoying a trip to the farm and it ties in really well the French unit Fablanimo songs and fables.

Grade 1 worked really hard at weeding out vocabulary (animal names) from a written text I read to them. The words left out made a sentence which they illustrated. Well done!

Grade 2 are nearly finished their plant unit. It was a great opportunity to incorporate the prepositions au-dessus and en-dessous.

Grade 3 & 4 have been given their props to work into the play. It is amazing how they work together and exchange their ideas.

Grade 5 are deep into French poetry. They are learning to appreciate how the correct word add emotions, tone and atmosphere to mundane vocabulary.

Grade 6 were illustrating the correct placement of tropical fish in a reef, following directions in a text.

Grade 7 & 8 are working the ins and outs of passé composé with être. This is a good review for the grade 8.
