 Bonjour les Familles!

This year grade 4 wrapped up their work with class objects by completing their Sac A Dos. Students had the opportunity to share their Sac A Dos infront of the class and practice saying their school supplies in French and use the phrase "Il y a".

Grade 5's demonstrated their understanding of common school vocabulary by reading the book Mon École and answering questions about the book IN French. At the end of the week we also created our own board games using school vocabulary to practice for our quiz next week. 

Grade 6's attended our French Discovery Day at David Thompson School. We had so much fun rotating through games and activities for the day and learning about life in junior high. On Friday we finished designing our treasure maps and are ready to use these for a treasure hunt next week.

 Bonjour a tous! 

This has been a busy week! Grade 4 has continued their work with school supplies by playing a new game Boom, Clap, Supplies! Where they need to listen and react to the correct French word. We also started some art with our Sac-a-dos go solidify some of the school supplies in French we have learned. Next week we will finish and have a opportunity to present. 

Grade 5 has also been practicing the language of school supplies, with the addition of furniture as well. We created our own Bingo cards (LOTO in French) and used these to practice listening to vocabulary and writing it down. Grade 5's also started Sac-a-dos as a review from last year. 

Grade 6 introduced directions. We use the new vocabulary around directions to navigate community maps and begin looking at full sentences and questions in French. For French Art Friday we began designing our own treasure maps which we will use to wrote directions to our hidden treasure!

 Bienvenue Encore! Welcome back!

This week, grade 4 began learning about classroom supplies. To cover essential vocabulary, students Dre an labeled the supplies that they use every day, and labeled their classroom in French. We also played a game guessing the school supply using clues and then calling the name out in French.

Grade 5 is learning about classroom parts and furniture, with some review of school supplies. We designed a classroom of our own in our visual journals while labeling the parts. We also labeled parts of the library with hand-made labels and played a game guessing the class furniture in French. 

Grade 6 began learning about neighborhood vocabulary. As we brainstormed structures and buildings that we recognize in our community, we began to design our own neighborhoods and label them in French. Students played a game comparing neighborhoods and using their journal as a map to identify different vocabulary words and how these can be represented. 

French Art Fridays will continue as normal after our Alien Inline Skating residency.
