Our month has gone by so fast! This past week we practiced singing a very well-known French Christmas carol called "Il est né, le divin enfant" (He is born, the divine child). This carol reinforced the Christmas vocabulary that we have been learning this week.. Here is a link to "Il est né" plus other Christmas carols and popular Christmas songs:
In Grades 5/6 and 7/8 we watched an episode or two of the "Simon's cat: Christmas collection" and replayed the episodes slowly, describing the action in French in the present tense. In Grade 7/8 we drew up a list of verbs that we used in sentences to describe what was happening. Within 50 seconds of the first episode, we had used at least 30 different verbs! We will work more with verbs in the present tense as well as in the futur proche when we come back to classes in January.
We had a lot of laughter in the classroom as we watched these episodes of Simon's Cat. Please enjoy:
And finally, LA GRANDE QUESTION! Où est le drapeau français?
Have a blessed Christmas as you celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Our world needs Him now more than ever. See you, en janvier!
Joyeux Noël!
Bonne et Heureuse Année!
Bonnes vacances!
