We hope you enjoyed the short skit in French performed by three of our Grade Five students in our school's Christmas concert this past week.
We have been busy! Our Gr. 7 and 8 French club helped to decorate a bûche de Noël, which is a very traditional French Christmas dessert similar to a jelly roll. It is shaped and decorated to look like a Yule Log. ( 'Bûche' means 'log'.)
Due to the short amount of time that we have during the noon hour, the cake portion had to be prepared in advance. The link to the recipe is at the end of this post.
Prepping the whipped cream!
We melted semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave and let them cool to the perfect temperature for making yummy chocolate curls.
Raspberries were washed and ready, perfect to pair with chocolate!
The chocolate roll was filled with whipped cream...
and garnished with whipped cream as well!
The results were spectacular!
Here is a link to the recipe from our Dec. 2013 posting:
Grade Six students also savored some of this traditional French Christmas dessert.
Grades Three to Five made a craft this week to hang on their Christmas trees at home.
C'est le renne Rodolphe!
Be sure to check out the French Christmas links on the right side of this blog. I wish all families a warm and memorable Christmas holiday. Joyeux Noël et Bonne Année!
À 2015!
