Saint-Pierre et Miquelon, our French neighbours

Did you know that there is a small piece of France right here in North America?  Our Grade 3-5 students were very surprised to discover this information week when we were reading about unique schools around the world.

Students learned that the tiny islands of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, which are located about 26 kilometres off the coast of Newfoundland, belong to France, are inhabited by French citizens and are French in every way.  To find out more, check out:

People speak French here, vote in France's elections, use the Euro as currency and drive French cars!

Grade Six students have been using the descriptive sentences they have learned to advocate for certain animals in a classroom game.  They have come to the defence of the likes of the ostrich, bat, pig and wolf!

Grade Seven and Eight students have spent time in the 'hot seat', answering questions as we practice our interrogative expressions and review our verbs.

After School in French

We would like to start a spring session of the After School in French Program if there are enough interested participants!  Please let Mme Christensen know soon if you would like your child to participate in a program!

Bonne fin de semaine!
