Hockey, hé?

We have started a sports unit in our 4/5 and 5/6 classes and we will be focusing on hockey to begin with.  We have also been practicing our numbers as part of review. Our discussions about the salaries of Jets hockey players have had us practicing some very large numbers!

This week we quizzed ourselves on our knowledge of players' numbers and guessed their salaries.  The answers were found on this table from Wikipedia; please click and scroll down to find the chart here:

We also practiced our numbers to 100,000 while singing along to this catchy tune:

Numbers en français

In our Grade 7/8 class, we have been practicing our use of the passé composé.  On Friday we watched a very adorable episode of Simon's Cat.  Afterward, we discussed what happened in the episode using sentences in the past tense.  Here is the episode for you to enjoy!

Simon's Cat: Fetch

 Another group of our Grade 7/8 students enjoyed a lovely walk to Le Croissant on Friday:

 A fleur de lis marks the occasion!

We drooled over the array of baked goods!  (These are only some of them!)

There are also other lovely French products for purchase.

 We head back to school with all of our purchases!  It was so much fun.

À bientôt,

Mme Christensen
