Bonjour! Comment ça va?

In Grade 3/4 and 5/6 we have been listening and learning many expressions from Julie Power's song, "Comment ça va?" This song teaches and reinforces phrases and vocabulary that we use during attendance and throughout class, which includes:

• describing ourselves using a variety of adjectives 
• using masculine and feminine adjectives
• adding supporting details that extend our conversation
• using "why" and "because" in French
• learning expressions such as "I don't know!"

We hope you enjoy this fun song!

Comment ça va? By Julie Powers

We have also been learning to use adjectives in a variety of ways in Gr. 7/8. We hear and see adjectives in use in the cartoon "Muzzy" which we have been enjoying on Fridays.

Stay warm and have a good weekend!

French Friday!

Each Friday, two students have the opportunity to participate in "French Friday" which involves either reciting the Lord's Prayer or giving the weather announcement in French on our school intercom system to the whole student body.  Perhaps some careers in radio have been inspired by this!

The Lord's Prayer is recited first. A link for the Lord's Prayer is found on the right-hand side of this page for those who would like to practice.

Next, stay tuned for the weather!

Speaking of weather, this is what Mme Christensen experienced over the weekend in another part of our beautiful province! Thankfully, Winnipeg was spared!

Bonne semaine,

All about us!

Our first week and a half back at classes saw us talking and writing about ourselves and what is important to us, as reflected in our titlepages. Here is a sampling! I am amazed at the variety of sentences and expressions that students remembered from last year. Bravo, tout le monde!

Thank you for contributing name tags to our bulletin board!

Bonne fin de semaine!
