Music and an overview of this term

Music helps us to internalize language! Our grade 7/8 students are continuing to practice verb tenses; they are speaking about past events (such as what they did over spring break) as well as their plans for the immediate future. We had a surprise quiz this week on the verb "aller" which we use to form sentences in the immediate future and we can all use a little bit of help from music like this...

Le verbe aller by Etienne

Go, go, go, allez, allez, allez!


Here is a song that features some vocabulary we will be using plus a verb in the immediate future...

Une salade de fruits: Alexandre

J'aime les fruits by Alain le lait

Au petit déjeuner by Alain le lait


For our Grade 3/4 students, here is a song for our unit on sandwiches:
Les Sandwichs: Charlotte Diamond




All students are beginning units this term that feature food! We will be referring to the new Canada Food Guide, here at:


Gr. 3/4's have started learning vocabulary and structures related to sandwiches. We will draw, write and talk about our favorite sandwiches. We will end our unit with a "build your own sandwich" buffet!
  • Gr. 5/6's have started talking about breakfasts/lunches. We will write and act out a "Skip the Dishes" telephone order and at the end of our unit create and enjoy a "brunch" buffet.
  • Gr. 7/8's will learn vocabulary and structures related to the creation of crêpes. We will learn the instructions for a crêpes recipe in French, make crêpes and write an original crêpe recipe.



As well, this term our 7/8 students look forward to an excursion to the boutique, Le Croissant, during which we will have an opportunity to use our French in order to make a purchase of delightful baked goods!



We look forward to yummy times in French class!
