As there were so many wonderful dress-ups, it was really hard to make a decision, so a big "merci beaucoup" goes to all class teachers and specialists who took photos on the day and emailed their recommendations.

 BPPS French Poetry Competition. 

The French Poetry Competition finals will be held at school in Week 9, September 4-6. (Please see below for specific dates relating to class levels.) As advised in an earlier Compass notification, the poems and their recorded pronunciation are posted on Seesaw.

In Week 8, students will choose a first, second and third representative for their class. They will be using a rubric with the following criteria: memorization, confidence, loudness, expression and eye contact. I will be marking the pronunciation component.

Only the first-place getter will compete at each Level, unless they are absent and then second place getter will present in their place, and so on with third place getter.

Teachers present at the Finals will be judging the students using the above criteria. 

Mrs. Tsiandikos-Huf and I will be adjudicating the pronunciation component.

Finals will take place in Week 9, during Session 4 on the following dates:

Foundation, Grade 1 and Grade 2:  Monday, September 4

Grade 5 and 6: Tuesday, September 5

Grade 3 and 4: Wednesday, September 6

I encourage you all to practice the poems at home, especially the Grade 3 and 4 students who will be attending camp in Week 7.

Prizes and certificates will be awarded to all place getters some time in Term 4.

A bientôt!
