French

We have had a wonderful start to 2025 in French here at Moriac! 

Bienvenue (welcome) to all the Prep students who have been learning how to say 'hello' (Bonjour) and 'goodbye' (au revoir). They have enjoyed watching the below song, Bonjour, Bonjour and learning about France over the past 2 weeks. 

The Grade 1/2s have been learning to sing the above song as well and we have been investigating the lyrics in French. Ask your child to have a sing along for you and see what they remember from class! We have also been revising our knowledge of different greetings in French, asking others how they are and answering with ça va bien (I am well), ça va (I'm OK), and ça va pas (I am not OK). 

The Grade 3/4 students have been learning all about families. We are learning how to say different family members and later in the term will be making booklets about our families. Below is a song listing some different family members in French. 

The Grade 5/6 students have been exploring the French speaking world. We have looked at all the different countries in the world where French is an official language. Most of these countries were once colonies of France or part of the French empire. Some still are today. Below is a quick introduction to some French speaking countries in the world - it is the second most wide spoken language in the world after English!
