French
Kinder French
Playing with puppet friends continues in the kindergarten. We use them to learn verbs, prepositions, numbers, colours, phrases, question words, opposites and names.
“Combien animaux?” – Lets count. Are they “grand ou petit?” Are they “gentil ou mechant?” Do they “marche ou court?” Are they “blanc ou noir?” And what has Batchat discovered “derrière” Henry – “c’estun petit chat.” We then use all of this knowledge to create stories – “Oh mais non, Pierre tombe dans la boîte de Cornflakes, vite vite SuperSid.”
5s French
The 5s began to express their French understandings in new and creative ways, even adding French writing to their work.
Is that Robin? "Mais non, c'est Batchat"
Are we in Montmartre? Why are they wearing their berets on the side of “la tête?” Oh yes, because they are painters.
Now they are wearing warm clothes - “parce qu’il fait froid.”
And why “pourquoi” is there “un chat sur la tête de Madame Suzanne?”
6s & 7s French
The Lofties have become experts on using Seesaw to demonstrate their learning. They have begun learning the vocabulary and AIM story Les Trois Petit Cochons.
They built “la Tour Eiffel et montgolfière” une....They practised their verbs – “chante.....”
and the different “salles dans la maison”.
But Sid's shows are probably still the favourite.
8s & 9s French
We learnt about time.
Quelle heure est-il monsieur loup? C’est l’heure pour diner.”
We pracised ouur listening comrehension and writing skills through Movietalks.
We made Eiffel Towers out of crepes and cards.
And learnt about rooms in our houses, real and not real.
But our hearts lie with Muzzy, le grand Muzzy.
10s & 11s French
The Peppercorns are adding to their French grammar and vocabulary knowledge and using this to get creative. Here is a story with great use of known words along with a few made up ones.
