Hello friends in Grade 4 and 5 Extended French. This week's focus has been on oral, reading, and listening communication.
The school French Program will be introducing something new and very exciting this year. We will be preparing for a school wide French symposium to be presented in the spring.
All student will be learning the following song, "Chanson de la Francophonie." We have been using this as a reading activity and have been translating and discussing the content of the song. The theme speaks of how all children, no matter from what parts of the world they come, share one common goal, our French culture and language.
The student sounded great today singing it for the first time. Pleas practice and review this song at home.
