Le Lundi

Je me lève à sept heures et je m’habille dans mon uniforme: un pantalon gris, une chemise blanche, des chaussures noires, des chaussettes noires et une veste bordeaux et noire. Je mange mon petit – déjeuner: des céréales et du pain grillé. J’arrive à l’école à huit heures dix.

Je parle avec mon copain Louis et au joue le foot. Les cours commencent à neuf heures moins le quart.

Le premier cours, on a un double cours de Sciences. Le prof est sympa. Puis j’ai un cours de maths informatiq’e et après c’est la récré. Pendant la récré, je joue au ping pong. Aprés la récré, il y a un double cours d’EPS. J’aime l’EPS! À l’heure du déjeuner, j’ai orchestre. C’est intéressant. Pour le déjeneur, je mange poulet roti et des pommes de terre rôties. C’est mon déjeuner préféré!

Àpres le déjeuner, on a maths. J’aime les maths – c’est important. Àpres les maths, on a anglais. C’est ennuyeux. Notre dernier cours est géographie. J’aime le prof et c’est intéressant.

Je rentre à la maison à quatre heures dix et regarde la télévision. Je dine à six heures vingt, avec ma soeur. Nous avons les pâtes et pesto. Je me couche à huit heures et demie. Bonne nuit!

Here are two useful links for their research: http://www.frenchentree.com/fe-education/displayarticle.asp?id=12209 and http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/studentlife/schoolissues/schoolexperiences/school_in_france.shtml
Here is the timetable of a Year 6 class in France


What do YOU think? Would you rather go to school in France or in England??

Year 6: end of unit test next week (commencing 2/12)

Year 6 can practise some of their vocabulary and grammar using flashcards on: https://www.brainscape.com/study?pack_id=656754
They need to revise: food, quantities, verbs in -er, du/de la/des, au/a la/a l', conversation at the shop.

Remember to practise the vocabulary in your book and writing the words down for practise, as it is a written test. And yes, spelling matters!

Good luck, bonne chance!
