Year 3: family members for revision


Feminine
my family - ma famille
my grandmother - ma grand-mère
my mother - ma mère
my sister - ma soeur
my aunt - ma tante
my (female) cousin - ma cousine

Masculine
my grandfather - mon grand-père

my (male) cousin- mon cousin

... And me! - Et moi!

Year 4 - homework for week beginning 10 March

Please do the sheet on school subjects and opinions, using your own opinions on the subjects, as we did in class with the oral examples. For example, j'aime l'histoire, c'est utile. You have help on the sheet, so choose what is appropriate for you. You do not have to do the extension, but it is asking what is your favourite subject, as we did in class. Have a good weekend.

Year 6 week beginning 10 March

I appreciate you are inundated with MacBeth work, but please take the time to revise what you put on your school presentations and remember the work we have done in class. This will form the basis of your end-of-year oral exam, ie your school subjects and opinions on them, your daily routine and what you do at certain times. Please remember to revise the er ending verbs, as some students were writing je jouer, which should be je joue in their presentations. Good luck with the play. Can't wait to see you all in it.

Year 5 - Last call for pen friend letters!

I need to send off the pen friend letters by the latest next week (w/c 10 March). Can you please ensure I have these by then, please? You should be looking at your script, working on it and deciding how you will play the role - we will do this next lesson in class. Remember you are part of a team, too, so work with the person who is closest to your part. Thank you and have a good weekend.

Year 3 - Homework due for Monday 17 March

Please can you do your family tree poster, as we explained in class. It can be a made-up family, the Aliens, or the Simpsons or your own family. As we did in lesson, you can do extension work, describing some of the people and also remember to name them, using the format, il or elle s'appelle. Remember to include yourself. This will be displayed on the notice boards in school, so take time to do this properly. You will also present your family to the class from your poster. Have a nice weekend.
