Our classroom is as beautiful as a museum, as magical as a storybook, and emanates all the learning and light invited in - times a thousand!

Wednesday 9 March 2016

Dear Parents, 

Unfortunately, due to pool repairs, we did not go swimming today. 
Students instead had extended outdoor activity with co-operative games and free time outdoors to develop socially and physically. All the students enjoyed celebrating what feels like Spring compared to the snowstorm just 1 week ago!  
We are learning to interact with each other socially in French and are encouraged to do so at all times. 

Students have been visiting the book fair all week- It will continue until Friday morning!
Thanks to everyone for their support.

In the past two weeks we have studied geometry with 2D shapes and the words/concepts such as:
un polygone ( ploygon) - Straight lines, closed shape.
un quadrilatère (Quadrilateral) -  a polygon with 4 sides

We have now moved on to 3D shapes and will continue with these when we return from March break.

Here is some vocabulary:





2D
Un carrée
Un losange (in French, un diamant is only used for sparkly jewels, not for geometry!)
Un rectangle
Un triangle
Un trapèze
Un cercle

3 D
Un pyramide
Un prisme rectangulaire
Un prisme triangulaire
Un sphère
Un cube



In French we have studied  the sound EU and two new songs which will come home in the Cahier Maison-Ecole.
Great Job to all those who did their homework!!
Our policy is no homework over March Break, therefore no additional work will be given!
The duo-tang will still go home as will the books to read from as usual.

Have a great March Break!
 Kind regards,

Mme Hulsman
