Open Morning: The Language Department
On Thursday
Feb.9th 2017 the Language Department played host to twelve Year 5
pupils who spent a busy and enjoyable two hours working through a variety of
French activities.
We sat in a
circle and practised many of our basic skills e.g. asking Comment t’appelles-tu
and answering Je m’appelle ... Pupils then worked with a partner to take turns
asking each other a long list of basic questions. As an extension activity, they came up with
good ideas for additional questions.
Then we
looked at the fascinating collection of French books which Rohan had kindly brought
in. These included a delightful
penguin-shaped book about the penguin who could not dance – we followed the
instructions and tried the dance ourselves!
Levez-vous! Tapez le pied! Sautez en l’air!
Then we
spent some time revising and practising our French sounds, rounding off this
activity with a terrible tongue-twister:
Combien de sous sont ces saucissons-ci?
Ces saucissons-ci sont six sous. Have
a go!!
We then
turned our attention to a cafe sketch in which pupils, working with a partner, had
to fit six speeches into the correct speech bubble. We then acted out the resultant scenario.
Time then
for a song: “Le Vieux Macdonald”, an old
favourite. We then investigated a range
of animal sounds in French and produced a set of sounds and pictures for
display.
How quickly
the time went! We only had time to watch our favourite “super dog” video and
play some interactive games based on the animal topic. Well done to Year 5 French students for
working with such enthusiasm! Bravo Evie
Holder, Amelia Arthurton, Rohan Appadu, Raj Sisodia, Emily Anderson, Eliana
Russo, Felicity Branton, Ruben Baker, Lawrence Yates, Jessica Dean, Edmund
Kavati and Felix Bowling!
