Seeds and plants

Bonjour

In one or three weeks we are going to start planting seeds to observe a plant grows. In relation to this science experiment we are going to do some art with seeds too. Therefore, I would like to ask each of you to bring one thing (see the list below please) so that in the end we got all we need to do our experiment and work of art.

If you could bring me this for Tuesday 8th March it would be perfect. It doesn't have to be something of great quality since it won't be to eat so do not hesitate to take the cheapest you find.

List of things to bring : a small box of

Adara	flour
Marissa	flour
Oliver	salt
Owen	White or black sesame seeds
Aurelio	Black lentils
Anthony	cotton
Riya	Dry corn
Ryana	White or green lentils
Isabella	oat mill
Samantha	rice
Nathan	White beans
Brynne	pasta
Adrian	salt

MERCI

Thanks in advance for your cooperation and participation

Bonne soirée

Week's achievement

Bonjour

Here are some of our week achievements :

-French : we revised a little bit of everything : food, body parts, colours, and position and we learnt the two words : salé and sucré

-Reading and writing : We started working on the difference between bold letters and small letters. 
We also did several activity sheets on recognizing the letters especially b/p/q/f/t

They also went one practising writing their names and all the letters in small letters.

-Maths : it went on well, as usually everybody has been working at their own rhythm. 

We alos went on working the association between the number itself and its name with several activities.
We revised getting aware of positions : in front of / behind / next to (in French : devant / derriere / a coté)

-Science : we started to think about the difference between salty and sugary food and we classified food in these two groups according to their taste. 

-Art : I let them paint freely and after they had to describe what they painted so that they go on learning new vocabulary

-Music and poem : we learnt the poem I posted earlier this week.

-Story : We read a story about the different type of  weather. They told me the story through their own vision and words  in French with the pictures first, then I read the story to check the differences. 

Bon weekend à tous

Bonnes vacances et bon carnaval de la part de tous les JK

Week's achievement

Bonjour

Here are some of our week achievements bearing in mind that it was less  busy than it would regularly have been regarding the number of sick children and their level of tiredness :

-French : we revised a little bit of everything : food, body parts, colours, and position

-Reading and writing : We revised all the letters by practising recognizing and writing them as well as their sounds and names.

We went on working on the copy book to go on practising writing and recognizing letters and half of the children are done with it already.
They also went one practising writing their names.

-Maths : it went on well, as usually everybody has been working at their own rhythm. 

We alos went on working the association between the number itself and its name with several activities.
We also practised getting aware of positions : in front of / behind / next to 

-Art : they made masks for Carnaval and also colored an Arlequin

-Music and poem : we learnt the carnaval song I posted this week

-Story : We read the story of Boucles d'or et les trois ours. 

+ we started talking about Fatoumata et Doulle the two world vision kids and they made a drawing of themselves for them and on Thursday afternoon we all had great fun at the Hoza company show about Black History. 

If you want to work a little with your child these holidays do not hesitate to have them show you the number you tell them, count their toys or everything else, write their names in capital letters and have them show you the letters you ask them about.
You can also ask them to do again the exercises of the leaflet I gave you. You can ask them to explain to you what they had to do for example. 
They can also watch French movies or cartoon to stay exposed to the language.
But most of all they need to relax so that they can start afresh after March break.

Bonnes vacances à tous
