Week's achievement

Bonjour

Here are some of our week achievements :

-French : we worked on the gardening vocabulary.

-Reading and writing : We went on working on the difference between bold letters and small letters mostly by associationg the two different cases in various exercises
We also did an activity consisting of finding words starting with the sounds of the letters
They also went one practising writing their names and all the letters in cursive.

We did the game consisting of making letters with little sticks again

-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 did an exercise consisting of associating numbers and quantity
We went on counting up to 90

-Science : we analysed the growth of our seeds and drew the growing process

-Art : I still can't say anything about the project we worked on today since it's going to be a surprise but we finished it and it's wonderful

-Music and poem : we started a new poem

''Coccinelle

Coccinelle, demoiselle
Ou t'en vas tu donc ?
Je m'en vais dans le soleil
Car c'est la qu'est ma maison
Bonjour, bonjour, dit le soleil,
Il fait chaud et il fait bon.
Le monde est plein de merveilles
Il fait bon se lever tot.''

-Story : We read the story Le loup et les 7 cabris and they were able to tell the story by themselves together after

Need your help : I want the JK to do some maracas that they would be able to use in music but for that I would need you to spare the yogurt pots you may eat and bring them to school. If each of you could bring me two of the same kind that would be perfect. If you could bring them to me next week that would be great. Thanks for your help.

Reminder : We will have pizza day / casual day / bake sale on Monday,  our gymnastic sessions on Wednesday and movie morning on Friday

Bon weekend à tous

SICK CHILDREN

Dear parents,

I wanted to draw your attention on an important point. It has happened several times these last couple of months that sometimes the students come back to school, after being sick, a little too early (they are still coughing or have a running nose) and fall sick again or contaminate the others and so on. Then, it works as a vicious cycle and we don't get out of it and it is starting again. Therefore, if you could wait that your child has fully recovered before sending them back to school that would be better for the whole class, your child included.

Thanks in advance for your comprehension and cooperation

Bonne journee

Madame Claire
