New poem

Bonjour

Here is the new poem for these next two weeks

Jeannot Lapin

Jeannot Lapin est malade

Il lui faut un petit cœur de salade

Jeannot Lapin est au lit

Il lui faut une fleur de pissenlit

Jeannot Lapin a mal au bras

Il lui faut un œuf en chocolat

Little reminder : for those of you who didn't bring back markers for the white board please think about it because I will start using it with them on a more regular basis. 

Thanks for your cooperation

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

Kleenex and Extra Clothing for Children

Bonjour!

On behalf of Madame Claire, this is just a little reminder and follow up to request if all parents could ensure to bring a box of Kleenex, as with the season it appears this is definetely needed. 

Additionally, it was advised that school and the classrooms are a little chilly, and the kids often express they are cold,  so if possible to add a fex extra layers under neath the uniform this would be great! Ex. Undershirts and/or warm tights for the girls .

Kind Regards,

Sonya(on behalf of Madame Claire)
