I just wanted to say a big merci to all the students for their enthusiasm at the French mini-olympics which were held last Wednesday. It was great to hear that you enjoyed your day and it was so good to hear words of encouragement in French. Here are a few photos from the day. I was very impressed with the opening ceremony and I can’t believe how good everyone tried in the can can! I would also like to thank all the teachers and parents that helped to make the day a success. I will post some photos at a later date. There seems to be a technical difficulty at the moment

In the Senior Unit our workshops have been going well. Having the Tour de France on tied in great with our sport topic. Here is a sound file of sentence starters that we have been working on for all topics such as I like, I don’t like, etc. These sentence starters would benefit all units.
j’aime – I like je n’aime pas – I don’t like je joue – I play je fais – I do je mange – I eat je régarde – I watch j’écoute – I listen to je préfère – I prefer
