2019/20 – Junior Cycle – Semaine du 20 au 27 avril

Chers élèves,

“Bonne rentrée!” I hope you had a lovely Easter break. I would love to hear from you all and to know if any of you have attempted the Easter activities I posted on the website. I am therefore inviting you to join our weekly live classe via the Zoom platform. I have sent you the details (day, time and link to the meeting) via Hangouts and it is also posted in your google classroom.

So as I mentioned to your parents in an email yesterday, the work I am assigning you is to be done for the Monday of each week. I would however advise to do your assignment following your school timetable. I have therefore organised the assignment under each day of the week where you have a French class. At the moment you have the work for today and tomorrow, the rest of the week will come very soon. If this does not suit, feel free to pick another time as long as it does not interfere with your other timetabled classes and as long as the work is finished before next Monday.

Make also sure to come on Hangouts at least once every day to get up to date info about the French lessons/assignments, to ask your questions or even to just say “Bonjour!”.

I wish you all the very best for this last straight line before the Summer holidays and “A bientôt!”

1^st years

Lundi:

Check out the vocabulary of the following video: https://youtu.be/j-cA7DacVIk. Feel free to take some notes and study the vocabulary. Once you think you know most of it, go ahead and attempt the following kahoot: https://kahoot.it/challenge/07751050?challenge-id=e79153eb-100d-4871-b49f-21da1a1866a1_1587333177409. Make sure to use your name when completing the Kahoot so I know who has completed the assignment.

Mardi:

In our current unit we have started to learn vocabulary about the house. So here is our Question 11. Copy it into your French copy.

Question 11 : Décris ta maison – Describe your house.

Réponse 11 : Ma maison est petite/ de taille moyenne/ grande. Elle est en ville / à la campagne / au bord de la mer. Il y a trois chambres, une salle de bain, une cuisine et une salle de séjour. – My house is small/ average size / big. It is situated in the city / in the countryside / by the sea side. There are three bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen and a sitting room.

So now it’s your turn, can you create your own answers ? Go onto google classroom in the « Questions pour l’oral » assignment. This assignment contains a file with all the Oral questions we have seen so far (Question 1 to question 11). Your job (for today and to be finished by nex week) is to fill up the « Ma réponse (first draft) » column with your own answer to each question. I will then be able to help you and give you some pointers to help you do your own correction.
