Grade 6s -  The French exams are assessed and returned this week.   Although the content has been discussed and corrections made in class,  the paper must be brought home for  parental perusal and signature.  Parents, please ask your child to show you his/her exam.   The mark in this exam determines their final mark in their progress report for written comprehension.

 

Grade 5s – Le French May is on Friday May 18th.  All of your posters must be completed by now.  Class time from now until Thursday is for preparing and rehearsing your oral presentation to the visitors at the exposition.
