French
Bonjour! I hope that everyone is enjoying Spring Term and the approach of summer. Year 4 have been discussing the kinds of things we do in our spare time - whether it be during summer holidays, on the weekend or after school. We have a collection of eight pastimes that the boys have been learning about, along with the verbs 'jouer' (to play), 'aller' (to go) and 'aimer' (to like). One of the ways the boys practice their vocabulary is by using "The magic bag". Small props that represent each of the pastimes are placed in the bag and the boys must reach onto the bag and pull out a prop to answer my question "Qu'est-ce que tu fais?" (what do you do?). They are getting very good at telling me in French what they do, the most popular one is "je joue le foot" - I play footie! I have included some pictures of 4R and 4C using the magic bag and also using their iPads to work on pastimes games on the linguascope app. Why not ask your son "Qu'est-ce que tu fais?" this weekend, and see if he can tell you.
