Dear parents,
This week in French we set the tone for the year: talked about our focus, agreed on our WoW’s (Ways of Working), and launched our essential agreements. You should have seen your child’s French notebook by now (some of you may even have signed it!).
We practiced what a collaborative classroom looks and sounds like, discovered how to fidget quietly, and put Talking Chips into action – ask your child, they’ll be delighted to explain!
I’ve been impressed with every class, but Grade 9s deserve a special cheer: their energy, questions, and participation have been outstanding. They’ve already shown strong collaboration ATL skills and embodied the Communicator learner profile attribute brilliantly.
Next week, we dive deeper into our units: discussing teenage mental health, planning dream holidays, reflecting on the activities we love, and exploring identity. Grade 10s will also take their French diagnostic test, and as the name suggests, no stress! It’s simply to see our starting point so we can plan the learning journey forward together.
Merci, and here’s to another lively week ahead!
Warm wishes,
Miss J
