Comments please...

I know from chattting to some of you in class how many people have been using the blog to help their learning and to have a bit of fun.

You might not have noticed that there is a comments function on the blog.... it would be really great if you felt that you wanted to leave a comment; tell me what you like, what you don't like and what you would like to see on the blog. If you have found a great French website, or some new games, let me know! Leave a comment and other people can use them too!

Just remember that when you leave a comment, to be safe, please only leave first names or nicknames, not surnames.

Want a fun way to check what vocabulary you know?

Have a look at spellmaster.com.

These are great little games and match up tasks that check how well you have remembered what we have done in class. They will help you to brush up on what we have already learnt, and you might even find some new words!

Les jeux magnifiques!

Voici quelques jeux pour vous..... Games to play This will take you to another web page, run by a group of language teachers.

The games cover the following areas (and more!): weather, routine, number, pets, colours, countries, days, months, family, school, sport, transport, house, personal description, shopping, housework and general knowledge.

Enjoy playing them - be sure to let me know which your favourite games are!

Bonjour!

Welcome back to a new term at school.

Over the next few weeks and months, you will find new things here that will help you with what we are learning in school at the moment. They might be the same as we used in class, or they might be new and exciting additions.

To start you off, here is a little song to remind you of all the main greetings in French. How many can you write down without looking at the video?

Struggling with French?

Are you having one of those days where French just seems to be IMPOSSIBLE? Well, we all have them. I do, your parent's did, French people do... even Joey from Friends did.

Watch this, and think "gosh, I can do SO much better than that! Yay! I can speak French..."

Etre song

Here's a little video for you all to help you remember how to use etre in the passe compose (yes, there should be accents here, and if you can tell me how to put them on, that would be useful!)

It's an interesting song that I found on youtube...




Rhianna – Umbrella / Mrs Vandertramp avec Etre

Mrs Vandertramp, le passé composé
Il y a dix-sept verbes, seulement dix-sept verbes.
Et c’est très important de savoir ces verbes
Si tu vas en France, ou au Canada.

Je suis arrivé, allé, venu, passé, revenu, devenu, entré,
Rentré, descendu, retourné, resté, monté, sorti, parti,
Tombé, né, mort.

Ca c’est le passé composé, avec Mrs Vandertramp
Et ça sera ta meilleure amie, ça sera ta meilleure amie.

Je suis, tu es, il est, être, être, être
Nous sommes, vous êtes, ils sont, elles sont, ils sont, être, être…

Ecouter, voilà les dix-sept verbes,
Qui sont conjugués avec le verbe être.
Maintenant je vais dire ces verbes en infinitif,
Ecoutez bien et n’oubliez pas :

Ils sont naître, descendre, mourir, venir, revenir, devenir,
Sortir, partir, retourner, rentrer, entrer, monter, tomber,
Aller, arriver, passer.

Maintenant tu sais tous les verbes,
Qui se conjugue avec être.
N’oublie pas les verbes réfléchis,
Qui sont avec être aussi.

Je suis, tu es, il est, être, être, être
Nous sommes, vous êtes, ils sont, elles sont, ils sont, être, être…
Je suis, tu es, il est, être, être, être
Je suis, tu es, il est, nous sommes, vous êtes, ils sont, être, être…
