Y3/4J have been taking part in an exciting project with their partner class in Carle Vernet school in Bordeaux. Each class is writing a chapter in a story (with the other class illustrating) to create a chainstory. We started the story before Easter and on Friday we received the next chapter, in French. I didn't need to translate the story very much at all as they were able to follow the story through finding all the words they know already and those that are similar to both languages. Just look at part of it and see for yourselves:
"L'anniversaire de la princesse Lillian s'annonçait aussi extraordinaire
que l'an passé.
Princesse Lillian avait beaucoup d'amis et elle décida d'inviter...350
enfants!!!Elle proposa à ses parents une liste de gourmandises à préparer
pour le grand jour:
• différents gâteaux au chocolat, à la fraise, au praliné et au caramel• d'autres desserts comme des crèmes à la vanille ainsi que des crêpes!
Bien sûr, un orchestre jouerait de la musique durant la fête et un grand
bal serait organisé."
I was really proud of my class of language learners. Bravo les enfants!
