Noël va arriver!

We did the register and some revision of family

We heard a Christmas song from Henri Dès entitled Belle Histoire about the Christmas story. Each "pupil" was allocated a key word and had to leap to their feet when it came up accompanied by suitable acting eg the stable, the star. The ox and the ass got plenty of exercise due to the repetition!

There was a colouring and labelling crib scene la crèche
Then we played the Christmas present game which involves making little card presents and giving the presents bran tub style.
Here is the dialogue between pupils A the giver and B the receiver

Pupil A: J’ai un cadeau pour B.
Viens ici, B

Pupil A : Tiens voilà! (here you are) Joyeux Noël!

B : Merci. Je peux l’ouvrir?
A :Oui, bien sûr.
Classe : Qu’est-ce que c’est? Fais voir (let's see)

B : Oh c’est un(e) …
Quelle surprise!
Ce que je voulais! (just what I wanted)
Merci
Joyeux Noël

We finished with a look at a whiteboard activity with containers for vowel sounds!
Next week more Christmas.
