This week , I would like you to look into French art. A bit of fun! It is called Impressionism, a very famous painter called Monet who was part of that group of artists, the impressionists. Have a look at the website and try to create a piece of art. You might even be able to save it and share it with the rest of the class when you come back. If not , try to learn as much as you can about it and enjoy exploring the Tate gallery website for children.

Here is a website to start your research:

Bonne Chance! (Good luck!)
Keep safe and well.

French week beginning 30.3.2020

 

Week beginning 30.3.2020

Year 6

Hope that you are all well and keeping busy at home. I know that you have not practised French for a while but I thought this might want to have a go at these activities so that you can remind yourself of what we have done.

The theme is school. So you could start with watching the clip about school in France.

During our last lessons in French we learnt about places in school. This week I would like you to learn about school subjects in French and for that there is a good website that you need to have a look at to practise them.

https://www.french-games.net/

In the primary topics section choose: school subjects

Go through the different steps from lesson to test and see how many you can remember.

 

Bonne Chance! (Good luck!)

Keep safe and well.
