Welcome to our new members! It was great to see you all today - hope you enjoyed it.

We've now elected our new committee:

Chairman: Jake Etherington, 9JK
Vice Chair: Tim Williams, 10NM
Secretary: Nicole Brooks (8LP) and Emily Oakland (8LP)
Publicity Manager: Ryan Van Delden (8LP)

They are all very enthusiastic and I expect the Club will go from strength to strength now!

Welcome to new members Lewis Mathieson (7JKe), Jenny Edwards (7JKe), Sabrina Fortune (7JKe), Alex McLaren (7VB) and Josh Palmer (7JKe)

I'm attaching below a file which lists the activities we'll be doing each week. It's not set in stone, so we might change some things as we go along. Any suggestions as to what you'd like to do, let me know.

A bientôt

Mme Kelsall


Activities for Wednesday 17 September:

1) Committee hustings: Chairman, secretary, committee members, etc

2) We're going to introduce ourselves in French and Spanish and make our own vokis:

Salut! Je m'appelle ________. J'ai onze/douze/treize/quatorze ans (+ anything else you want to add)

Hola! Me llamo ____________. Tengo once/doce/trece/quatorce anos

Check back here later in the week for your vokis!

















Wednesday 30 January: We learned how to say our age in Spanish - see the cartoon strip below for a reminder of what we've learned.
Hola (hi)
Como estas? (how are you?)
Muy bien, gracias, y tu? (very well thanks, and you?)
Como te llamas? (what is your name?)
Me llamo Reece, y tu? (I'm called Reece, and you?)
Me llamo Emily (I'm called Emily)
Cuanto anos tienes? (how old are you?)
Tengo once/doce/trece/quatorce/quince anos. (I'm 11/12/13/14/15 years)
Adios, hasta luego (bye, see you soon/till the next time)









We also started writing a script which we are going to act out, on a scene in a restaurant. We will write and edit it, and film the scene with members of the club dressed up as different characters. We thought about including something to do with birthdays.

Please send in/think about ideas.

A bientot







Prepare a Voki on food for next week
Why not prepare a dialogue ready for recording next week? You can only record a dialogue that lasts up to a minute.
Here is some vocab to help you:
J'aime - I like
J'adore - I love
mais - but
et - and
Je n'aime pas - I don't like
Je déteste - I hate
le chocolat - chocolate
la viande - meat
les frites - chips
les pizzas - pizza
les pâtes - pasta
parce que c'est - because it is
bon - nice
parce que ce n'est pas bon - because it's not nice
dégueulasse - disgusting
je préfère - I prefer
Je fais la cuisine - I do the cooking
Ma mère/mon père fait la cuisine - my mum/my dad does the cooking
Je mange ça tous les jours - I eat it every day
Mon plat préféré est - my favourite dish is

Write, prepare and practice your short food dialogue for next week - those with dialogues already prepared will be the ones to use the Wikis first!

Ideas for future activities
Food tasting
Halloween party
Holiday language (French/Spanish, maybe Italian)
Interactive games - we can play on the various interactive websites.
Murder mystery or Cluedo games with other teachers
French quiz
French disco
Penpals
Flash Meetings (where you chat to someone by video link)
Making vokis (like the speaking cartoon on the front page of this site)
Music - looking at music from other countries
Parties (ie we could have a Eurovision Song Contest party!)
Learning some Japanese
Watching Films
Crafts (ie we could make cards in different languages)
Reading French Magazines
Looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday. Leave me a message on here if you have any other good ideas.
