Bienvenue à Dalrymple!

Le bonjour à la classe qui a commencé aujourd'hui à Dalrymple.

It was lovely to see so many of you. Hope you enjoyed our first steps!

We looked at video footage of Flowerbank Nursery's children who switched effortlessly from Gaelic to Spanish to French in one session.

We saw a bit of Salut Serge DVD (French is fun - see previous Resources post) and looked at some other resources.

We practised greetings, names and numbers to ten and discussed approaches to teaching language and culture in the early years.

We concentrated on French accent, intonation and pronunciation.

For next time bring some props for practising numbers and colours - things you have to hand in your classroom.

Au revoir! A mercredi!
