During this week, the students are participating to the Francophonie Festival which celebrate the French language around the wolrd.They discovered first what does " francophonie" means, the countries in the wolrd where French language is spoken and some value and know-how are shared in the 6 continents, such as gastronomy, history, inheritance, fashion, sport...
Some of the students did some research about a particular cultural issue they were interested in, such as " le tour de France".
Grade 2 students discovered some French creative pastries.
Grade 3 shared experiences in those countries.Grade 4 students created plays to show what could happened in these French spoken country in funny situation. Some of the Grade 5 created movies to present a cultural aspect.
Some of them shown us their " treasure" from French spoken countries" too.
Then, on Friday, the students discovered the diversity of French language music all around the world, for example: Raï music (from North Africa: Algeria, Tunisia...), Ndombolo music (from Center of Africa: Congo, Cameroun...), Merengue music (from the French Island in the Carribbean: Guadeloupe, Martinique)... For sure, it had promoted an international mindedness and bring joy and fun!
For this activity, they have their face painted with the flag country they liked to most among the countries belonging to Francophonie organisation. And most of them danced so much!!! I guess Magic System, an african music group from Abibjian, Ivoiry Cost, was one of the most famous in class! Thank you to all the kids who were so enthusiastic and creative! I had a lot of fun with them!
