Ce que j'aime
New voki for education launched 1st February - newletter here
J’aime faire des randonnées avec mon mari. J’aime regarder les oiseaux et les animaux pendant les randonnées. Je ne suis pas sportive mais j’aime la natation et en été je sors en vélo. Le passé m’intéresse et j’aime visiter les musées et les châteaux. J’aime sortir au restaurant avec ma famille.
Et de temps en temps je retrouve mes amis pour le déjeuner ou une visite au cinéma. J’aime voyager. Les endroits que j’aime le plus sont les Hébrides, la Cornouaille, le sud de la France et la Moselle en Allemagne. Je voudrais visiter l’Alaska un jour. Ma passion est rechercher mes ancêtres. J’ai cinq mille personnes dans mon arbre généalogique dans tous les coins du monde.

Family sentences review
I have been reflecting on the sentence building activity and will upload a modified version of the words and notes to our new GLOW group.
A couple of additional things
new words le mari the husband and la femme the wife (also the word for woman)
to say my mother and father you have to repeat the my in front of father as it is a different word in French so ma mère et mon père
and you need to repeat the de in front of second noun in
le frère de Lisa et de Maggie for Lisa and Maggie's brother
Meanwhile test yourself with these phrases and sentences. You don't need to write them out unless you really want to. Just do them in your head. The answers are in the comments mais ne trichez pas!

sentence building - active learning
Go over the words used first
Give each table a set of (colour coded) words on cards
Start by asking the pupils to sort the words into groups to make it easier to pick them out. Allow them to discuss how to do this.
Let them build short sentences or phrases themselves. Ask them to read them aloud.
Give them a sentence in English. They discuss & make it on the table.
Ask a table to read out the answer or they could hold it up. Other tables check. Discuss any mistakes.
Ask them to make up 3 good sentences of their choice and set them out. Then copy them into their jotters.
Challenge them to make a really long sentence. 1 points per word, minus points for any mistakes.
Pronunciation - nasal vowels [õ] on - see blogpost
Practise with minicards (click here to download) and make a collection eg on a list, a poster or Wallwisher
Worksheet from La petite souris (LPS) a site for French teachers teaching French to their pupils.
Homework
1 Add some -0n nasal words to Wallwisher
2 Invent a silly sentence or a rhyme or a rap or a song using -0n nasal words
Meanwhile here is a nice wee song from La Maternelle de Moustache to inspire you
J'ai un nom, un prénom I've a name, a first name
deux yeux 2 eyes
un nez a nose
un menton a chin
Dis-moi vite ton prénom tell me quickly your first name
Pour continuer la chanson. to keep the song going

J'ai un nom
Click letter J then on "air de comptine" and then "CHANT" to hear the song sung (OR JUST CLICK HERE) We would need to slow it down - it is meant for French children.
and another lovely song popped into my head after not hearing it for about 40 years Flocon papillon about snow
and it's nice and slow!
I've posted it here

Wed 12 January
La fête des rois the feast of the Kings or Epiphany, is celebrated in French homes throughout January.
A cake - la galette - made of puff pastry and almond frangipane contains a figurine called une fève, a bean. Whoever gets the piece with the fève is king for the day, wears a crown and chooses a queen.
Nowadays you can buy the cake complete with crown and fève in bakers' shops.
In the interest of fair play, the youngest child sits under the table as mother cuts the cake and says who each piece is for.
C'est à qui? Whose is it?
C'est à papa. It's dad's.
C'est à Tata Marie. It's for auntie Mary.
C'est à moi. It's mine.
