Year 9, firstly let me say what a pleasure it was, on the whole, to mark your books.

The level of French is v high and the pride that most of you take in your books and presentation is just fantastique!

See below for a quick exercise which hilights some of the common mistakes you made as a class.

Some of you need to remind yourselves what an ACCENT is in French and why it is so important!!!

 

Below are 2 really brilliant examples of the EBI live listening ex we did last lesson from Emma W and Liam H.  It may be an idea to compare yours to these.

Very well done also to Holly S and Emily S :)
