French Club

Picture
Every Tuesday lunchtime, Madame Symons, the French teacher who teaches French weekly to Years 3 to 6, runs a club for the young ones here at St Martin de Porres.
For half an hour, a group of a dozen of children from Reception, Year 1 and Year 2, has great fun singing songs, doing finger rhymes, "reading" picture books and playing little games... all in French!
The fees are £4.50 per session and children sign in for a half-term period.

Tous les petits sont les bienvenus !
(Every little one is welcome)

Last school year 2015-2016, our little French Club members learnt a dozen rhymes and songs.
These songs covered three main themes: Hands (les mains), the wolf (le loup) and animals (les animaux).
Here are the words:

One of the first songs we learnt this year was Un petit pouce qui danse:

Our Christmas song (chanson de Noël) was
Trotte, Trotte, Renne Rose
Click on play below to hear it.

One of the children's favourite songs this year was Qui a peur du loup ? Listen and sing with this slightly different version:

These videos show two cartooned versions of J'ai vu le loup, le renard et la belette:

Here are two different versions of Un chat gris dormait:

Our last song is Que fait ma main ?:

A funny way to hear and learn French was also to read some picture books:
