They have been listening to tapes all along, have learned one song, talked about "les animaux", their adjectives and reviewd their colors. Even with all this, they have time for games of "Simon dit" and French hockey. So far in hockey, the score is 3-2 for the girls and it is the third period. Let's hope they can keep going at this rate. —Kirsten Keil Grade 6 students have started off with a great year. Last Friday we had Sports Day. It was a great success.
