Week 30 May 10th - 15th 2010



This week we started some work on the English Revolution, 1642-1688, by talking about the power of the Monarch . You were very curious and certain of you were extremely active in this debate. Well done!

Don't forget you can write both in English and in French since your epals are learning French.

Good luck!

This week you started a new lesson in geography about the evolution of the coastlines of certain towns in English speaking countries namely LA, New York, Durban, Vancouver, Sydney.....

You will spend another few hours in the computer room working on Google Earth as well as doing other research in order to be ready to report your findings to the rest of the class.
Don't forget to use the guided questions to help you in your research.

Have a nice long weekend.

By the way I hope you all did well today in your Cambridge orals. You will have to wait 'til next October time to get the results, unfortunately. I am sure it will be worth it!

Week 24 Monday March 15th - 20th, 2010

This week we managed to work a bit on the Cambridge Exam then on Friday we checked over the work on The Anglican Church. You will be having a test on the subject next Friday, March 26th .

Week 21 Monday February 8th - 13th, 2010

This week we studied a few paintings, one of Henry 8th by Hans Holbein, and the other of Charles 1st. We considered the symbols behind the painting and tried to make you understand their real meaning.

You have to complete this work and be ready to answer orally after the holidays.

Week 20 Monday February 1st - 6th, 2010

This week we viewed your sketches on San Fransisco. You seem to have misunderstood the term 'sketch' . In English a sketch is not necessarily funny!
The idea was to give as much geographical info as possible about the town whilst at the same time making it sound interesting or useful!

Having completed this topic we started on the next, Henry 8th. We began by trying to describe a painting of the young King. We will continue with this next week.

Week 18 Monday 19th - Saturday 24 th January 2009

This week we didn't have any lessons because of the mock oral exams. You have, however, to work on your projects on San Fransisco.

See you next week.

Week 18 Monday 18th - 23rd January 2010

This week, after our initial recap, we finished off the work around Otis Redding and the videocast. We then pooled all of our info and looked at a text about the special geological situation of the city, the Andreas Fault and the many earthquakes the city has endured.

Your final task is to prepare, in groups, a sketch in which you will reveal and use all the knowledge you have about this city. You have one week to get ready.

You will 'perform' on February 2nd .

Week 17 January 11th - 16th 2010

This week we started our work on an example of a coastal town namely San Fransisco. In order to do this you had firstly to look at two maps, a world map and a regional one and situate the town.
Having established the physical position of the town we then studied the population , their occupations, industry , education and so on . You exchanged information about certain facts you had concerning with others in the class by asking questions. At the beginning of the following session you had to summarise this information.

We then watched a videocast about San Fransisco which had some particular background music, that of Otis Redding and other Soul singers of the 60s. Through the videocast and the songs you became familiar with the activities and life of the city.
Be ready to give back this information next week.

Week 16 January 4th-9th , 2010

This week we finished off the work on the Magna Carta then you had a test on Friday around King John, King Richard, Robin Hood and the Royalty in Great Britain.

Week 14 Monday December 7th - 12th 2009

On Tuesday we worked on the Cambridge exam because the Hisory teacher was on a training course. Only two of you can't or don't want to participate in this adventure.

On Friday we worked on the Magna Carta and the similarities and differences between the Prince John in Robin Hood and in History.
You will finish this off next week with your History teacher.

Unfortunately I will not be there because of other tasks I have to do for the National Education System.
I wish you ALL a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !

Week 13 Monday Nov 30th- 5th Dec 2009

This week, the first session, you presented you answer to the question: ' Myth or reality concerning certain key characters in Robin Hood.'

Some of your work was quite good however you didn't always answer the question clearly despite some of your very interesting information.

Then on Friday we answered the question about the role of the King in the Middle Ages. Certain questions were raised as to the Nobles, Knights and peasants for example : ' Who was who and what was their relationship?'
We came to the agreement that although the King was at the top of the hierarchy he was not an absolute King since he ruled with the advice of the Barons .

We will continue next week.

Week 12 Monday November 23rd-28th 2009

This week has been so strange because of the strike on Tuesday then a lot of you were off on Friday for L'Aïd.
So we worked on the Cambridge Certification Listening and Speaking Exercises.

Don't forget you will be presenting your work on the characters in Robin Hood next Tuesday.

Week 11 Monday Nov 16th-21st 2009

This week you started working on Robin Hood, A MYTH OR REALITY ? Firstly we tried to remember the story of Robin then you had to do some reseach about differ'ent characters in the story to find out how real or mythological they were.

You will be presenting your findings next week.
