New Resources This Term

Hello to all pupils new and old, and welcome to the Wakefield City High French Blog! This blog was set up some six months ago to allow you to access as many cool resources and games from home as possible.

Now, with the new virtual learning platform to come into effect at City High in the next few months, we will hopefully be able to update this blog with more fun and interesting games, and leave the homework and more serious stuff to that VLE, but til then, here are the resources that you have been working with this first month, to allow you to consolidate the stuff you know!!

Year 11 – House and Home

Welcome back to all our pupils, but especially to our Year 11’s as you enter your crucial final year. As you know, this year we have got double French on a Thursday (I can already hear the groans and complaints from you, Miss Rusling)

Double French ain\'t THAT bad!!

Still, what this will hopefully mean, is that you all can have a go developing your French skills using my new computers, kindly donated by Mr. Chippendale (he had no say in the matter I might add) in my brand new room! And to start, we have a little online task for you to have a bash at. Type your answers after the questions, before printing them out, and before you do, please format your work so that the text and questions all appear on one page!!

Mr Hill’s Obsession With Penguins Knows No Bounds!!

As you know, I have a love of penguins. Seriously. I think it may date back to when I was 3 and my mum took me to Edinburgh Zoo, and I spent best part of 10 minutes having a staring contest with a penguin through a wire fence…

So, to annoy you even more, have a look at what I’ve just found – Pigloo! Penguins in French!!!! My day couldn’t get any better!

Football Is The Universal Language

How many of your favourite footballers can you spot in this advert? How many languages do you reckon were used? It’s a really cool advert showing the power of being able to communicate with people from all around the world, in many different languages.

Whatever your thoughts on the players, what they do show you, is that being able to understand them, appreciate them and learning languages… is cool!

Year 7 end of year test revision

Year 10 Mock Exam

For the whole of Year 10, we will be doing a complete mock GCSE exam for your end of year assessment and achievement grades. As you know, the exam is in 4 parts – writing, reading, listening and speaking. Your writing grade will be based on the two pieces of coursework you have done this year, so don’t worry, there won’t be a writing exam.

As for the rest, your reading test will be in your normal lesson on Wednesday 25th and your listening test will be in lesson time on Tuesday 1st July. The speaking exams are done slightly differently, and will be carried out on Thursday 3rd July, between periods 1 and 3.

Speaking Exam

Your speaking exam on Thursday 3rd July (during periods 1-3 and you will be given your time later)will be in two parts – 2 role plays followed by your conversation questions that we have done in class, that you were given to take home and learn last week. Below are a few things for you to look at and revise from, should you get stuck…. Bonne Chance!! :)

Year 9 – Level 6/7 Task – Monday

As we’ve covered in Thursday’s lesson, my top set year 9’s, 9H1, are going to be doing a levelling activity during Monday’s lesson, period 1. This is because we have to give you a true achievement mark for this year – the equivalent of your French SAT.

It will be a reading activity, where you read a poster detailling 7 funnily named villages in France and then have to answer a series of questions based on what you have read. You will be able to use a dicitionary during the activity, and only have to give one word (names of the villages) as answers.

Below is the revision lesson covered on Thursday, and make sure you look at the two slides concerned with using a dicitionary. Any problems or concerns, then leave a comment either in your year 9 page at the top, or at the end of this post!!
