Yesterday

Yesterday when we woke up there was snow half way down the mountains!!! (The second time this season).
And...Mum and Bonnie walked down to the kiosque when little snowflakes started to fall!!! But melt the second after.
In the afternoon Bonnie, Mum and I went to the Bourse d'Enfance in St Vincent de Mercuze, and yes it snowed a bit again!!! At the Bourse d'Enfance we bought a dolls pram, carrier, bibs and an play mat (with boots for Hugh and a snow suit for Odette).
Laurine then came over to play and we had so much fun with the new stuff!

Sorry

Sorry, I made a mistake with homophones and homonyms in the last post though I've changed it now.

School Exams



Last week (and next Monday) my class has had exams (evaluations) in maths, grammar, vocabulary, numeration, conjugation and on Friday, spelling. I think the exam in spelling was easier for me because the exercises were on homophones, and if I'm not sure I can just translate the word into English. For example: est (is) and et (and) sound the same in French, but not in English.
It is super cool knowing 2 languages!!! (Now I'm going for German!)

Courseton

A few weeks ago Yr 1 - Yr 5 had a Courseton (cross-country race). Unfortunatley I (Sophie) was sick and couldn't participate, but Bonnie did well and became champion girl of her year.

So, today we held our own courseton with the kids competing and mum and dad giving stamps on their "dossard*".It was a good event during 10 minutes. Odette and Sophie's team won with 18 points (stamps) and Bonnie became the over-all winner with 111/2 points.

Bonnie marked 111/2 points.
Sophie marked 10 points. .
Odette marked 8 points.
Hugh marked 41/2 points.
Odette and Sophie's team marked 18 points.
Bonnie and Hugh's team marked 16 points
