We, Chris, Jennifer and Oran, have recorded some of the question we were asked. Click on the links to hear our answers.

Quel temps fait-il en mai?
Il fait beau en mai.
Quel temps fait-il en février?
Il fait froid en février.
Quel temps fait-il en janvier?
Il fait mauvais en janvier.
Quel temps fait-il en juin?

Dans Ce Carton - Ellen

Before the summer I learned a little bit about parts of the body in French. Here is a poem which helps me remember the vocabulary.

Dans Ce Carton - Ellen

Dans ce carton, tout au fond

Je peux cacher mon corps en rond.

Si vous voulez me voir

Frappez trois fois

Toc,toc,toc

Coucou me voici.

Voici ma tête,mon cou,mes épaules et mes bras,

Et tout au bout mes mains et mes doigts.

Hop-là, me voilà.

Voici mon corps, ma poitrine, ma taille et mes jambes

Et tout au bout mes pieds.

Hop-là , me voilà

C'est moi, c'est bien moi!

Memories of our Woodhill French play-Jodie p6

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 09:15:00 +0100

My memories of the French play are too hard to forget because we had to wake up very early to get to Aberdeen on time. I was so excited and the costumes were fantastic, very glittery and with a little bit of make-up we stole the show.We missed all the other plays but I'm sure they were just as good as ours.We came first for the acting award and won the "Premier Prix" for Scottish primary schools.

When I was going to Aberdeen to do the French play I was very excited and a bit nervous too. I loved all of the costumes and the scenery.
Our performance was brilliant even though we made a few mistakes behind the scenes.We won the Best Acting Award and also the "Premier Prix" for Scottish primary schools.

European Award for Languages

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 10:19:00 +0100

In June 2008, we were delighted to receive an invitation to attend an award ceremony in London on the 16th July hosted by Sir Trevor MacDonald. We were invited as one of the twelve UK finalists for awards from the Centre for Information on Language Teaching (CILT) which is the Government's recognised centre of expertise on languages. Their mission is to promote a greater capability in languages amongst all sectors of the UK population.
Pupils and staff from Woodhil Primary School were recognised for their work in modern languages including Passeport Sante et Citoyennete, a project in which Primary 7 pupils have been learning French through blogs and podcasts.The project has been based around the themes of good health and citizenship as part of an Anglo-Franco-Scottish project linking schools in three countries.
Bloggingand podcasting mean that learners can link with partners and communicate using text and sound. The children are proud of their blogs and are thrilled when they receive comments and feedback from people in other schools and countries.
The blogs and podcasts, which include lessons for learners as well as their own recordings, provide the opportunity for the pupls to work at their own pace, which they truly appreciate. The mix of language and technology has proved extremely popular with pupils keen to access the podcasts in their free time both at school and at home.
Using these technologies, pupils have made impressive progress in learning French.
This work will be showcased at the Scottish Learning Festival in Glasgow this month.

Rencontres Theatrales drama competition where pupils perform a short play entirely in French. This year the competition took place in Aberdeen and the children's performance of "Aladin" was truly remarkable. It so impressed the judges they awarded them not only the "Best Acting" prize but
also the distinguished " Premier Prix" which is presented to the most outstading performance in Scotland.

Hector

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 2 May 2008 17:27:00 +0100

In Woodhill Primary we have many school blogs. One of them is called "Hector's Blog".

Hector came from École Élémentaire, Paris, on the 13 décembre 2005. His French name is Pouf Ector, Popi Loumiroux, but we call him Hector. His date of birth is 14 juillet (July) 1996. Hector is 18cm tall and his eyes are noir (black). Hector has visited some pupils' homes. He has been to lots of different places in Glasgow with the pupils.

Last week I learned and recorded a little poem all about Hector. It didn't really take me too long to learn. Hope you like listening to it. Here is the poem I recorded.

Hector

Sur mon lit j'ai trouvé

Un paquet tout mou.

Sur mon lit j'ai trouvé

Un paquet tout doux.

Dans le paquet j'ai trouvé

Un petit chiot,

Tout mou, tout doux, tout roux, tout frisotté.

Dans le paquet j'ai trouvé

Un petit chiot à câliner,

Un petit chiot à aimer.

Dans le paquet j'ai trouvé Hector,

Mon petit chiot à moi.

On Thursday 16 April colleagues from our partner schools in France and England, along with members of Learning and Teaching Scotland and the Scottish Executive, met to discuss the way forward with our project "Passeport Santé et Citoyenneté."
We enjoyed seeing them all again, catching up on news from abroad and exchanging ideas.
We look forward to meeting them again hopefully in the not too distant future.

Nos Blogs et Podcasts

Nous avons rencontré un tel succes avec nos cours de français et nos échanges internationaux que nous avons été choisi par Learning and Teaching Scotland pour démarrer le pilotage du projet Passeport Santé et Citoyenneté. Aussi comme le niveau d’ICT dans notre école est extremement élevé, nous avons pris la décision d’utiliser les blogs et podcasts comme une platforme d’échange avec la France.

Même si Passeport Santé n’est réellement éffectif que depuis 2007, nous avons commencé à faire des blogs et podcasts depuis 2005 pendant les cours de français avec les enfants agés de 9 et 10 ans. Pendant cette période nous avons recherché differents moyens pour illustrer le travail des enfants sur les blogs, c’est à dire à travers des films , des diaporamas et des bandes dessinées.

Nous avons récemment reçu deux prix, récomponsant nos efforts dans l’établissement des rélations internationales avec notre école. Tout d’abord en juin, le Scottish Education International Award et en octobre, le prix “Woodhill Made IT Happen”. Pour ceci nous sommes allés avec deux enfants du projet Passeport Santé au Parlement de Westminster à Londres. C’était une journée extraordinaire!

We are delighted not only to have won the Scottish award for the prestigious UK- wide technology competition" Make IT Happen", but also won first prize for the United Kingdom.

The competion recognises primary school technology projects led by nine - eleven year olds which are helping the school or local community.

We at Woodhill wanted to integrate technology across the curriculum and use it to establish links with other schools in Scotland and abroad.

We encouraged students to develop podcasts and blogs which could be used as learning materials.

Material was created to support French and English lessons as well as wider issues such as health and globalisation. Parents were given information about the blogs and encouraged to view the information online.

This was also shared with partner schools in Scotland , England, France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Czech Republic and China.

We were invited to London in October to receive our £3500 prize from the Speaker of the House of Commons at a special awards ceremony with MPs in Westminster.

My trip to London - UK technology competition

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 5 Dec 2007 09:10:00 GMT

When I went to London I was really excited. We flew to London at 9:30 and arrived there at 10:15. From there we took a train and several underground trains to get into the centre of London. After lunch we set off to the Houses Of Parliament. Inside it was huge!
Our MP, Jo Swinson took us to a room where we would hear who had won the awards. We knew we had won the award for Scotland but soon we were to hear who had won the big UK award. I was really nervous. Finally they told us. WE HAD WON FIRST PLACE!!! Yippee!! I was over the moon.
Later on, our MP Joe Swinson took us out on to the Terrace, where you can only go if you have an MP with you. We felt like VIPs! After that we went for a look around London. We saw soldiers with huge bear-skin hats on and had our photo taken with them. Suddenly we saw the time and made a mad rush to the train station! We were late because our train was not an Express train and it stopped at every station. When we finally got to the airport we had to skip hundreds of people who were waiting to go through security. Thankfully we got on the plane before it left.
What an amazing day!
