Languages

For term 1 and term 2, we focus on Te Reo Maori, New Zealands native language. In term 3 and term 4 we will be learning french.

Term 4: This term, we have carried on learning French. Today (8.12.11) we have done our end of year French Assessement. It was a mixture of numbers, greetings and phrases. I got 100% :)

Term 3:  We have now started learning French; Meeting, Greeting, Our Likes/Dislikes, Monuments and Cuisine.

I put together a presentation about France, it's monuments and cuisine. It is below:
