Good morning Year 3. I hope you had a happy Wednesday and are looking forward to a fun day ahead. We really enjoyed listening to the story being read from the ISS. We loved seeing the book floating. We enjoyed writing our stories so much that we missed some of our maths time, oops.

French
Here’s a song to welcome you back to French learning.

This week we are going to learn how to make nouns plural in French. Plural means when there is more than one. Eg dog = singular; dogs = plural.
Click this link and download lesson 16 with audio.
http://www.rachelhawkes.com/Resources/Y3_French/Yr3SpringFr.php
Work your way through the Powerpoint. You’ll need the phrase Ce sont (suh son) – they are.
Do the exercise on slide 32 in your book. Write the date in French and the title as on the slide – Que sont les pluriels? (What are the plurals.) Divide your page into 3 columns with a ruler:
Singular Plural English
Look up the word in Collins online French dictionary if you don’t know what it means in English. You can add a little picture by each line if you like.
When we say the words in the plural, we don’t pronounce the last s – it is a silent letter. Listen to the lady and repeat the words after her. Did you notice in the earlier slides how to change oiseau (bird) and cheval (horse) into the plural? They don’t add an s. Look back to see how to make these words plural and add them to your list.
Here’s a silly animal song to finish - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVRGuyZJaGo
Excellent! Merci beaucoup.
