Dear Farida and Tashvi,
For Christmas, every year, my family and I gather with my relatives. On the 24th December, we celebrate Christmas eve. We eat the Christmas meal, in general, we have a yule log. We decorate our Christmas tree and our home ! We prepare cookies and milk for Santa Claus. And, the day after, we open presents.
But this year, only my grandmother is coming at my house. We are eating the Christmas meal. We are watching a Christmas movie. We are decorating the christmas tree with garlands and stars ! The day after, we are all the same opening presents. 
For Christmas, I’d like the costume of Harley Quinn, because I like to dress up, Nike shoes for sport, the games ” Animal Crossing ” for the Switch console set because it’s good. And I’d like money because I would like a new phone case
Merry Christmas ! 
Nelle 🙂

Dear Ali and Yusuf,
Every year I go to my grandparent’s to celebrate Christmas. We eat the Christmas meal. I open the present at 4.00 pm. I celebrate Christmas with my uncles, my aunts and my cousins and we eat at the same table. And we kiss and hug.
But this year, we are celebrating Christmas differently. We are celebrating Christmas in my house because it’s big. We are not eating at the same table, the adults are eating together and the children are eating together. We are not kissing and hugging. And we are putting a mask on.
For Christmas, I would like a drone with a camera to take videos of my farm.
For Christmas, I would like also sneakers because my old sneakers are too small.
Merry Christmas though!

Le coquelicot

Bonjour nos amis! Au Canada, le 11 novembre est le Jour du Souvenir.

Nous avons dessiné des coquelicots pour honorer les soldats morts.

Est-ce que vous portez un coquelicot pour honorer les soldats aussi?

 

C’est important de porter un coquelicot pour le Jour du Souvenir parce que quand il y avait la Grande Guerre, les soldats tombaient sur un champ de coquelicots au Flanders Fields. Je veux dire que nous sommes reconnaissants pour la paix et pour la liberté. Le 11 novembre à 11h, on fait notre moment de silence. Aussi, nous disons “merci” aux soldats qui ont perdu leur vie pour donner la liberté au monde.  

Par Yashvi

DISCOVER OUR LOCKERS !

Because of the coronavirus, we can’t have access to our lockers BUT we have decided to present them all the same ! Plan B : we have decorated shoe boxes and we are now ready to talk (in English) about our hobbies, favourite subjects and timetable ! Each video finishes by a question in French though. Can you answer them using the “laisser un commentaire” zone ? Anyway, be sure we will answer yours as soon as possible – by the way, thank you so much for your letters ! We looooooooooooooooved reading you 🙂

LAISSEZ-NOUS DES COMMENTAIRES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
READ YOU SOON ?

Bonne rentrée les correspondants !

On est les élèves de 5ème A et on va être vos correspondants cette année scolaire, on a hâte ! On a déjà travaillé sur le Canada, voici quelques-uns de nos chefs-d’oeuvre et on s’est même essayé à chanter pour retenir toutes les provinces et territoires :/

On vous envoie notre première lettre très vite. Read you soon !

Bonnes vacances les correspondants !

Avant de partir en vacances, on voulait vous montrer et vous expliquer comment on travaille depuis notre retour à l’école le mois dernier. On est en vacances vendredi prochain (3 juillet) et on espère vraiment que tout sera revenu à la normale en septembre ! D’ici là, prenez soin de vous aussi !

In France, we went back to school on June 2nd and we have new rules in order to respect ourselves and the others. For example, we must keep a 1-meter distance, that’s why in the playground, there are white crosses to respect it. We must keep our backpacks with us and not use the lockers anymore. We must wash our hands very often. We must keep our masks in the bus and at school too. We can only take it off at the cafeteria, so the days are very long and difficult.  (Lise, Elise, Célina)

At the canteen there are 3 shifts. We must respect the 1-meter distance. We wash our hands before and after the meal. There is one pupil at each table. There are 46 tables and chairs instead of 90 usually. Of course we can take our mask off while eating ! It’s not convenient because we have to “shout” to speak with our friends. Water is served for us. We must put on a new clean mask after leaving the canteen. Between each shift, the cleaning ladies clean the tables and chairs for the next pupils. (Chris, Yvanna, Clara, Lahora)

Yes, the cafeteria is very strange now ! At the entrance, we take our mask off and wash our hands with Purell. We take our tray and sit one by one at each table to respect a 1-meter distance. We wash our hands when we leave the place, put our mask on and wash our hands again. There is a new system to sort the food out when we are finished eating. There are 3 shifts. (Léo, Angelina, Justine, Mathis, Lola)

In class, we can wash our hands whenever we want with Purell (gel hydroalcoolique). Each table is 1 meter away from the other. We must keep our mask on. Doors and windows are open for fresh air and not to touch them. We can leave our backpack in the classroom. But we leave nothing on the table or chair every evening because the cleaning ladies clean it for the next day. (Thomas, Corentin, Sabine :))

Our last letters for the 2019-2020 school year…

Dear penfriends,
We have decided to send you our mascot Snowy, please take care of him ! We have also joined some “goodbye letters” hoping they will reach you soon.

Even if we couldn’t exchange the whole school year, we really wanted to thank you for being our penpals and everything we have learnt thanks to you.
Some of us gave you their (e)mail addresses in the letters, it would be great keeping up writing to each other, wouldn’t it ?
Enjoy the summer holidays despite the situation,
Vos correspondants français de 4°A !
