With our trip to Whittamore's fast approaching, the children are getting more and more excited about it and interested in learning about life on the farm. (On a side note- don't forget, we're going on Thursday October 24th rain or shine! Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately, comes with a lunch and brings a bag to carry home their pumpkin! If your child is not coming, please note there is no busing that day and all kindergarten classes will be attending the trip so there will be no classes for your child.) This week, we've been talking about animals that live on the farm and how pumpkins grow. In the math centre, we've been learning how to add numbers to five (ex: 1+4=5, 2+3=5 etc). It has been a short but busy and productive week!
Here is some of the vocabulary we've been working on:
La ferme The
farm
La grange The barn
Les animaux Animals
Le dindon Turkey
La vache Cow
Le coq Rooster
La poule Chicken
Le cheval Horse
Le cochon Pig
L’oie Goose
Le canard Duck
Le mouton Sheep
La chèvre Goat
Les champs The yard
Le fermier The farmer
Les sciences Science
La citrouille Pumpkin
La graine Seed
La plante A plant
La vigne Vine
La
fleur Flower
Cueillir To pick
La tarte à citrouille Pumpkin pie
Grossir To grow/get
fat
To help the students learn some of the animals names, we've been singing Le Vieux Macdonald (Old Macdonald had a Farm):
Le vieux Macdonald à une ferme
Le vieux Macdonald à une ferme
I, A, I, A O
Et dans sa ferme il à un cochon
I, A, I, A, O
Avec un oink oink ici, et un oink oink là-bas
Oink oink ici et un oink oink partout
Le vieux Macdonald à une ferme
I, A, I, A,O
(Change bolded animal and sound for any desired animal)
Here are some of the centres we've been hard at work at:
Working on the life cycle of a pumpkin in the science centre
Adding numbers to five in the math centre
