Yesterday was European Day of Languages. We celebrated this by taking part in a whole school assembly. We have been learning a French song with P3B and we performed it infront of the school. We enjoyed showing off our dance moves and singing skills! We also completed research about a European country in class. We chose France. We now know the capital, population, area, where the country is located on a map, famous landmarks,some famous people, popular activities and food, the prime minister and the national anthem! Here is a picture of some of the Primary 3’s with our french flags.

We have had a fantastic morning listening to our Under the Sea presentations. Here are some pictures of the talks so far!
