We will keep the first section in last week's notes for the next time you are here in person.

We completed chapter 2 last week.

We would be at Christmas of Year 7 if this were completed in school. By now, there would have been some class testing. Mathis's online self-marking exercises should be a suitable alternative to these.

So, today we begin Chapter 3 from Dynamo.

P56 and 57 Hobbies in the French-speaking World.

P58 and 59 - The weather, the seasons and activities in various weather conditions.

This chapter discusses hobbies and other pastimes. It begins by introducing the idea of « La Francophonie, " which refers to the countries where French is the main or a significant language.

Fichiers
