BC Family French Camp - registration is open

1/24/2015

0 Comments

 
At BC Family French Camp, children from French Immersion bring their families along to camp. Families camp in their own tents or trailers. A friendly neighbourhood is formed - surrounded by the sounds of children playing and singing in French. It is really quite an experience! 

Check out the BCFFC  webpage for loads of information (including registration) :  www.bcffc.com
Here is a glimpse into a week at French  camp : 2014 Slideshow

The camps run  in July and August and include 3 locations - Shuswap Lake, Nanaimo, and Gwillim Lake.
Don't worry , parents do not  need to be able to speak French.

Please see the following message from a Kindergarten parent:


We are currently seeking immediate before and after school care for our daughter. She is in Mme Janesse's Div 18 kindergarten class and we would require someone to take her to class and pick her up from class at end of school day. Ideally we would be looking for an 8am drop off and 530pm pick up. Any leads are greatly appreciated!  It is best I reach me via email at amyfairbridge@gmail.com.

Regards,
Amy Fairbridge

Share your opinions on City of Vancouver planning and projects

1/8/2015

0 Comments

 
Would you like to share your perspectives with the City of Vancouver on issues related to planning and projects? Data from previous surveys suggests that families with children are underrepresented in public meeting and opinion survey data collected (No kidding!  Who has the time?).  Consider joining “Talk Vancouver” and provide input via short online surveys you can complete while waiting to pick up your kids from school, soccer, piano, or waiting in the bleachers at the hockey rink or swimming pool.

Info from an experienced French tutor

1/8/2015

0 Comments

 
Please see the message below if you are looking for a French tutor to come to your house:

Bonjour !
I have years of experience in tutoring French with great results, to students from primary school to university and I have excellent references validating my experience and skills, as you can see on my website. (See link below)

As a native French speaker, I can offer strong support in accent reduction, the tricky subtleties of French grammar as well as idiomatic expressions. I am also familiar with Vancouver School Board’s curriculum. I am a good communicator and I have a solid knowledge of French grammar. Over the past few years, I have also collected many resources and methods to benefit my students.

I adapt the lessons to meet each individual student’s needs and learning style. We can focus on grammar, comprehension, reading, pronunciation, conversation or any particular aspect of the French language.

I can drive to most neighbourhoods in Vancouver to meet with my students in their residence.

For more information, visit my website at www.allons-y-Frenchtutoring.com
Merci !

0 Comments

 
Did you make a new year’s resolution to improve your spoken French in 2015? Here’s your chance! Why not join fellow Tennyson parents for French conversation in a relaxed (and non-judgemental) atmosphere? Don’t feel shy… the only way to improve is to try! ;) 

There are two groups to choose from: Friday afternoons at 1:30 pm or Tuesday evenings at 6:30 pm. The first Friday afternoon group will meet this Friday, January 9th (at a café in Kits) and the first Tuesday group will be next Tuesday, January 13th (location to be confirmed).

If you’re interested, please contact Donalyn by e-mail at donalyn.simpson@gmail.com .

Au plaisir de parler avec vous!

Donalyn (mom to Charlotte, grade 4)
