GRADE 9 FRENCH IMMERSION AT LOCKERBY COMPOSITE

Another week has come and gone at Lockerby Composite School and French Immersion classes have certainly been busy this past week! In our grade 9 French Immersion class, our students performed scenes from their novel study, La machine à rajeunir, under the direction of Laurentian University student teacher Ms. Hemmer. Our Vikings creatively and humorously brought the characters to life and shined in the spotlight!

GRADE 10 FRENCH IMMERSION AT LOCKERBY COMPOSITE The grade ten French Immersion Careers class was asked to choose ten moments that shaped their lives, Les événements qui ont façonné ma vie. Our students were asked to be creative in the way they present the events to the class. This past week our students completed a visual representation of their timeline in the STEAM Room. Our students were able to connect the events of their lives, both good and bad, and to their strengths. Some innovative timelines were in the form of a children’s book, a seed blossoming into a flower, and works of art. Several students mentioned the significant impact of Lockerby Composite School on their lives! Way to go Vikings!
