The French Show

Last Friday, the grade one through six students starred in the French Show. Each class performed a play that was followed by a song and dance number.

The night was started by all the students singing the “Bonjour” song, which is a song the grade one through four students sing to begin each French class. The Kindergarteners in the audience were also welcome to join in and sing the welcome song.

The first performers were the Primary class. They performed a puppet show about a cat who was looking for a home. After the puppet show they took a bow and then danced and sang about the cat who had found his home.

Next the Junior Room students took the stage and performed a skit about a girl named Marie from Quebec who was trying to visit her friend Pierre in France and all her adventures along the way.  

Finally the grade five and six class performed their welcome rap and the play Louis la Grenouille. It is about a frog who loves rock music and is lonely, one day he comes across a magic lamp and rubs it. A genie appears and tells Louis to look in the woods for a friend. Louis meets several potential friends but they did not appreciate his love of rock music. Finally Louis finds a girl grenouille (frog) who also loves rock music and they live happily ever after.

 The students sang their goodbye song and all enjoyed refreshments after the show.
