Cheese... You know, cheese!!!

This is totally unrelated to anything we have been studying French-wise in class but...!

I just wanted to take this chance to give a great, big, wonderful shout-out to you Room5ian girls in "Annie" - You are all sensational and it has been spectacular seeing you all in the spotlight!!

Well done to you all. You should all be very proud of yourselves! Break a leg for the rest of the season (Not literally Spud... Enough broken body parts from you lol)

Pictures and Story Time

ABOVE: The Champs-Elysee and Arc de Triomphe at night time (Not my own picture, so not that talented haha!)

ABOVE: The view from the 2nd floor of the Eiffel Tower

These are the photos from today that didn't show up particularly well on the wall, my own fault really!! If you have ANY questions about Paris or some stories about travelling there, please share them with me! I have become quite accustomed to the story telling talent of Room5ians!!!

Enjoy,

PARIS - City of Lights!!

Bonjour tout le monde,

J'espère que vous avez appris quelque bonne infomation sur la ville de Paris. C'est une ville merveilleuse!!

The "Time Out" link will take you to a website about Paris and the things that there are to do there.

The other is a site dedicated to pictures of Paris. The photos website is really cool with some fantastic black and white shots as well as some photos taken at night time.

I know you are doing a photography unit at the moment with Mr Woody so maybe you will get some good ideas?

Le Kazakhstan - Kazakhstan (Note that this is masculin!!)
La République des îles Fidji - Fiji
