Dear Parents
We would like to offer our French students from Year 3-6 the opportunity to take part in the Alliance Française Poem Recitation Competition.
Poetry reciting is taught extensively in schools in France and other francophone countries and is a big part of growing up in the French school system. Most French people still remember their favorite poems learned as a child!
In French class we will spending a lesson to introduce the poem for the year group and talk about some strategies to learn the verses by heart.
Students who wish to enter the competition are asked to practice the poems over the April holidays at home. Please find the selected poems below , links to the audio recording are also available.
If your child wishes to participate in this event, please download the entry form return it to school by the 28 April (Week 1, Term 2). All participants are required to submit a video recording of the student reciting the poem. This recording can be done at home (the students full body needs to be visible) or can be done at school.
An Alliance Française jury will select the finalists who will be invited to recite their poem at the Grand Final on Saturday, 25 June at the Alliance Française in Nedlands.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the Competition. More competition details can also be found on the Alliance Française Perth website.
Bien cordialement,
Madame Carniello

Poems
Year 3 & Year 4 Crayons de couleur Le vert pour les pommes et les prairies, Le jaune pour le soleil et les canaris, Le rouge pour les fraises et le feu, Le noir pour la nuit et les corbeaux Le gris pour les ânes et les nuages, Le bleu pour la mer et le ciel Et toutes les couleurs pour colorier Le monde Chantal Couliou | Year 5 & Year 6 Les habits neufs Pour le jour de la rentrée Maman m'a acheté Un pantalon rayé, Un pull tout bariolé, Une nouvelle ceinture, Une paire de chaussures. Planté devant la glace, Je me regarde en face. Avec ces cheveux courts Et ce blouson en velours, Est-ce vraiment moi Ce grand garçon là ? Je ne me reconnais pas ! Corinne Albaut |
