Omololu International School Incorporates French Into Their Program
During the Easter break, students from various schools across the island experienced a dynamic week of hands-on learning in the language of French, at the Omololu International School. French has always played a powerful global role in history, culture, fashion, cuisine and art and the OIS is delighted to incorporate this rich heritage into their program offering. The French Easter Camp served as a welcome jumpstart for the introduction of French as a subject of study incorporated into the OIS curriculum starting in April.
During the four day program, children were introduced to concepts including the alphabet, numbers, days of the week, months of the year and the seasons. They were also taught to introduce themselves and how to ask for items at a restaurant. On the final day, the camp culminated in a field trip to Le Bon Pain in Island Harbour where participants were able to practice the skills learned. At the end of the camp, students presented with certificates of participation by the facilitator Ms. Régine Niles and Ms. Samantha Alfred-Derrick, Office Administrator at the Omololu International School.
We would like to thank the parents who supported the camp by having their children participate, the Facilitator’s Assistant Ms. Vonda Sepersaud as well as our bus driver Mr. Prentice Hughes. We are delighted that the camp was a success on many levels and OIS is now in the planning stages of their upcoming community project: The O.I.S Summer Program slated for the month of July 07th – August 1st, 2014.
