Hello Parents/Students,
We did a session on the cardinal points (les points cardinaux) today. Students are expected to know:
"Nord, Sud, Est, Ouest". They should also know the "points intermédiaires": Nord-Ouest, Sud-Ouest, Sud-Est, et Nord-Est.
We learned what a compass is in French "une Boussole" and what "La rose des vents" is and how it is used on a map.
Students can continue to play and watch the videos to get familiar with these concepts.
Here is a fun science experiment you can do at home find magnetic north using a needle and a magnet.

Next class we will be doing longitude and latitude and how to use a legend.
