Gr 6 & 7 Guest Speaker- Abou Bai Sheka

We welcomed Abou into our Gr 6 & 7 French classes so that he could share with us his background,  experiences of living and teaching French at a university in France.

Interesting things we learned:

-he is a grandfather of a Gr 3 CCS student
-his name 'Abou' means 'papa' in Arabic...his last name 'Bai' means 'chef/chief/king' and 'Sheka' means 'spirit'
-he is from Sierra Leone
-he speaks 5 languages: English, French, Temne, Creole, Pidgin
*French is a gender language and every noun either is masculine or feminine
*French is spoken in many African countries
*School days in France are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, 1/2 day Saturday...Wednesday are off!


Merci beaucoup Abou!
