Aujourd'hui, vous avez fait une dictée dessinée: vous avez écouté 2 descriptions physiques et dessiné les visages correspondants.
Puis vous avez écouté "trouble at the hotel" pour trouver qui avait retrouvé le téléphone de Mavis et l'ourson de Dennis.
Enfin nous avons joué à "qui est-ce", voici la leçon du cahier:
