La Roche sur Yon 2019 - c'est parti!

Bonjour à tous!

We had a very timely and smooth departure from Sheldon at 2am on Saturday morning (!), and set off to France with 22 drowsy and excited students.

They were exemplary on the coach and, despite a long journey of 14 hours, we pulled into Collège Edouard Herriot just before 5pm in high spirits.

Everyone was thrilled to be imminently reunited with their French partners and had spent the last 30 minutes of the journey hastily practising their French and scribbling down essential phrases (je ne comprends pas!, Le Wi-Fi s'il vous plaît?!).

As we pulled up to the collège, we were greeted with welcome banners and a sea of happy faces. After lots of hugging and fairing of the bises, we waved everyone off to spend the weekend en famille.

We'll be in touch tomorrow to let you know if our students survived a weekend of frogs and snails and parler français!

A plus !
Mrs Bowie, Miss Lang and Mr Spurdell
