Coucou à tous!
Mercredi matin: a morning spent in our partner school, Collège Edouard Herriot.
On arrival, we were greeted in usual tradition with a brioche breakfast and a welcome from the Principal. He gave a very succinct and encouraging speech about the importance of l'amitié (friendship) between our students, not to mention our schools and our countries. And yes, he might have mentioned le Brexit...
Our students then spent a very formative morning in an authentic setting, sitting in on lessons and participating in a wide array of activities. Some sat in on maths, IT and sciences, whilst others experienced music lessons (singing in English!) or English (a treasure hunt to save the Queen's crown jewels!). We are always impressed both at how accommodating the French teachers are and at how well our students rise to the challenge.
On Wednesday afternoons there is no school in France so our étudiants disappeared off for more French fun in the sun at midday, leaving us with no option but to do the same.
We'll catch up with them tomorrow for a very exciting day of novelty: a bit of breadmaking followed by an illuminated manuscript workshop. All in French bien sûr!
A demain!
