Mercredi : au college et chez les partenaires français

Bonjour! Well half way through our trip and today Year 8, 9 & 10 pupils went to their exchange partners School College Edouard Herriot in La Roche sur Yon. Before all that though an énorme Happy Birthday to Jasmin Coon in BAU who became a teenager whilst with us in France today. Happy 13th Birthday Jasmin! She enjoyed a card and a present on behalf of the whole group at breakfast this morning. Then off to school to see the brand new school which has just been built with some lovely modern facilities. We especially liked the school bell marking lesson changeovers which played a relaxing tune!! To start we were welcomed very warmly by a speech from the deputy Head, followed by brioche and Orange juice. Pupils attended lessons lead by their exchange partners including singing, word games and quizzes. At midday we made our way to the park in la Roche sur Yon and had a picnic with our exchange partners and the French teachers. In the afternoon all pupils spent the afternoon doing various activities with their French partners. Some examples included bowling, going to the beach, ice skating, shopping and sightseeing. Having eaten with their partners, year 8 returned to the youth hostel where they continued some excellent work in their Exchange booklets. Weather has once again been very good today - mostly sunny. Looking forward to tomorrow, but sad that it's the last proper day before we must travel back to England. Bonne nuit! Monsieur L.
