• En mai, le mercredi 30, Gwendoline et Anneke sont venues avec neuf élèves de leur lycée de Tumba (sud de Stockholm). Some pupils met up again on the Saturday and have kept in touch since then.

    We plan to visit them next year, perhaps in April ?

    Next article is on my own trip to Stockholm a week ago to get to know the country a little !





  • (12th March 2012)  This was a nice day, getting to know each other. A bit of French, a lot of English, they enjoyed the challenge !

  • Hi !

    Little by little I am organising your day with us /me (& with Odile, a bit).

    In each of my classes I suggest we mix the Norwegians and the French students so that they can have a chat as they feel it, with whoever wants to. I'll ask my students to be wearing their first names on a card so that your students can make out who answered the Xmas cards for instance.


    MONDAY 12th MARCH 2012


    (Before 9.00 : see below : buy tickets for the canteen).


    - I start at 9.00 with the music students. They are lively and not really shy. Pretty talkative. They are eager to see you all. It should be nice.

    - From 10.00 to 11.00 I have a class of Year 12 (lower 6th/1ères). The Principal and the Deputy Head will be coming some time during this period and we have planned to bring some fruit juice and crisps ! They are keen on seeing you, too. The Head knows Norway and loves Stanvanger.

    - 11.00 to 12.00 with Terminales (Upper sixth). You will stay only half an hour with them.

    - at 11.30 my "secondes" (year 11) will be coming for you and take you to the school canteen. They are doing that especially to see you because I have no class with them on Mondays and they usually go home for lunch or eat out.
    They are also very happy about the opportunity !
    I can join you just after 12.00.
    YOU MUST BUY THE MEAL TICKETS IN THE MORNING. THE BEST WOULD BE JUST BEFORE 9.00. I don't dare buy the tickets in advance, just in case everyone changes his mind !

    - At 1.00 pm  (till 2.00) I have a lower sixth again; you can mix with them as well; they are looking forward to seeing you !

    After 2.00 I am free and I can be with you. Odile starts at 2.00 (!) and wishes to see you, too, but to take only four or five pupils in her classroom for her students to have a chat in English with yours in small groups.


    But by then you will all be fed up with having chats !!!!
    So we may plan something different for you (as far as I'll be allowed in such a structure; or would you like to visit a museum ?)

    I am starting to have ideas...

    See you soon !

     

     

     


  • Hello, Hetland school !


    Many thanks for your lovely Xmas cards ! I've only just started handing them out.


    Les élèves sont ravis, elles ont un énorme succès. Alors j'espère que vous allez recevoir plein d'e-mails de France !


    A bientôt de vos nouvelles !

  • Merci d'avoir modifié vos dates !


    Pour les élèves de Hetland, voici une photo de nos sapins de Noël en ville, tout près du lycée, avant qu'on ne les décore de guirlandes.  Les autres arbres sont bien verts (nous avons beaucoup de pins et de cyprès), mais ceux-là sont conformes à notre représentation d'un véritable Noël !


    (hier, à 8h30)


    (C'est mouillé parce que les rues sont lavées tous les matins).

     

    Bientôt Noël. Et la neige ?
