Les CP deviennent écrivains

Notre arbre à poèmes pour le printemps

We made a poetry tree and all of the visitors to the school were invited to take a poem home.
We also included some drawings of spring.
 
We also recited some poems to the other classes. Listen for a taste of spring- By the kindergarten class.

Pajama, chocolate and croissants.. a great mix

On pajama day we enjoyed a very special treat- hot chocolate and warm croissants for snack! It was fun spending the day in our "jammies" - and even the teachers joined the fun!
In this video you will see us in our pajamas, and you will hear our chorus sing "Chocolat"!

Le Rallye Mathématiques



Students of 3rd, 4th and 5th grades worked together again this year to solve math problems of the “Rallye Maths”.  In this fun and challenging Math Competition, students have to solve logical problems and choose 8 out of 16 questions. Since the whole group has to send out one single answer sheet, the students not only have to agree on their answers but also discuss where to put the two jokers for extra points. It is great to see how students of different classes interact, discuss and exchange their ideas.

Visite des etudiants de Yarmouth

We were delighted to have a visit of six AP French students and their teacher from Yarmouth High School. They spent time in our classrooms, read us books, and took part in our activities. They were impressed with our speaking abilities!! We were happy to receive a lovely thank you note, it was a pleasure to share the day with these students.
