I go to school in La Roche. I get up at 6 o'clock and I go to school by bus (two hours a day). It's very long! 
 My options are Sciences and Latin. I've a lot of work but I like biology, physics, chemistry and Latin. I've a lot of friends in my school. It's fantastic!

 My favourite activities are watching TV (soaps) and cooking cup cakes. But I'm not a sporty girl.                                     
 
 See you !

The very first post !!!

Hello everybody !

How are you ?

We are your new friends from La Roche.  La Roche is a small town in the south of Belgium but maybe you don't know much about Belgium. It's such a small country...
Belgium is in Europe and its capital is Brussels. Brussels is considered the capital of the European Union. 

There are 200 students in our school.  How many students are there in your school ?
We are in the third form (third year after the primary school) but it's our first year of English.  We are beginners...
There are ten students in our English class.  How many pupils are there in your class ?

The youngest student is 13 and the oldest is 15.  There are 3 boys and 7 girls. 

Next week, we are going to introduce ourselves.
 
We hope to hear from you soon !
