School trip to Amsterdam, 2017 (Lisa)

Hello,
Yesterday,  my friends and I went to Amsterdam for
school holidays. We were all pupils from the third and
fourth classes and it was really great . First, we took
the bus for 5 hours, that was really long! After that
we visited Kinderdijk and the museum of Anne Frank
before we walked to our hotel. I was really tired. Today
we have seen Texel from our bicycles and we have taken
the boat to travel to the island. I've got so much fun with
my friends and Amsterdam is beautifull! Tomorrow,
we're going to take photo's in Volendam with weird clothes.
I think we'll eat fish for lunch because it's next to the sea.
Let's go!

School trip to Amsterdam (Clémentine)

Hello,

Last week we had our school trip to Amsterdam.  We had a lot of fun! Here is what we did:

22/05/2017
We took the bus at 5:30 AM "Place du Bronze" in La Roche. The first thing we visited were mills. We climbed until the top of a mill. In some of them, people were living and looked after it. Then, we visited the Anne Frank's house. This hiding place is full of a strange and heavy atmosphere. This young girl was extremely brave during the second world war. In spite of her painful life, she was always smiling. After, we went to the "Rijksmuseum". It's a famous and very big museum (more than 200 rooms of exhibition). Finally, we went in the center to eat and walk.

23/05/2017
That day, we took the boat to go to an island named "Texel". It was very nice. To live there must be pleasant. At the arrival on the island, we rented bikes to cross the small island. It was very funny but also tiring. After lunch, we went cycling 500 meters to join the beach. We went in the sea. We made photos. Around 4 PM, we took the boat to Amsterdam where we ate and had free time.

24/05/2017
It was the last day of our trip. We took the bus to "Volendam". There, we made a photograph of us dressed with typical and traditional costumes. After we had free time and we ate at "Mc Donald". Before returning to La Roche, teachers who were with us paid us an ice-cream.


The Nederlands were wonderful.

Clémentine Mathias.

Un karaoké pas comme les autres !


Bonjour les amis,

Nous avons été un peu paresseux au niveau du blog cette année...  Veuillez nous en excuser, mais nous avons été très occupés par la mise en oeuvre de notre grand projet.
De quoi s'agit-il ? Les élèves de la 1e maternelle à la rhéto ont créé de toutes pièces un SITE DE KARAOKES ILLUSTRES !
Il compte, à ce jour, plus de 100 vidéos permettant d'aborder le français, l'anglais, le néerlandais et même... le latin de manière ludique.  Voilà une belle occasion pour vous de passer quelques heures de cours bien sympathiques !
Ce projet a été primé "Label européen des langues" ce 10 mai dernier à Bruxelles. 
Deux jours plus tard, nous avons organisé une grande soirée karaoké dans notre école, c'était génial !  Il y avait une ambiance extraordinaire !
Nous vous offrons notre travail.  Si vous utilisez notre site pour chanter en classe, il serait très sympa de votre part de publier une photo sur le blog ! 
Vous voulez en savoir plus sur notre projet, visionner toutes les photos et vidéos de la soirée ?? Cliquez vite sur l'image ci-dessous :

réponse à Kaytie (Clémence)

Salut Kaytie,
En Belgique, le parc d’attraction le plus connu est Walibi.
Nous n’avons pas d’équipe de sport dans notre école. En Belgique, il y a beaucoup de sports différents mais le plus connu est surement le football. Moi-même je fais du foot depuis que j’ai 5 ans. Je joue au gardien de but. Est-ce que toi aussi, tu pratiques un sport et si oui lequel. As-tu Facebook ?
Salut

Clémence

Hello, how are you ? (Aymeric)

Hello, this is Aymeric.  How are you in USA with the new président "Donnald TRUMP " ?  I don't like him, he is racist. In Belgium we have snow, do you have some in Alabama? Snow, it's cool, it's cold but it's cool, also it's dangerous it may cause a road accident. How are you?


Bye
