class 7 au château de la baudonnière
WEEK 3 · FRIDAY 14 SEPTEMBER 2012 CLASS 7 AU CHÂTEAU DE LA BAUDONNIÈRE Une fois encore les filles et garçons de Class7/Remove ont eu la chance de partir une semaine au Château de la Baudonnière en Normandie. Cette année le temps a été de la partie et nous n’avons pas eu la moindre goutte d’eau. Parmi les activités que les enfants ont pues découvrir il y avait le canoë, l’escalade, l’escrime, le tir à l’arc et bien d’autres encore. Les enfants ont également appris la très célèbre recette du pain à la française. Les réalisations de ces jeunes pousses de boulanger étaient délicieuses. Il y avait aussi au programme une excursion au Mont St Michel qui malgré les travaux de désensablement n’a rien perdu de sa superbe façade. Le matin était consacré à l’achat de spécialités ou devrais-je dire de camelote aux marchés de Villeneuve les Poêles ou de Dinan suivant les groupes. Il y a aussi eu une soirée française où chaque costume rivalisait d’inventivité et de beauté. Il y avait des vainqueurs du tour de France, des mimes, Astérix en plusieurs exemplaires, et même une grenouille. Pour le dîner ce soir là nous avons pu déguster des escargots qui ont été fort appréciés. Bien évidement au milieu de tout cet amusement nous n’avons pas oublié de pratiquer notre français. Je dois dire que j’ai été impressionné par la qualité de la participation de nos élèves. Elles nous ont prouvé qu’elles étaient maintenant prêtes à développer leur connaissance de la langue avec enthousiasme.

If your daughter would like to try one of these instruments we are offering free trial lessons. Please get in touch if this interests you. Adult Choir Calling all singers!

We will rehearse on Tuesday evenings in the US Hall 7.00-9.00 (starting Tuesday 25 September) The choir will sing at the Carol Service and occasional Evensongs and, once established, I hope we will perform choral works such as Fauré’s ‘Requiem’ etc. Please get in touch if you might be interested in this.
