Blogging in room 013

The photographers were Manon F, Manon R and Alexiane.

The fortune-tellers were Bérénice, Alexiane, Anaïs,Valentin(Valentina?)and Mikael(Mikaela?), they were all very funny and the teacher loved their costumes and their sexy make up. The clients were often very strange and not so well-behaved! Some were drunk, some were very rude, some fainted and even died from the shock.Their costumes were also very good. Congratulation to the 'company'!

Hello Najime,

We spent one day in the Salève with 6ème3. We had great fun even though the weather was chilly in the morning( we had forgotten our jumpers and jackets!). We went for a long walk in the forest with Frederic who explained to us everything about trees and plants, insects and animals who live in the Salève. We met a farmer who had lost two calves and had been looking for them for days.
Then we had our picnic lunch outside the "Maison du Salève". In the afternoon we went to Chartreuse de Pomier but before that we played (a sort of) baseball then did a tug-a-war.

We took pictures for you. We hope you will like them. Of course we read your comments, thank you so much! It was great to have news from you. Are your school lunches good? Do you have new friends? We know you live in the country, do you like that?

Everybody from 5e5

Last Wednesday some pupils from 5e5 didn't do their homework. Hard luck!
Jordan phoned Kevin who was at his grand mother's and his diary being at home he couldn't help poor Jordan. Hard luck!
Saliha lost her diary so couldn't do her homework. She found it two days later. Hard luck!
Aloys did his homework but forgot it on his desk. Hard luck!
Nobody told Alexandre there were exercises to do. Hard luck!
Do you think the English teacher believed them???

PS:Jürgen is a funny gardener: he planted cherries! Cherries???

Culicoides Impunctatus, to give them their latin name, are native to the Highlands, although similar beasties are found all over the world (probably having travelled there under the kilts of Scottish soldiers)

Only one kind of midge bites... either the male or the female... can you guess which one?

Do you know why there are green, white and orange balloons? On 17th March it was St Patrick's Day! It was the National day in Ireland. The teacher gave us tattoos with shamrocks, flags of Ireland and Leprechauns.

I'll give you the answer in a song:

"The Lord put the Garden of Eden on Earth, And it’s north of the Tweed we believe. Aye, Scotland’s the place where the whole human race started off - with McAdam and Eve! In 6 days or under, God finished his wonders (except for the Forth and Tay bridges) Then always a bloke for a practical joke He made Scotland the home of .... the midges''!!!!

The pupils from 5e1+2 and 5e5 have drawn what Scotland represents for them and their friends and 4èmes have chosen the 10 drawings they liked best out of 50.

Can you answer these questions?

1- Have you noticed anything about their kilts? How many tartans and why?
2-Why is Eoghann closing his eyes?
3-Why is Colin hitting his head?
4-Why is Duncan smoking a cigarette on a photo?
5-Why is John waving his hand?

The first one who answers all the questions is the winner.

Celtic Connections is a huge annual music festival that takes place in Glasgow. The majority of the music is traditional with many other influences (world, jazz, reggae to name but a few!) and this year there are performances from artists from over 20 countries.
This year is also particularly special as the festival is celebrating the 250th birthday of Scotland’s most famous poet, Robert Burns.
Celtic connections is also celebrating Homecoming Scotland, which recognises all the major contributions Scotland has in many fields (sport, science and technology etc). Bands that I am particularly looking forward to hearing this year are La Bottine Souriante and Catriona Mackay (a very talented harper).My cousin is playing the fiddle in the band Salsa Celtica and I’m sure that will be a gig to remember!! With very cheap flights to Glasgow from France it is easy to come and enjoy the festival and hopefully in the future you will all have the chance to come across also!!
