" LA JOURNÉE D’UN ÉCOLIER À BRINDAS

Bonjour, je m'appelle Timothé.
Le matin, c'est soit papa soit maman qui me réveille. Ensuite, je vais aux toilettes. Puis, je prends mon petit déjeuner, je me lave les dents, je fais mon cartable et je pars à l'école.
On entre en classe à 8h30. On a une récréation de 10h15 à 10h30. À 11h30, c'est l'heure du repas à la cantine.
L'école recommence à 13h30. Le mardi et le vendredi, on finit à 15h00. À partir de 15h00, on fait des activités : sports, travaux manuels, dessin, etc. Le lundi et le jeudi, on finit à 16h30. Le mercredi, il n’y a pas de classe l’après-midi.
Après l’école, je rentre chez moi et je goûte. Le soir, je me lave, je dîne, je regarde un peu la télévision et je me couche.

PS : Vous avez de la chance de pouvoir apporter vos Ipads à l’école !!!

Timothé L. "


Let us know if you understood everything…
Amitiés.

Collaborating with France

As part of 'Relating to Others' at the start of this year our students have looked at New Zealand and compared it to France. We've had some fantastic contact with CM2 From Brindas School in France. We compared New Zealand to France and asked some questions about their lives and way of living. They have produced a video of answers and some more questions. You can click on the link to it here.

A Gift to Us from France!

Today in the classroom we were very surprised to hear that a gift had arrived for us in the office.  We were very excited to see what it was and opened it very slowly... it was a gift from France from our friends in CM2 at Brindas School. Ashley and Aroha created this iMovie slideshow.

How many Amusement Parks are in Taranaki?

Our friends from Brindas School in France had a straightforward question for us to answer - how many Amusement Parks are there in Taranaki? The answer is none! There's only really one in the whole of New Zealand! Te Rau was lucky enough to go there during the holidays. This video was created for students in Brindas, France.
