The week before the school holidays.

All kinds of goodies have been planeed for this week. Apparently the theme is "earth, wind, air and fire". Yesterday, the class took a trip to the fire station. All I got out of Allie was that the sirens were very loud. Today was a day trip to the Papilorama in Kerzers. Both classes of the Ecole Enfantine left by train at 9 am and returned at 3:30 this afternoon. I picked up Allie and his friend in the afternoon.

The woman in pink surrounded by the group of children is the Maitresse, Cecile. She is renowned for her calm, firm manner and sunny disposition. I think she rocks and so does Allie :) All of the children wore red baseball caps with their names on, and the pictures are of her collecting them, then sending the children individually to their mothers. The first picture has Tobe at the bottom, asking why he can't be in Allie's class. This has been a hard week for him, and it's only Tuesday.



This is James with Allie. He is the other English speaker in Allie's year, but luckily he's in the 'Koala' class (Allie's in the Pandas). Neither would ever speak French if they were in the same class.
