Bonjour! We have just come back from Spring break and we are now in our last period of the school year. Time is flying by!
As the end of the school year approaches - so do a lot of field trips and school events!
The students participated in the “Cross,” a race designed for each grade level. It was also a bit of a celebration for the new stadium Stade Commandant Hébert opening. Four different schools participated and it was so much fun getting to cheer the kids on!
Going to school in Deauville gives the kids lots of amazing opportunities: swim lessons, horseback riding lessons, and bike lessons (piscine, pony, et vélo). How cool is that! Now that they have done the cross, next is a triathlon which is a very big sport in this area.
At the end of the school year, they will have an end-of-year performance, karmesse, which we are starting to prepare for. At Saint-Arnoult we are working on singing Flowers by Miley Cyrus and at Tourgéville we are working on singing We Are the World (USA for Africa). The kids are doing great with both!
The past few months since I arrived I have tried to get more involved in the community. I joined the local soccer team AS Trouville Deauville and we are currently first in our league!
I also tried a new sport for the first time, la marche nordique (Nordic Walking). I was by far the youngest one there and everyone was so kind, helpful, and welcoming! I ended up loving the new sport and even bought my own set of poles.
