We grouped pupils vertically and each teacher had a subject and pupils moved to different classes each day. We made crepes,built models of Eiffel tower painted out doors in the style of Monet and made huge cave paintings of the caves of Lascaux.We also did music and geography and played boule. We all had a great time. I also got a native french speaker to come and read stories in assembly.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;">What is happening where you are?
