El Periódico de Aragón has echoed our competition of postcards to congratulate the year in French and published last Saturday, 23rd November, a news item about our proposal, addressed this year to our pupils of CP and CE1 (1st and 2nd Primary Education). Remember that this year we will have the presence of the renowned French writer Véronique Le Normand.

The CE2 students (3rd year of Primary Education) have returned from their visit to the Exhibition ‘Zaragoza map by map: services at your side’, at the Ebro Environmental Centre. There they learnt how to read a map, studied where the most inhabitants used to live, took a tour of the geographical evolution of Zaragoza and interacted with the streets and emblematic places of their city. They will no longer be afraid if they have to interpret or explain a map to their elders.

The French Lay Mission, the non-profit association which runs our school, continues to expand its network of schools around the world. It recently opened l'École RCWMlf-Renault-China in Wuhan (China). There, 15 pupils between 5 and 14 years of age will be enrolled. This network allows our families to take their children to any of the nearly 500 French schools around the world without having to change their educational system.

Every term, our Head of Infant and Primary Education, Muriel Romero-Fabre, holds the ‘Conseil d'Enfants’, a meeting with a delegate from each class of CP, CE1, CE2, CM1 and CM2 (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th Primary). The meeting took place on Friday and dealt with issues such as time out of class, recess, canteen time and other points that could be improved.

Our 2nde and 3ème (4th and 3rd ESO) children are flying to Paris on Saturday to take part in a two week exchange with the Lycée Rodin in Paris. This is the third year in a row and they will be flying with the students from the Paris school, who have already spent two weeks in Zaragoza with our families. It is a total linguistic immersion for our students, which will perfect their French.
