Our day out.....part 3

At the end of the afternoon all the pupils from the different schools came together to share a musical moment with our Year Ten pupil, Charlotte M who accompanied us on her guitar. Everyone had a great time singing along to one of our favourite English singers of the moment: Bruno Mars!
Thank you Charlotte!

After the singing, all the pupils went to the Lycée's cafeteria to see the grand final of the debating competition involving the year Ten pupils along with the year 11 and 12 pupils from Verneuil.

The final was a debate in English that lasted about 10 minutes. Here is a photo of the winning team.

This final was followed by one last musical moment but this time led by the older pupils, one of whom was really great on the electric guitar. This time we all sang along to Pharrell Williams' "Happy". And we were all very happy after such an interesting day.

Our day out... part 2

Once we were better acquainted with our counterparts, we were able to start preparing for the biggest job of the day - putting on our play: David Copperfield. During the year, the pupils had read Charles Dickens' book and then written short sketches for 3 of the chapters to be acted out along with the other pupils in the two other high schools. Our sketches were performed in front of the pupils from the Lycée.
Here are a few photos of the rehearsals in the morning and the sketches in the afternoon, props included!
