St Joseph’s School Aizenay

8 classes : 2 classes of 3/4 yr. olds, 2 classes of 4/5 yr. olds, 4 classes 5/6 yr. olds.

Our liaison with this school is long standing. Every year, in Spring, three members of the AFB go into the school for two days. We tell stories in English, play games and sing songs. Each year the topic is different. This year, 28th and 29th March,
we had a story and games in the school hall linked to the theme of The Olympics.
The children and staff really appreciate our visits. We have lots of fun together.

 

Lycée Notre Dame du Roc, La Roche sur Yon

Again, this college has a long-standing annual liaison with the AFB. The English-speaking department has historically teamed up with the catering department to organise English speaking events. Every year the theme is different. This year 8 members of the AFB attended the event on 22nd May.

24 students from the European section and Catering department had a trip to Ile de Re. On route back, the members of the AFB met the students in Jardin Dumaine in Lucon and they shared a picnic together. In this informal setting the students were able to practice their English and get to know the English speakers who they were hosting. This was followed by a very comprehensive tour of the Mourat vineyard in Mareuil-sur-Lay. A little wine tasting was a good way to end a very enjoyable day.
