Cholet French Exchange Trip 2016

Our annual exchange trip to Cholet is underway, please follow our blog:

Sunday 19th June

After spending the afternoon and evening with their penfriends on Saturday, the weather stayed fine for our picnic at La Séguinière with all the French families. There were all sorts of games, a friendly water fight and plenty of homemade culinary delights to help all the students get to know each other.

Monday 20th June

After an early start (8am in class for some students!) we toured the school with a quiz, listened to a presentation about the activities planned for the week and enjoyed an amazing lunch in the canteen. French and English students sported white shirts and Highcliffe ties - quite strange with jeans on the bottom half! In the afternoon we took a coach to " Parc de Moine " where we completed an orienteering challenge in French and English, with our year 8s finishing first and finding the edible treasure. Students then went home to organise their outfit for tomorrow's legendary "Trémosport"...

Tuesday 21st June

Here are a few pictures of our students in action at "Trémosport", the annual sports day where everyone takes part and dresses up. Despite the grey skies, fun was had by all. In the evening, all the students took to the streets of Cholet to explore the "Fête de la Musique" with their penfriends and families.
