 Ecole Jean Froissart staff meet York Road Staff
On 18th June, forty-two year 4 pupils and six members of staff set off at 0545 to catch the shuttle to France. We arrived in Valenciennes at 1130 French time and spent a wonderful afternoon with the pupils and staff at our link school Ecole Jean Froissart.
There was time to play with the French pupils, to have a tour of the school and watch some lessons, to visit the town and buy some cakes and to share some delicious local delicacies –tarte au chuc – prepared by the staff and children. Everyone had a super time. The journey was good, the weather was wonderful and the French welcome was overwhelming. It was a memorable day for everyone!
We hope next year that pupils from the Ecole Jean Froissart can visit us and we can repay their kindness.
Take a look at this French newspaper website to see how they reported on our visit!
Also, this is our partner school’s report on their own website.
