Unique Learning Community
Today we sent Christmas greetings to our partner school in Cannes, France. The nursery children there showed us their cadeux (presents) from Pere Noel (Father Christmas) and their sapin (Christmas tree). We found out about Christmas traditions in France and asked them some questions about the galette des Rois, a special pie which they slice up and whoever finds the bean inside becomes the King or Queen.
Mrs Kavanagh went to Cannes in the south of France during the holidays with
other teachers from Shetland. She visited some primary schools, taught some lessons, visited centres of cultural important and experienced traditional cuisine. She’s really looking forward to sharing her knowledge with children on the northern Isles.
As part of the Erasmus programme and facilitated by LfEE’s Richard Tallaron and Julie D’Eathe in Shetland, Fetlar will link up with L’ecole primaire Bocca la Frayere. We will hopefully grow in understanding of each other through discussion in each others languages and sharing information. Thank you to everybody involved, including the Head teacher Gerard and teacher Aline at la Frayere, who along with other French teachers will be visiting Shetland at the beginning of November. We look forward to showing them a warm Shetland welcome.
