MOT de nos Correspondants anglais et américains ( CE2 / CM1 )

“Hello, We are pupils from a primary school in Herne in Kent, about ??? km from Dover. We’ve been studying French for about two years and we are really pleased to be joining in a partnership with your school whereby we can learn more about the French culture and the French language and, above all, make friends with some real French children. Already, through the letters we have exchanged, we have started to notice some similarities and differences between our two different schools. From our photo, you will see that we have to wear a school uniform. Another big difference is the fact that we are a church school. This means that, not only do we study Religious Education (like all schools in Great Britain) but, also, we have close links with the local Anglican church. We look forward to learning more about your school and where you live, and maybe, one day, it’ll be possible for us to come and visit you. You are, of course, very welcome to come and meet us.”

Bonjour,

Nous sommes des élèves de l’école primaire de Herne dans le Kent, proche de Douvres. Nous étudions le français depuis 2 ans et nous sommes très contents de correspondre avec votre école ; ainsi, nous apprenons beaucoup sur la culture et la langue françaises . Qui plus est, nous devenons amis avec des vrais élèves français.

Déjà, au travers des lettres que nous avons échangées, nous avons déjà remarqué des similitudes et des différences entre nos écoles.

Si vous regardez nos photos, vous verrez que nous portons un uniforme à l’école. Nous avons aussi appris qu’en France, l’école est laïque alors qu’en Angleterre non.

Nous sommes impatients d’apprendre encore beaucoup de choses sur votre école et sur où vous vivez ; et peut être qu’un jour, nous vous rendrons visite. Vous êtes vous aussi les bienvenus !

Quelques remarques d’élèves de la classe de DS :

"I think it's good to have a partner school in France because it's interesting to learn what people in France do and we can learn more French." "I think it's good to have a partner school in France because you make new friends and we learn French and your partner learns some English." "I think it's good to have a class that communicate with us from France because we can learn their lifestyle and they can learn ours, so it is multi-cultural. Also, it means that we now have friends overseas!"
