TRANSAT Jacques Vabre 2019, CM2 to the collision!

Status

The 18 octobre 2019, the pupils of the CM2 class had the chance to meet two skippers of the Transat Jacques Vabre. A very interesting meeting especially since the students had worked on the documents of the educational kit provided by the sponsors Bureau Vallée and Initiatives Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque. Au programme : geography with the study of the various landmarks of the terrestrial globe (parallels, meridians, …) allowing them to read GPS coordinates during the race, mathematics with the comparison of rainfall curves in Havre and Salvador de Bahia, videos about life aboard a racing boat, etc. A cette occasion, the children were able to ask a lot of relevant questions. Nothing like going to the village of the race!

Tea tasting

Posted on 3 December 2017 by Florence Gosselin

Last week, we had a tea tasting with the CM2s. Tea is the second most popular drink in the world. It was invented 4,700 years ago by the Chinese emperor, Shen Nung. Tea became popular in Europe in 1610. The most popular form of tea is the tea bag. It was invented by Thomas Sullivan, a tea and coffee merchant. One day, he decided to send samples of tea wrapped in little silk bags to his customers. Much to his surprise, when the orders arrived, his customers insisted that the tea be wrapped in these little silk bags. Each year, there are over 800 billion cups of tea consumed worlwide. In our class, we tasted (colour, smell, taste) many sorts of tea (Earl Grey, green tea, Oolong, Darjeeling,etc.) with a banana bread, we are now ready for a blind test!
