Meet Marina...
Hello !
My first name’s Marina and my family name’s HILS. I was born on the twenty-second of February, nineteen ninety-five. So, I’m fourteen.
I’ve got a five-year-old brother and a twenty-year-old sister. I’ve also got two dogs and a rabbit. I study at Bernstein High School.
I’m tall and I’m of medium build. I have green eyes and long straight blond hair. I’m extremely optimistic, a little bit nosy, very outgoing, quite flexible but impatient and all my friends say I’m caring.
Every Tuesday and Friday, I play basketball from six pm to eight pm. Every day except Wednesday and Sunday, I get up at half past seven.
I’m fond of basketball. I enjoy going to parties, listening to music and surfing to the Internet. On Saturday, I like rushing out to the latest movie or concert. I dislike intolerance, irresponsibility, dishonesty and impoliteness. I hate vegetables.
I can’t live whithout my music because I play bass and guitar. Later, I would like to have a job in music or in cinema.
Now, tell me about your life !
About our European Section
In the European Section, we learn lots of interesting things. It’s not a subject like another because we help each other and we work together.
Last year, first we spoke about the British Isles and every group had to do a presentation about a British Isles country. Then we made a little session about the Royal Family. After that, Christmas came and we started to speak about Australia: Did you know that in Australia, Father Christmas is in a swimsuit? This session was very funny. We talked about Australia's discovery (James Cook, 19th April 1770). And then we came to a very good subject: the aboriginals and their traditions.
Some of us did a dreamtime story, that's an aboriginal story about how the world was created. And the others had to do a travel brochure about Australian's different states.
On the one hand, the travel brochure presentations was very interesting and we wanted to go to Australia; and on the other hand the dreamtime stories were super too! You can read them on the blog.
Conclusion the European section is a great subject …

What we found out about Ferrers...
During E.S we did a web quest to find information about our partner school in England. This is what we found:
The Ferrers School is in the middle of England in Rushden. The nearest big town is Northampton. We can see on the map, they play a lot of sports like Tennis, baseball, longjump , diskus, football and cricket. The name of the principal is Dr Rosemary Litawski.
They learn a lot of languages , first they learn German, then French and Spanish. After two years , they can learn to speak Russian , and Chinese. The specialist subjects are dancing, art , music , drama and design technology. There are 1091 pupils in the school. The colours of the uniforms are white and dark blue. The summer holidays start on the 20th of july. The grade which corresponds to 4ème and 3ème in France are year 10 and year11.
Next May we hope to meet them and visit London and Paris with them.

Introducing ourselves...
Presentation of our school
"Bernstein High"
by Damla and Cornelia
Our school’s name is “Bernstein High”. There are between 400 and 450 pupils. Bernstein High is a normal school; we have school from 8.00am to midday then we go to eat in the canteen. Next we return to school from 1.30pm to 4.30pm but Tuesdays it’s till 5.30pm instead of 4.30pm. We have school on Saturdays morning too that’s why we don’t have school on Wednesday.
We stay at Bernstein High for four years. The first years, we can begin to do more sports than the other people if we want. It’s the UNSS (Union National des Sports Scolaire). The Second year, we can begin to learn Latin. And the third year, we can have two hours more English in the European Section where we learn the history of English countries. Our school is cool, dynamic with a very good atmosphere.
Presentation of the European Section Class
In our class, we are 24 pupils. We often work in groups and we discover lots of things about English-speaking countries. In the European Section we work less than in the other subjects, for example last year we did presentations about the British Isles, it was funny and every group did one of the British countries. Then we talked about Australia and some of us (seven pupils) had an Australian pen friend. Australia is as beautiful a country as British Isles. When we did Australia we did Dreamtime stories with an Aboriginal drawing or a Travel Brochure of the states or territories of Australia. And this year we are going to work on America and Great Britain because we are going to go to London and Paris with you. When Mrs Stenger said that we could have English pen friends we were very happy because maybe we will have new friends!
So, we like our class because all hours we have a good time!
Camille's summer hols.
Hello !
My name is Camille ANDRES. I'm thirteen and I live in Dambach-la-Ville. I've got one sister, one dog and one horse. I play the piano and I started the guitar this year. I also play tennis but I'm very dangerous ! I always throw the ball on someone. I go to the pool and I ski. 
This holiday I went to Panormo, in Crete. I left on the twenty-fourth of August for one week. I went there by plane with my family. In the afternoon, I went to the beach, I swam in the pool and I played tennis and volleyball. The weather was very hot and sunny all the week. One day, I did an expedition in 4x4 : I discovered the country and the landscape was beautiful ! It was great fun to stay standing up in the car ! I left on the first of September. It was a wonderful holiday !
Bye !
