My holiday.
During my summer holidays, I went to Toulon in the south of France. I stayed two weeks. I travelled by train with my brother and my parents! Every day I slept in, I swam in the sea, I did shopping and I bought lots of clothes! The sea in Toulon was a bit cold but beautiful!! It was a nice holiday!
Three weeks after Toulon, I went to Nice with Charline in a summer camp! We met lots of girls and super boys! Every day we had different activities like scuba-diving, sunbathing...!
It was my favourite holiday!!!

I'm an actress !
Theatre Festival
Every Saturday, in the afternoon, I go to Heiligenstein for two hours of theatre with my friend Marie. Jaromir Knittel, my teacher is very nice. He is Czech and he speaks with a Czech accent.
In March, this year, me and my group went to the Czech Republic to take part in a theatre competition. It was a French Festival. Other groups represented other countries. There was: Italy, Roumania, Poland, Hungary and lots of Czech Republic groups. We were younger than all the participants and the only French group.
Every play was performed in French. It was nice because the other groups had learnt their lines in French.
We played a musical called Cats. In the play, we danced, sang and we played comedy. It was difficult because we learnt the play in one month. But it was nice. I sang with my friend Marie in a duo and it was beautiful.
All of my group was made up as cats and we had costumes.
At the end of our performance, all the public stood up and applauded for ten minutes. It was magical.
When the Festival ended, the prize giving took place and we had the first prize.
“The public’s prize”!
The Jury gave each person of my group a diploma with their name, and our teacher received theatre books.
Then, we returned to France to announce our success.

DREAMTIME STORIES
Beautiful Colours
A long time ago in the Dreamtime, there was an awful island. It had white sand and the water had no colour.
A little boy lived on this island. He was bored of the landscape. He dreamed every night of a beautiful beach with pastel colours like blue, purple, green, grey and turquoise which represented the beach of his dreams.
One day he used pastel colours and painted on his friend’s body. He found the picture was like his dream. But the boy wanted the drawing to become real. He took his friend to the sea. The colours began to wash off in the water and the beach became like the boy’s dream.
Today this island is one of the most beautiful islands of the Coral Sea.

WHY THE EMU CAN'T FLY
by Laure and Marie
A long time ago, in the dreamtime, the emu could fly. It was the most beautiful bird in the sky and all the other animals liked and respected the emu.
But the emu was conceited and unfriendly. So the sky decided to give it a lesson. He threw lightening on the emu. The emu fell down and the sky said :
“You must be more generous and friendlier”.
The emu tried and tried, but it could not fly. It was so sad it hid its head in the sand to cry.
But today, if it cries, it isn’t friendlier or more generous and its bad temper has punished all the emus.
The End.
C’est l’histoire d’un emu tellement prétentieux que le ciel décide de le punir.
Il ne peut plus voler et cache sa tête dans le sable.
Sa prétention a puni tous les emus.
C’est pour ça que les emus ne volent pas.

THE BABY KOALA
by Caroline and Mathilde
In the Dreamtime, a long time ago, the baby koalas had only one choice to stay with their mothers, which was to hold on to their mothers' backs with their little fingers. This was not very comfortable for the mothers or the babies but it was the only solution they could find.
Little by little, when the babies became bigger, they pulled on the poor mothers' skin and their skin became stretched. When these mothers had another baby they got a brilliant idea! The mothers made a pouch with the stretched skin.
Since this day, the baby koala sleeps in their mother's pouch, till they get bigger hands.
C’est l’histoire d’un bébé koala qui ne trouve pas de position pour dormir sur le dos de sa mère jusqu’à ce que sa mère trouve une solution....
