In May we celebrate Saint Mary

In the month of May we celebrate Saint Mary , the mother of Jesus. In Kortrijk we have a lot of big and small chapels. They are all open for the public during the month of May. A lot of people go to light a candle or put flowers for good fortune and health. Near our school we also have chapels and an imitation of the Lourdes grotto. We went there this afternoon and lighted a candle for a good camping trip or sports week next week. This year we also lighted one for good fortune for our partners.

Enjoy the pictures,

Start of Belgian English garden

We finaly found time to sow the seeds we received from our english friends. We did this on Monday and we were surprised that we saw the first green coming out today. We take good care of the plants.

Meester Freddy promised a peace of land in the school garden to plant our the flowers when they are big enough.

We are very curious how it will look like.

Ann and co.

Hello Folks

We have completed another practice expedition for the bronze Duke of Edinburgh award. The pupils have to carry all their clothes and sleeping bag to the camp site. The distance they had to walk was 12k. When they arrived at the site they had to put up their tents. We use "pop-up" tents because they are easy and quick to put up. We cook and eat our food in a wooden hut, this makes it a little bit more comfortable. The weather was very good for us and we only had a small amount of rain on Thursday evening.

We have Tanja from Slovenia joining us for our summer camp maybe she would like to chose the colour of her tent?

We are doing the expedition again week commencing May 17th and then the pupils will have achieved their award.

ZAKDOEKJE LEGGEN/ LIEDJE SONG

Here are the lyrics with " Zakdoekje leggen".

Chloë and Margot are singing for you. Maybe can try to sing it too.

Zakdoekje leggen niemand zeggen

Ik heb de hele nacht gewerkt

Twee paar schoenen heb ik afgewerkt

Een van stof en een van leer

Hier leg ik mijn zakdoekje neer.

Enjoy the game!
