The french newsletter

JOYEUX NOEL


The letter from Brest


Hello everybody from Brest How are you? We know we are writing very late but our silly Fred had lost the dates!! We’re very sorry about it (he feels very guilty!!!).


We’ve been on holidays since last Saturday. During the last week, after days full of evaluations, we had the pleasure to receipt the parcels. So on Tuesday night, all the teachers were invited by Katell to discover your treasures in her home. We were like in family, waiting near the Christmas Tree, the eyes full of joy!!


Then, the discovery began.



Wonderfull!!
So many many things!!! The decorations are superb, and we were all surprised by the carps. What a marvelous biscuits’smell, arriving from Prostejov, invaded the living room. Tio and Tia were unknown for all of us. Sophie brought the parcels back school on Thursday to show them to the nursery pupils. On Friday, the two Freds carried them to the European corner and during the last afternoon, each form came to discover them (the parcels not the two Freds!).







What a success!!!

With the flashcards, they’re looking forward learning the pronunciation. They have been too very surprised by the carps cause in France we draw paper fish too, for the jokes'day, the first April, to be hung in your friends'back.
Tia and Tio are now as famous as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie but less appreciated than the Caganer…Oh my god what a laugh!!!

We’ve realized our sweet differences between our father Chrismas, and the couple Saint Nicolas/little Jesus and the other couple Tio/ the Three Kings.

Of course we had hung the decorations in our Christmas tree, but we were a bit disappointed to tidy them after the Christmas period. So we’ve decided to keep the tree (on the decorations on) in the European corner for the rest of the year.

We wish you a marvelous and happy Christmas, full of gifts cause we’re sure that you’ve been very kind during the year.



Love from Brest
