Sounds great but I think I will miss them terribly. And I don't think their teacher will be nice enough to send photos and news our way (pity!). Enjoy your week-end!

Nice to meet others like ourselves, even if it's virtually right now...sort of like old fashioned pen pals! I'm still trying to get a grasp on these school trips - I think they are town and teacher dependent - first if the town still offers them and second which teachers at the school volunteer to take their group. I only have learned this as another class of CE1/CE2 went on Classe Verte also - they did separate activities - age appropriate. My middle daughter is in CE1 but her teacher did not choose to take a group this year..(fine with me as I'm not sure she would have been up for 8 days away.). I'm looking forward to the Summer colony (camp) for my girls this summer near the Atlantic coast through our mairie - It's only 6 days and my 2 oldest girls are going the same week - should be fun! <br /><br />Thanks again for commenting - I too have a weakness for duck fat!..and I love to cook - so always up for trying new French recipes!

Thank yo...Hi from a fellow American here in France. Thank you for following my blog, it led me to you! It looks like your daughter is having a wonderful time away. I think it's so cool how they do these school arranged trips and activities; you get so much more here in the way of services and perks like that. My daughter is 10 and in CM1, so no school trips for us yet. Or maybe we don't do it at our school...I'll have to look into it. They do do swimming lessons through school and summer camps through the village mairie and organized child care system here. I look forward to reading more and getting to know you and your lovely family. Welcome to the American/Frenchie blogging world. <br />bisous,<br />Aidan <br />ps your duck and potatoes look sooooo good! i've a weakness for duck fat since living here.Aidanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16518167933001080635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761673547870363596.post-52814350976728970182012-06-04T21:07:57.513+02:002012-06-04T21:07:57.513+02:00Thanks Nicola...I just checked out your blog...loo...Thanks Nicola...I just checked out your blog...looks like we do have quite a bit in common!...so great to connect through blogging - I will definitely be following your blog - having daughters is such great fun!

I was up at 5:30 this morning to see my own 11 year old daughter off on her week long sailing trip to Brittany and I spent yesterday packing from a very similar list. My 8 year old twins just returned from a week at circus camp they LOVED it and cried because they wanted to go back! Definitely a good French tradition!<br /><br />We moved from California to Paris last August. Looks like we have quite a lot in common!Nicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09768547917630050424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761673547870363596.post-44453358812637947142012-06-04T07:05:34.761+02:002012-06-04T07:05:34.761+02:00Jen,

In 6th grade they go for a week to the absorka mountains and stay in cabins and hike and have classroom time. It is called natural history days and they learn about Science and the environment. Maddie missed this trip since she skipped 6th. However next year the whole class goes on expedition yellowstone. The school partners with yellowstone national park and they go for a week into yellowstone and have physical and mental challenges and learn lots of science. <br /><br />Also my Dutch friend gees's daughter is on a week long class trip in the Netherlands now as well. There perhaps like in France they take the class trip at the end of elementary school (6th) as a way to mark the ending of a period. In Netherlands this is the age that all of the students are sorted into levels for secondary school.yellowstonemomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02581213989228173500noreply@blogger.com
