Noémie
Demain on va faire une excursion géographique à la campagne. On va étudier les rivières. Ça sera vraiment intéressant mais aussi fatigant car c’est une journée très longue.
Michaël
À la fin de l’année scolaire il y aura une visite à un parc d’attractions pour tous les élèves qui n’ont été ni absents ni en retard pendant l’année scolaire. À mon avis ce n’est pas juste, car il y a des élèves qui ont été malades, ce n’est pas leur faute. On s’amuse, bien sûr, mais aussi on fait des sciences d’une manière pratique. Je trouve ça très utile.
Noémie
Tomorrow we are going on a geography field trip to the countryside. We are going to study rivers. It will be really interesting, but also tiring because it will be a very long day.
Michaël
At the end of the school year there will be a visit to a theme park for all the pupils who have not been absent or late during the school year. In my opinion that’s not fair because there are some pupils who have been ill - that’s not their fault. We have a good time, of course, but also learn some science in a practical way. I find it really useful.
