On the 28th of November, the class of 3E and 2 pupils of 3D welcomed some British pupils, who are at Sacred Heart School, our partner school in the surbubs of London. The headmaster explained the funtioning of the school in France and Mrs Fenoulhet translated it in english.
Then we had a French breakfast. The British pupils thought that it was delicious. When we finished, we talked together, we danced and we sang. We all had great fun ! Besides, the British pupils tell Mrs Fenoulhet this some time spent at Collège Diderot was one of the best of their stay in Paris. All of us were so disappointed. What a shame they had to go !
The pupils of 3E will visit them in London in their school the 5th of December. Then they will tell us. Meanwhile, this is the programme of their trip.
Le 28 Novembre, la classe de 3E et 2 élèves de 3D ont accueili des élèves anglais, qui sont à Sacred Heart School, notre partenaire d'un quartier de Londres. Le principal leur a expliqué le fonctionnement des écoles en France et Mme Fenoulhet leur a traduit en anglais.
Puis, nous avons eu un petit-déjeuner français. Les élèves anglais ont trouvé ça délicieux. Lorsque nous avions fini, nous avons discuté, dansé et chanté. Nous avons tous trouvé ça génial ! D'ailleurs, les élèves anglais ont dit à Mme Fenoulhet que ce moment passé au Collège Diderot était l'un des meilleurs de leur séjour à Paris. Nous sommes tous très déçus qu'ils soient déjà partis !
Les élèves de 3E vont leur rendre visite à Londres dans leur établissement le 5 Décembre. Ils nous raconteront. En attendant, voici le programme de leur voyage.

Le collège Diderot propose désormais 4 classes de section européenne d'anglais réparties sur 2 niveaux : deux en 4ème, deux en 3ème. Les élèves sont sélectionnés par leurs professeurs d'anglais selon les critères suivants:
- motivation réelle pour la langue anglaise
- motivation pour la culture anglaise
- résultats satisfaisants
- participation constructive au cours d'anglais tout au long de l'année scolaire.
A la fin du 3ème trimestre de 5è, l'équipe d'anglais se réunit pour constituer la liste des candidats pouvant intégrer la 4ème européenne. Cette liste est donc établie au vu des résultats et de la motivation de chaque élève.
Une fois en section européenne, les élèves ont 2 heures d'anglais hebdomadaires de plus que leurs camarades (soit un total de 5 heures par semaine) durant lesquelles ils approfondissent leurs connaissances du monde anglophone. Cette année, la classe de 4è européenne (4B/4E) a commencé à correspondre avec des élèves de Sacred Heart School (banlieue sud-est de Londres), inaugurant ainsi l'appariement mis en place en mars 2011 entre les deux écoles.A l'occasion de ce jumelage, les élèves ont réalisé des présentations numériques de leurs établissements respectifs, de leurs lieux de vie, de Londres et de Paris. Ces présentations ont été rédigées à la fois en français et en anglais.
Cet échange permet de mieux connaître la culture britannique et rend l'apprentissage de l'Anglais plus attrayant.
Nous continuerons l'année prochaine avec les mêmes élèves... en espérant nous rencontrer "for real" cette fois ci !
"one never knows".
Rendez-vous à la rentrée 2011 !

" Sweet dreams " is a song by the English group "Eurythmics" . There are 2 persons in the group .This song was realeased on the album Sweet Dreams ( Are made of this ) . The song is the description of a dream , a kin of escape from reality.
Group
Eurythmics was a band gathering Annie Lenox ( singer , composer ) Dave stewart (guitar, bass, keyboards, composition) .
The 2 musicians were already in love at that time , and they decided to work together on this album ! This song was a hit . If we had to give clues about this type of music, we could say that it was between New Wave and Reggae music ! Actually , Mtv once asked Annie's label a birth certificate to make sure that she was the real singer because she was disguised, in the clip "Sweet Dreams" . One cannot talk about this group with out mentionning their dress code ( and hair style ) which were quite flashy at the time but are dated now we must confess !Have a look at this picture to get a glimpse of the time ...
You can see Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart !
NO COMMENT !
Oh my god , i can't found word which can define this dress !
Times
As you may remember the song itself dealt with Dreams , imagine what he want , escaping from hard times ... because it was a period of unemployment in the UK. Indeed, the "Iron Lady''(Margaret Thatcher) was causing a lot of strikes, and again ...This period was a very difficult time, don't forget that several very famous singer like John Lennon or Bob Marley were murdered , this was another shock for the public , but they fast recovered thanks to music !
DID YOU KNOW THAT ??
Dave Stewart Annie Lennox met in a restaurant in Hampstead (a suburb of London ): "The Pippins"where she is a waitress. They then began a relationship and an artistic collaboration .
And don't forget : UK rocks that's for sure !

Song
'' 7 days '' is a song by the english singer ''Craig ( Ashley ) David '' .
This song was realeased on the album ''Born To Do It '' in 2000.
The song is about a man who meets a girl on his way to his friends on a Sunday. He thinks she's beautiful, asks her phone number ('A six digit number and a date with tomorrow at nine') and they meet again the day after... He tells us about their week together and confesses that he can't get this 'lady out of his mind' ! ( hence the tittle '' Seven days '' )
Singer
Craig david is the only singer .
He decided to work on this album after his success with the song'' Fill Me in'' !This song was a hit for 7 days ! If we had to give clues about this type of music, we could say that it is R'n'B music !
Actually , at 19 David is the youngest British male solo artist ever to enjoy the distinction of a sudden song number. One cannot talk about this singer without mentionning his dresscode which is typical of the British and American suburbs guys !Have a look at this picture to get a glimpse ...
Yeeeaaah !
NO COMMENT !
Times
The 21st century opens with tragic events such as the Empire State Building which collapsed after suicide bombers' attacks. Yet, Craig David tells us about love and passion, which is happier !
As you may remember the song itself deals with love and the description of a woman who seems to be in control : beautiful and clever at the same time who obsesses the singer. Indeed, After gaining political rights in the United States and much of Europe in the first part of the century, and with the advent of new birth control techniques, women are more independent throughout the century , they are bossy and know what they want (have a look at the lyrics).
And don't forget : UK rocks that's for sure !

This song was a hit .
If we had to give you clues about this type of music , we could say that it was ROCk , New Wave and Reggae music!
Unfortunately, the band broke up in 1984 .
Actually , At the live Earth concert in July DATE the group reformed for the occasion and played ''Message in a Bottle'' with the rapper Kanye West !
One cannot talk about this group without mentionning their dress code(and hair style) which became basics at the time ... and are dated now we must confess ! Have a look at this picture to get a glimpse of the time
NO COMMENT !!
Times
As you may remember, the song itself belonged to the New Wave trend. The New Wave was elaborated by numerous British and American artists, and became popular through the decade, particularly in the eighties.
Did you know that ???

Song
'' It's Not Unusual '' is a song by the singer Tom Jones .
This song was released on the album Along Came Jones in 1965 . The song was sung at first by someone unknown, before being offered to Sandie Show and then it was sung by Tom jones.
This song is about a man believing that it's not unusual ( hence the title ''It's Not Unusual '' ) to love somebody , to have fun with the person or to be loved by anyone in your everyday life .
Singer and song
'' It's Not Unusual ' was a blockboster in the 60s . If we had to give you clues about this type of music , we could say that it was more or less POP music because at this time it was really popular ! Yet , the BBC initially refused to play it , but the off shore pirate radio station Radio Caroline promoted it .
Tom Jones became Sir Tom JONES on the 31st december 2005 (Queen Elisabeth II) .
Obviously , Tom JONES found inspiration from Elvis Presley. Indeed, he did confess it several times refering to the latter as his mentor and idol .
One cannot talk about this singer without mentionning his dress style which was basic at the time ... But is dated now we must confess !
Have a look at this picture to get a glimpse of the time... wasn't he cute ? ;-)
NO COMMENT !
Times
As you may remember , the song itself dealt with LOVE <3 , because LOVE is universal, it's an extraordinary feeling which crosses every boundaries, that's why tom jones sang this song .
Don't forget that 'the Sixties ' are known as the years of the beginnings of counterculture and social revolutions (terms used by historians , journalists).
There were still many taboos as sexism and racism , there was no means to communicate with the ''colored persons''... therefore, music was the only way to communicate with each others, no matter the differences... and that's what Tom jones did in his song!
Did You Know That ???
In the middle of the 80s , the heavy metal magazine'' Kerrang! '' published a hoax announcing that Tom Jones had just been hired as singer of the group Black Sabbath. This hoax was a shape of mockery against the famous British group which did not stop changing vocaliste during this period
We do hope that this article was interesting and not too boring and that from now on you are DEFINITELY a great fan of TOM JONES !!!
And don't 4get : UK ROCKS , that's for sure !
