We did it again! Last thursday our theater students presented "Golfes de Roma! a version of "Something funny happened on the way to the forum"

Our students from the scenic studies performed last thursday a version of a comedy of Plautus, the classical roman writer. They did a great job! And the public had a very good time!

Congratulations!

An interview about the local changes

Three pupils from the club asked questions to pupils of 6ème ( aged 11years old)about the changes in the district of Orgeval. Here is the interview they made.

Interview made by Sarah Baitiche, Yasmina Lecomte with the contribution of Khadidja Mohamed.

"We, Sarah and yasmina, pupils of 3ème D and 4ème C have interviewed 4 pupils of 6ème C ( Priscillia, Melek, Chella and Nabil) who have worked on the study of the urban landscape and the renovation of the Orgeval district, with their History and Geographgy teacher, Mr Malecha.

Here are the questions we asked them :
1. What change is the tram going to bring in the district?

Chella : "more choices as far as transport is concerned. The former blocks of flats will be replaced or renovated "
Melek : "The gym of Gallieni school has been renovated"

2. What will replace the former buildings?
Nabil : "environmentally friendly houses and much smaller buildings"

3. In which part of the district would you rather live? "
Priscillia : "in the Poincarré area because there are more green spaces and it's better upkept"

4. Where is the fresco designed by pupils from the Collège located?
Nabil : "the fresco is visible on the boiler room, it's more beautiful now because of the vivid coulours"
5. Do you think it's a long the way to go to the city centre by bus ?
Do you think it will be shorter by tram?
Chella and Melek : "yes, i think it's long , it will be sohoter by tram but it will also be more expensive"


The pupils we interviewed are concerned about the changes brought into the district, especially : the fresco, the renovation of the buildings and of the gym and also by the building of environmentally friendly buildings.

We found them serious and motivated along the interview and we thank them for their contribution."

LAST VISIT TO OUR CONTEMPORARY ART CENTER: LA PANERA

Last 29th of October we visited the Center of Contemporary Art La Panera in Lleida, in an activity of the Comenius project CHANGE BY ART.

Both exhibitions, IMATGES I SONS EN EXTINCIÓ and MITJANIT A LA CIUTAT, are useful for us to work through concepts about our project as metamorphosis, change, sustainability and space. The first year students are developing a sonorous and image project about daily sounds and places they want to preserve, and daily sounds and places that are dangerous for our survival. With their recorded sounds and pictures we will build a sonorous map of our region.

In addition to that, they are working on literary compositions around the Mitjanit a la ciutat (midnight in the city) from the idea of the night as a changing and metamorphosis moment of the reality.

For the moment, and as an introduction to all this interesting works, here you have the grafhic view of the visit and both exhibitions from the objective of GEMMA COSTA, first year student. Enjoy them, they are great!:
