Meeting with Mr Stengers went really well. He was very interested in the course and how the family were settling in, we talked about Jet lag and the complete opposite of time. I mentioned that Nev keen to help out with rugby team etc and he was really keen about that. We discussed the times for me to come, basically 4 mornings a week available after I take out primary times and my conversations a CLA. He thought that was brilliant amount of time. However, he doesn’t really want me till December/ January but he will have me if the Lycee doesn’t want me! He tried to ring M.Daboval but no luck, I also explained to him I have tried to ring Genevieve and no phone call returned also that Jean-Francois hasn’t rung back after the meeting.
Left there with him promising to ring me back on Monday.
After lunch the girls had their first contact with their teacher and classmates. All the children meet outside and line up to wait for their teacher to take them to the class. Hermione’s teacher, a young female who can speak a bit of English, didn’t catch her name! Off she went to the 4th floor.
Seph not so sure about things wanted me to stay with her so we went upstairs with a lady to the class, this was in fact the music teacher! The lesson started with a song from another culture (Serbia) and the teacher walked around showing the costume picture. All children were sitting 2x2 straight to front and not much room for anything else.
After this the children did voice exercises – breathing/exhaling, (making escargots) up and down the scales, louder/softer and volcanoes!
A song where she played guitar – Seph at this point started getting upset - which started me off! She wanted to go home! It made me wonder if I have done the right thing! Settled her down and her normal class teacher came in –A man!! Very nice, Mr Santan, I think was his name. No English! He gave Seph a colour the correct colour maths exercise while the others got a language exercise using subjects and conjugating verbs!
At 3:00 there is a small break, where the children line up outside the class and are ushered in SILENCE down the stairs to the concrete playing area.
We met up with Hermione who seemed really happy with her class and teacher – thankfully!
Seph was all talk too about how hers was great and I think we are all Ok for her on Monday! Couldn’t stop her when she got home to Nev!
Supermarket again!! (Only a very small fridge and seem to eat so much fruit and vege!)
Watched Star Academy and the girls were very excited because it also had Leona Lewis and The Jonas Brothers!
